Strymon La Brea Analog Tape Drive
$ 199.00
Inspired by the original whitepaper on the Deco pedal, the Strymon La Brea is an all-analog drive that delivers authentic tape-style saturation purely in the analog domain. By utilizing multi-stage tape saturation techniques, this pedal effortlessly transitions from mild, subtle breakup all the way to aggressive, full fuzz. Whether you want to add gentle warmth and compression to your tone or throw unapologetic sonic flames, the La Brea is engineered to be a seriously flexible drive for your pedalboard.
A standout feature of the La Brea is its fully variable Dry path, which always stays perfectly in phase with the pedal's output. This ensures that even at high saturation levels, your fundamental guitar tone retains its clarity and fatness. Combined with dedicated high-frequency filtering options and high internal headroom, the La Brea offers unparalleled control over your overdrive and saturation character.
