Anyone else excited about this.



Sounds fantastic.

Yeah, this seems cool. I need a timeline.

This is the only way a flanger or chorus would end up on my board. It could be fun to do a board with just this and the El Cap. Unfortunately for me, I don't have another spot on my power strip for my pedalboard or the gumption to drop $300 on something that I can duplicate with plugins like the Tapehead on recordings.

Color me intrigued...will have to check back in when the in-depth demo is released.

Not that I have the cash to spare for one of these, but I do think it's a neat idea.

I have 3 Strymon pedals: the El Capistan, the Timline, and the BigSky. I really enjoy all three, and am a fan of what Strymon is doing.

I don't know if I like the idea behind the Deco, but I can see why they would include it in their line up. It's not a standard overdrive, it actually fits with what they've done with the specialized Delays. I also think the chorus/flange/slapback makes sense as well, and also fits.

I don't want one in the least.

Very interesting. This sounds like it actually can do what many effects over the decades were supposed to do.

I think they may be targeting this at studio and synth guys as much as guitar heads.

Tape emulation seems to be all the rage at the moment for plugins.

Yeah I think so too.
It would be an interesting tool on drums in a studio.
