Strymon Deco Tape Saturation & Doubletracker Guitar Effect Pedal w/EU Type AC Adaptor

Strymon's Deco brings vintage tape effects from the earliest recording studios, right on your pedalboard. Its Tape Saturation smooths out your sound with familiar and delicious tape compression and saturation while fattening it with subtle tape-driven transparent overdrive. The Doubletracker provides the power to shift your sound in many ways, easily allowing you to achieve syrupy slapback tape echoes, psychedelic tape flanging, and gorgeous tape chorusing sounds.
