Strymon Deco Tape Saturation & Doubletracker
The introduction of reel-to-reel tape machines and the creative engineers that used them brought on some of the fattest sounds imaginable.
Product Description
The Strymon Deco Tape Saturation and Doubletracker pedal! 
The Deco from Strymon gives you the warmth of tape saturation with a huge range of beautiful tape enveloping sounds. The Tape Saturation side smooths out your sound with tape compression while fattening your tone with a transparent tape driven overdrive as you turn up the Saturation knob. The Doubletracker Side will bring you back to the early days of recording when tape machines were used to obtain classic tape echo, doubletrack chorusing, and tape flanging. With the Deco you can even add random modulations with the Wobble control moving from subtle to extreme undulations.
