I regret I can only like this upload once. I would take this opportunity to say how nice it is for product to be so thoughtfully showcased and demonstrated. Tasteful playing, concise explanations and no unnecessary hype. Well done to all!
Great video, Strymon! I make lots of these, and I love how concise it is and how you covered everything, spending just enough time on each feature. Very nice
I have the DIG, Timeline, Big Sky and the Mobius for about 6 years now, never looked back, even today after 8 years since these pedals came out, nothing, i mean NOTHING compares to these pedals, Strymon is and always will be a trend setter in the guitar effects world.
I recently purchased a strymon deco pedal and what you can do with it is just absolutely amazing the dig is going to be my next purchase these guys add so much value to their product it is unbelievable
This is so helpful. I wish every higher end pedal had a video like this. Demonstrating the effects is wonderful, of course, but also going into the background of developing it, and the ideas behind it. I just ordered one of these today, in part because of this video. Great job, Strymon.
... I must confess, the first time when I saw a Strymon pedal in a youtube video I didn't like it - it was a Timeline and seeing its price I thought that it is only an exageration - then I watched more videos here on youtube and in time I realised how worthy these pedals are, they are the best - and then I felt in love with the Big Sky which I recenlty bought it and I am more than happy with it - now I can only dream having all your pedals in an ultimate dream pedalboard ! ... thank you for making all these possible, you guys, are the best ! ...
Pete, As a Principal RF, HW, & Systems engineer for 3 very well known global companies, and also as a part time gigging musician over the last 20 years (fulltime for the 10 years prior), and happy owner of every product Strymon makes, I say this: you sir, are an utter genius! Thank you for blessing us "weekend warriors" in all shapes, sizes, and abilities with these truly magnificent creations that give us the tools to reach the sounds, and the bounds of sonic imagination. Even though I paid list, I am deeply in your debt. lol!
+lastdaysguitar Thank you so much for the kind words to Pete. I'll be passing this along to him and I'm sure it will make him blush. It helps all of us work harder when we read comments like this. If you are ever in the same room with Pete, please make sure to come over and say hello. I know you both would have a wonderful conversation together :D Thanks!
Sounds amazing! Strymon killing it on all fronts. Great demo, good stereo sound to really feel the full depth of the pedal. Pleasure to watch and hear.
Really enjoyed this video, thank you! The monotone yet warm voice limits itself to tell just that detail which is relevant at that moment, calmly to be followed by some guitar playing examples, during which a light smile appears on the sound designer's face. Wonderful. Looks and sounds like a fantastic pedal, fairly easy to operate.
I've always had a deep love and constant use for tape and analog delay, only digital delay I would is the Boss DD series...but this is incredible and very versatile. Great job guys
Incredible pedal. I love this and the El Cap. Guess I'll have to try the brigadier and see what secrets it holds. The DIG and El Cap are both just so inspiring.
I have a TimeLine that i'm joined at the hip to, so I won't be getting this one soon. But man, these demos of the DIG are a top-notch masterclass in how to use various kinds of dual delay. Very useful and inspiring stuff. Cheers and thanks.
Whaat?!? Keep it up and you guys will be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. Its not even a fair fight: Strymon vs the rest is like Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris. Dig it.
That moment when you realise delay will never, ever, get better than this... These aren't pedals, they're instruments!... Thanks Strymon, will now be buying.
Good lord, mine just arrived - secondhand but thats always a good thing as it drives people to buy newer versions or different pedals (I do!) This is your best pedal Strymon, it is just superb. (Big Sky, El Capistan and Timeline owner - all fantastic). I've been lost in a cavernous pingpong of chorus percussive perfection since it arrived. I'm pretty sure if I plug this into the others it will reveal hidden dimensions within the universe. . . . Thank you.
as a 9 year guitarist who is also a studio engineer and studying sound art science, the combination of excellent playing with in depth technical knowledge makes Pete's demos invaluable. if you don't understand, check out Strymon's video featuring Pete on the Deco! currently I own a timeline and a big sky. next on the list was an el cap and after tonight I may need to add the deco and dig to my growing list
I wish that strymon would come out with a rackmount combination that incorporated all the abilities of the "Timeline,Big Sky, Mobius and dig-dual " . Stereo ins and outs and 4 loops for additional outboard gear .(like distortion or whatever suits to taste). I must be crazy! to wish for such sound pallett heaven !!!!
