Strymon DIG V2

Strymon V2 guitar effects are new and improved versions of popular pedal effects (Strymon Blue Sky, Flint, El Capistan, Deco, DIG and Lex). All Strymon V2 effects offer MIDI compatibility and MIDI control, including MIDI clock sync and access to 300 presets via MIDI, USB-C for MIDI-over-USB and firmware updates, TRS full stereo inputs with mono/stereo input switch, new Strymon Class A JFET preamp, as well as a powerful new 520MHz ARM processor.

Take the best of digital delay and double it. The Strymon DIG V2 offers two of these effects in a compact package, allowing you to create novel soundscapes or teeter on the edge of delay and reverb. Add in simulations of popular digital delays from the 1980s and it's clear you won't be bored with this effect.

There are three sonic characters - ADM (early 80s), 12 bit (mid 80s) and 24/96 (present day). You can set the first delay time between 20ms - 1.6s, and the tempo can also be set with the Tap switch by tapping your foot. The second delay can work either in synchrony with the first (in rhythmic subdivisions of triplets, eighth notes, dotted eighth notes, dotted quarter notes, golden ratio) or completely independently. Additionally, the echo can be modulated slightly or significantly using the Mod switch.

The basic functions of the controls, i.e. effect delay length, EQ, number of repeats and dry/wet signal ratio of the Delay 1 and Delay 2 effects, are complemented by advanced secondary functions in the form of e.g. the possibility to set signal routing (serial, parallel, ping-pong), Sync/Free function to set synchronous or independent second delay mode or infinite effect repeat (by holding down the TAP footswitch).

The expression pedal input allows connection of an external TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch/MultiSwitch Plus switches or TRS MIDI interfacing. All electronics are housed in a durable yet lightweight aluminum chassis. The Strymon DIG V2 offers a choice between true bypass and buffered bypass circuitry. Use the included 9V adapter for power supply.

The American company Strymon aims to produce precisely crafted effects and does not compromise in this area. As a result, Strymon effects are currently among the best you can plug your instrument into. The great enthusiasts at this small company spend months in the development of all effects, fine-tuning algorithms, calibrating and thinking through the smallest details. If you want to be in full control of your sound at all times, definitely turn your attention to this brand.
