March 2, 2025, Pedals
The EC-1, the new stereo tape delay from Strymon is a great option for anyone wanting that...
For all those who haven’t been able to make the leap to the Meris LVX yet we decided to give some love to the @strymon Timeline users out there. These 8 presets are all originals that Paul has created over the years for different applications.
These are available to our Core Collaborators on Patreon as part of their subscription tier, and available on our shop for purchase. Find these and all our preset packs at: https://patreon.com/thePedalCollaborative
Descriptions of each preset:
0:00 Basic Boi – A simple dotted eighth digital delay with tasteful modulation. Think U2, ’80s Pink Floyd, Angels & Airwaves—you get the idea.
1:15 Tapey – Vintage tape delay vibes. Easy to dial in, easy to get lost in.
2:35 There R Depths – A dual delay designed to feel haunting, like descending into deep, echoing pools of water.
3:52 Arctic Waves – An icy delay whose trails wash over your signal for maximum ambient goodness, complete with an octave-up shimmer.
4:57 Nostalgia 1 – Vinyl scratches and warmth—it sounds like an old stereo playing your memories.
5:58 Snow Flakes – Octave trails flutter around your main signal like delicate flakes falling from the sky.
7:00 Dark Dig – A warmed-up digital delay, shaped by the filter to add body and depth to your trails.
8:02 Stretch – Swell mode that does exactly what the name suggests—stretch it out.
