Strymon built a reputation on digital wizardry—big boxes, deep menus, endless presets. But behind all that DSP lives an analog team that's been quietly designing circuits nobody gets to see. Times are a-changing.... Click on the title for more
Strymon, a name long synonymous with cutting-edge digital processing, has entered the analog arena with the Fairfax Drive, a pedal that intriguingly presents itself as a full amplifier circuit in miniature form. While inspired by a classic 1960s tube design, it substitutes valves with JFETs and employs a custom circuit to emulate the sonic characteristics of an output transformer. A key technical feat is its internal power supply, which steps up the standard 9V input to... 40V (!!!), granting the circuit significant headroom and a notably dynamic, amp-like response....

Before tape echoes and digital delays, there were oil cans—bizarre, beautiful machines that used a spinning metal disc and a can of oil to create some of the most atmospheric, murky, and musically unpredictable repeats in history. Strymon, in their relentless pursuit of vintage tone, has now masterfully bottled this elusive magic with the Olivera, a pedal that doesn’t just emulate an oil can echo: it resurrects its very soul....

The latest addition to the Californian company's lineup of high-quality effects pedals, the (single-head) Strymon EC-1 is an evolution of their beloved (multi-head) El Capistan delay, and it's designed to emulate the warm, organic sound of vintage tape echo machines. Those heads are obviously virtual, because both devices leverage digital circuits.... Click on the title for more
The Strymon El Capistan is a lush stereo emulation of a vintage Tape Echo device, in a cleverly simple box. It offers three Tape modes emulating different reading head configurations (Fixed, Multi and Single) and three ways to slightly tweak each one of them. Separate controls for Tape Age and Wow and Flutter. Sound on Sound mode allows you to use it as a looper.... Click on the title for more