+stuknd80s Hi, Thank you so much for the feedback. We don't discuss what is or isn't in the works, but appreciate hearing from you. Will pass along to the team :)
strymon Your quite welcome.Seems to me back in the late eighties effects were engineered strictly for the tweaker. I had me an Ibineze analogue rack-mount guitar delay which had 3 independent delays in series. It was ear candy all the way, (no math was used) and I spent very little time on making music. The sense of adventure fueled the motivations ha! We needed you back then.
Pete is the fucking man - not many have the perfect make up of player, electrical engineer, and Mad Scientist. Should be inducted in The Hall. Thanks Pete - haven't bought one yet. Liking the Dig a lot. Great price on Reverb right now :)
Well... that does it. Now, I gotta get the DIG too. I was sorta thinking maybe my BigSky, Lex, Deco & Iridium might be enough for a while. But, NOOOOOOOO.... The DIG is just simply too cool not to have as well! Plus, I may as well get the Zuma. Oh, and I will need the Ola because I always have vibrato turned on. Chorus won't hurt. HEY STRYMON, DOES THIS EVER END???? This has become an addiction! Seriously! I innocently bought the BigSky because I simply wanted the best Rev I could get, and that is it. But, it opened up a whole new Universe of sonic quality for me. Thank God I don't have any children or a house! I might have to live in my car, but I will have the plushest sound around! LOL But, seriously, thank you Strymon for putting out products that are what we have always dreamed of having. I am in my sonic happy place with your pedals. Keep them coming. (I guess my only issue is: I wish you just built every pedal with the expression pedal already built-in. But, I guess that becomes a real-estate & price-point issue.)
Hey guys, you did it again! Very simple and useful product. Great! I just bought the rare and hard to find korg dl8000r on ebay for these effects. Much better product than tc's flashback delay.I am curious what's next on your list. I wish it had presets.
Such a great delay, but sorry I have to ask Pete what model Agile he is playing, and what pickups are in that thing. It sounds divine! Great Chords progressions PETE! Strymon rocks.
That is some nobel gentleman that CAN play. Very very informative and inspiring. Thank You. I "dig" it :-)Btw. You could pretend Walter White from Breaking Bad :-)
Hey, guys, I wanted to know if there is any relation between the sound of the 12 bit mode and the sound of dark analog delays. I know that digital delays don't do so well with high repeats because of their bright sound, so I'm wondering if the 12 bit mode is a solution to that. P.S: I own the DIG and I love it. @strymon
+Philip Hernandes Analog and 12 Bit digital delays process their effects in different manners to achieve their distinct sounds. Analog delays use bucket brigade chips to produce their delay repeats which lower in fidelity with longer delay times and repeats. The 12 bit mode of the DIG achieves its warm sound from pre-emphasis and compression prior to the A/D conversion where the delays are generated. For the D/A conversion, an expander returns the signal back to the original level along with de-emphasis to restore a flat signal response and reduce noise from the conversion process. You can certainly use 12 bit mode for warmer and darker digital delays.
have you ever considered seperating (or allowing for seperation) of the tap and bypass from the control functions so that (for example) the bypass and tap remain floor controlled and the rest of the unit is 'top of the amp' or other, more easily accessed by hand? The unit sounds really useful BTW!
Elliker Donald Glad you like the Dig! We did not consider it for this pedal as we were going for a traditional pedal design with on-board TAP Tempo and Bypass switches.
Dear Pete , love the Deco pedal you have created !!! , could you make an overdub type pedal ? it would be different from a dual deck, double track sound . As you know , the overdub sound is created by recording the same (part /sound) on multiple tracks thus creating speed descriptions on the attack (pre-delay) ? and also producing a tape modulation.
+Rich Polito Thank you so much for the compliment and the feedback. We don't discuss what is or isn't in the works, but appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you are interested in :)
Not to sound like anything here but you need to have one to get what he is doing so if you are think of getting one do! Stop thinking you won’t regret it! Even if one day you’ll pull the trigger on the more expensive timeline you won’ regret getting this one.
Connect the send of your amp to the input of the DIG, and then use the left out of the DIG to go back to the return :) If you have any more questions please email support@strymon.net
conor3000 The Dual delay on the TimeLine is similar, but the different voicings, golden ratio time time setting, and the ping pong configuration provide the Dig with its unique tonality and configurability.
I regret I can only like this upload once. I would take this opportunity to say how nice it is for product to be so thoughtfully showcased and demonstrated. Tasteful playing, concise explanations and no unnecessary hype. Well done to all!

