Acoustic Strymon DIG V2 Dual Digital Delay
Acoustic · pedal
The Strymon DIG V2 is a dual digital delay stompbox offering three selectable delay voicings: ADM (early 1980s Adaptive Delta Modulation with lo-fi warmth), 12-bit PCM (mid-1980s 12-bit pulse code modulation with warm vintage character), and 24/96 (modern 24-bit 96kHz high-resolution clarity). Two independently configurable delay lines run simultaneously in series or parallel. The two lines can also run as a ping-pong delay. Version 2 adds a dedicated Tone control, three modulation depth levels, and expanded MIDI capabilities. A golden ratio timing mode creates a logarithmic spiral decay pattern. Particularly suited to ambient, shoegaze, post-rock, and studio recording.
