Deco : Fantastic tool for the studio and stage

I bought this pedal primarily for it's tape doubling capabilities in a home studio environment. When run in a stereo setup this pedal delivers fantastic sound quality and can do a ton of different tape effects - from a slight fattening up of the tone, to tape chorusing, slap-back delays and even a limited tape delay.

The quality of this doubling is much better than other similar products I've tried, although perhaps a bit more subtle as well. Perhaps that's the actual reason for it's success though.

The other side of the pedal, the tape saturation emulation, also works really well. I don't think it can really be used as an actual overdrive, but post-amp it adds a very nice grit and smoothness to the tone.

I would have preferred if it came with support for stereo input through two TS connections, but with the right adapters and an internal dip switch you can make it accept a stereo input signal through a single TRS cable.

Some will find this a bit expensive for its subtle effect, but if you understand what you're buying and are willing to pay the price I don't think you'll find it any better!