Meris is tops too
One of my favorite pedal, so amazing even in 2022, strymons don't show their age.
Strymon is untouchable nothing available today compares to their awesomeness, everything they do become a must have. Thanks guys
I recently purchased a strymon deco pedal and what you can do with it is just absolutely amazing the dig is going to be my next purchase these guys add so much value to their product it is unbelievable
Thank you so much!! :)
Your playing is better than most of the people who make pedal demoing their life; and they're not busy designing fantastic products!
ebeep Thank you so much :)
Strymon pedals are so packed with amazing possibilities, but I would be lost without these videos. Love it.
Thank you :)

Thank you Michael!
Absolutely love my DIG. Please Strymon update it for midi!
Love it mate!! I now own the pedal, can't stop watching your demo..articulate and beautiful.
Thank you!
Five years of on and off drooling. Finally placed my order. Will feedback when I have spent some time with it. 👍🏼
Haha i’ve been the same, will get it this week
@@lafemmeparallel I love this pedal. Fabulous sound. Exceptionally flexible and incredibly versatile. This is a keeper.

I'm glad that Walter White is still alive - and doing great guitar videos like this. Awesome pedal - especially the stereo feature!
I AM the golden ratio.
YAWN
You guys make some seriously incredible pedals.
Sounds amazing! Strymon killing it on all fronts. Great demo, good stereo sound to really feel the full depth of the pedal. Pleasure to watch and hear.
+Jeff Scarrott Thank you!! :D
just another genius creation from Strymon.
Thank you so much ☺️
A stunning dual-delay pedal. I bought one last week together with the Blue Sky, and have been lost in ambience ever since !
+Peter Marshall Love that. Thanks :D
@zapantalambda There is no level control for the Dig, however, there is a MIX knob for each of the delays to control the dry and wet signal mix level.
Really enjoyed this video, thank you!
The monotone yet warm voice limits itself to tell just that detail which is relevant at that moment, calmly to be followed by some guitar playing examples, during which a light smile appears on the sound designer's face.
Wonderful.
Looks and sounds like a fantastic pedal, fairly easy to operate.

Absolutely amazing pedal! Best delay ever! In my humble opinion - best Strymon pedal!
Thank you!
The detail in these breakdowns/overviews really is unparalleled! Thoroughly enjoyed :D
Thank you :)
I've always had a deep love and constant use for tape and analog delay, only digital delay I would is the Boss DD series...but this is incredible and very versatile. Great job guys
Best Delay pedal I ever bought, And I can say the same for the Chorus and Phaser pedals.
Incredible pedal. I love this and the El Cap. Guess I'll have to try the brigadier and see what secrets it holds. The DIG and El Cap are both just so inspiring.
Pete, as always, great demo.
in my opinión is the best digital delay in the market. Great great work Strymon.
Around 4.24 its almost Echorec like, fantastic bit of kit, buying one after this .
I LOVE YOU GUYS! I own ALL your pedals, nothing else is good enough. This pedal fits my style. I will be buying it. Keep coming up with new stuff!
Jason Fillion Thanks so much :D We definitely will keep working on more new goodies!!

Whaat?!? Keep it up and you guys will be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. Its not even a fair fight: Strymon vs the rest is like Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris. Dig it.
You guys always out-do yourselves! This sounds soooo great. You guys are gonna leave me broke!
Ok, this will definitely be my next pedal. Exactly what I'm looking for, all in one!!
I thought I was done with Strymon. I thought wrong. Well done.
Fantastic demo.....i want one after watching this!
You guys knocked it out of the park again! It sounds glorious!
That moment when you realise delay will never, ever, get better than this... These aren't pedals, they're instruments!... Thanks Strymon, will now be buying.

Digging the DIG! Will purchase soon!
love those chords
3:26 is a nice relaxing ambience tone!
Holy Strymon! Amazing,I want one or three!
well if Heisenberg has one....
Hahahahaha!!! Strymon sure can cook!!!
You’re gosh darn right.
After 6 years this delay is still unbeaten. And probably will stay like that forever.
VERY delicious sounding--a possible add to my pedal board soon....

Thank you so much! Pete will definitely appreciate hearing that :D

Great piece of gear ! I really enjoy it with my hihats and it is great for drums as well. !
Would love to hear if you post any videos :)
This thing sounds amazing.
Damn, just damn. This is going to sound great with my El Cap.
I could just "live" in the delay that exists between 13:30 and 14:30... just... wow...
Great review! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
really classy sounding pedal!!
I love the DIG!
Well I think it might be time to upgrade my Boss DD7.
I already have a timeline, but this video makes me want to buy the DIG
That clean tone though
astonishing!

insightful video !!
I dig it. :)
Fucking Bad Ass, A True Masterpiece of a Pedal
Time to find a light used one on Ebay or Reverb :)
02:18 - when you watch the video and then remember that you're broke
🤣
i need preset recalls with something as cool as this.
Awesome chords you are playing in this vid. I thought it was pronounced 'dij' like in 'dij-i-tall'. That would be hip. Put some dij on it man!
My friend you are the Steve Jobs of the guitar world. Strymon is the best pedal company by a mile imo
Thank you Alex :)
