The Deco brings the warmth, character, and unmistakable dimensionality of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines directly to your pedalboard. Inspired by the creative recording techniques of the ’50s and ’60s, it recreates the rich saturation, compression, echo, flanging, and chorus sounds that helped define classic recordings.
Its Tape Saturation section adds smooth, natural tape compression and luscious saturation while subtly fattening your tone with transparent, tape-driven overdrive. The result is a warmer, fuller, more enveloping sound that can range from subtle analog polish to distinctly vintage coloration.
The Doubletracker opens up an entire world of tape-based effects, from syrupy slapback echoes and psychedelic flanging to lush, dimensional tape chorus. Whether you’re adding a touch of vintage warmth or transforming your sound completely, Deco offers an exceptionally musical range of textures.
The second-generation Deco retains the character of the original while adding significant hardware, technological, and design improvements for greater flexibility, power, and ease of use both on stage and in the studio.
