Strymon La Brea

An all-analog drive that uses multi-stage tape saturation techniques to create driven tones ranging from mild breakup all the way to full fuzz, La Brea also features high frequency filtering and a fully variable Dry path that always stays in phase with the pedal’s output. It’s a seriously flexible drive, equally as adept at adding subtle warmth and a bit of compression as it is at throwing flames without apology. If you’re a fan of Deco’s saturation you’ll feel right at home, and if you’re unfamiliar with what tape-based drives can do for guitar tone, you’re in for a treat.

Product Features:

• All-analog tape saturation drive initially inspired by our own Deco pedal’s Saturation voice.

• Full analog design - nothing digital in the signal path.

• Gain switch to set the range of the Tape Saturation control.

• Shift switch to enable a dedicated high frequency boost or a high frequency boost with added

  midrange frequencies for fatness and clarity.

• Variable Dry path is always in phase with the pedal’s output for adding clarity and fatness

  even with high saturation levels.

• Runs at 24V internally to facilitate high headroom, a wide gain range and quiet operation.

• Requires a 9VDC, center negative pedal power supply with 500mA of current.
