Strymon EC-1, the Tape Delay You Didn’t Know You Needed
March 2, 2025, Pedals
The EC-1, the new stereo tape delay from Strymon is a great option for anyone wanting that...
Few pedal companies have in their archives the caliber of pedals in their coffers to bring out of retirement. @DrScientistSounds stands at the top as far as we’re concerned!
After an updated release (and smaller footprint) of their beloved Sunny Day Delay (https://youtu.be/hXyOhvGpFQY), Ryan, Tanya, and Neil have done what many companies only wish they could: bring back the classics! Yes they’ve resurrected the Reverberator and the Tremolessence and we got our hands on both!
First up here is wonderful mini Reverberator in the elusive crytid Ogopogo design. Simple to use with a mix and level knob, a pre-delay switch for selecting shorter or longer pre-delays, and an 8-way knob to select between the 8 algorithms, including Hall, Room, Plate, and Rotary Speaker.
The beauty of this pedal, besides the gorgeous sounds it can produce, is the sheer simplicity of it. Why paralyze yourself with over-tweaking when you can adjust a knob or two and let the music flow?
We 100% recommend this one…except not this one. This one is ours!
