Strymon Dig 2FS Delay

Strymon · pedal

The Strymon DIG is a dual digital delay built on a SHARC DSP chip, offering two flexible, detailed delay engines that can run in series or parallel for cascading lines and rich layered echoes. It also offers a ping-pong delay. It provides three digital delay voicings: an early-1980s adaptive delta modulation mode and a mid-1980s 12-bit PCM mode that nail the warm, slightly gritty character of vintage digital rack units without their aliasing and noise, plus a modern high-resolution 24/96 mode for pristine, hi-fi repeats. It is noise-free and sounds great with clean or high-gain tones, and it adds lush chorus, flanging, and modulation to the repeats. With tap tempo and stereo operation, it suits players wanting warm vintage digital character or modern clarity.

    — from the reviews

  • “It is used for cascading and ping-pong rhythmic delays, ambient layers, and vintage digital tones, sitting late in the chain in stereo into clean or distorted amps”

Trade-offs

  • “The main caveat is that its dual-engine depth and routing options take some learning compared to a single simple delay, though core sounds are quick to dial”
