Thank you for actually doing a review on a delay pedal with some gain and overdrive! Seems like most reviewers are under the impression that we’re all in U2 tribute bands were everything is crystal clean.
I watched this demo 10x already! Even though I have the DIG fro years now still love watching this video. Best demo of the DIG "on the line"
Thanks Dave. What a pedal!
Type mimics the way old units worked. 12-bit is old Roland/Boss, like the DD-3, and adm is Korg SDD-3000.
I had one of these for years, one if the best delays I have ever used!!
Awesome walk-through of this pedal. Your tone and playing are also very nice! Thanks!
I’ve been through a lot of delay pedals. This is the one that’s stayed around the longest. It’s absolutely amazing.
Best delay pedal ever, sounds very colorful, absolutely love it. Great video! And thanks for sharing your IRs
My pleasure, glad to hear the IR's are going to use!
Watched your vid last week and it convinced me to get this, what a fantastic pedal this is, thanks Leon.
Soooooo good hey!
Looking to get this ! Great review! Sounds incredible and well explained! I’ve currently got and using the tc electronic flashback delay but this Dig is stunning 😍
Amazing video! Incredible sounds and playing. The DIG is my favorite delay out there. I've been through many many and always come back to the DIG. I have two on my board along with the two favorite switches, so I get 4 presets. I love not only the tones, which never seem to get in the way of your core guitar tone or playing, but the pedal's dry pass through (ie part of your dry signal never gets converted digitally) really keeps the feel of your guitar. Thanks for the great video!
Yeah this immediately became one of my favourite delays ever. A dual dig rig must be awesome!
The Dig is my favorite Strymon delay. It really is great. Glad to see your demo of it.
It hits the spot in a big way
Sweet tones. I have an El Capistan & a Boss DD7 on my board and I always thought that was all the delay I needed but this thing is really warming my loins
Great review! Awesome playing! Such a great sounding tone and style.
Same color as my late 80s RG550! Cool demo Leon, some great tones
Tight, soulful playing as usual sir.
Great video love the sounds!
That opening tone 💜 that pedal does sound fantastic 👍🏼
So good!
this guy is an amazing guitar player... great feel... does really well explaining the dig.....anyone lookin at buying this pedal... should watch this video... AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I love that you’ve taped over the logo on your guitar.👌🏼
I'd paint that fine piece of gear!
Cub Koda used to wear pink glittery tennis shoes, drove me Nuts!
And That's a Short drive Brother!
Thanks for sharing Leon and Be Well
All!
yep, buying on cause you mate. you use it as it ought to be used! i think it's the advanced features that really make this pedal shine
Enjoy!
Ha 3 years late here but, just waking up to the good stuff. I'd keep this on my pedal board, thats for sure. Thanks.
Your review made me buy Dig. The quest for perfect ping-pong delay is finally over :-)
It’s seriously amazing. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but it sounds killer
Man this is amazing I have a boss dd3 actually and I was looking for the strymon delays, I play as you with a lot of distortion and this delay it's the more suitable for this scenario I think !! Really sweet!!!
It just works! great delay
the DIG was the third of my now eight Strymon pedals. The newest is their new Ambient Reverb pedal which is amazing. I love Strymon pedals, to say the least. :)
Thanks for this. I have a Volante, and it's beautiful, but it's more complicated than I need it be. This looks like a happy medium.
I just bought this pedal. I love the part in this video about the unison setting because that’s the way I wanted to use it and I didn’t know that it could do that rock on EVH. Dual delay
Thanks mate! KILLER pedal
I love it!
Have to say of the arsenal, that white LP is the one guitar I like the most.
The Strymon pedal really have something, at least the one I tried. I still have a Timeline on my board and I'm a delay crazy guy. The Timeline is the one still there for all these years!
Strong argument can be made that the timeline is THE delay pedal of our generation
@@LeonTodd I completely agree with this statement. The Timeline is the staple delay that dethroned the Line 6 DL4 for most players.
7:45 is gonna make me buy one these need a second delay for my smaller board wow man thank u for amazing tones as always, finally someone who does high gain🤘
Good choice!
@@LeonTodd well i got one on the way thanks for that🤣 seriously though, was really on the fence until i watched your demo, i cant wait until it comes !
Great review
Nice "Randy Rhoads", Cream Les Paul Custom, man !! ♫
I just got one of these, and it's also my first Strymon. Well, suffice to say, it almost certainly won't be my last. What an amazing pedal.
And 12bit mode with deep modulation and dotted eighth on delay 2 is the best setup, in my opinion.
So good hey!
Sounds like you can make a killer post-rock album.
great video!
Bought one because of this video, it's the high gain delay I've been looking for.
This makes me so happy to hear, glad you've found "the one" :D
Is there anything the DIG does that the Timeline doesn't?
That 12-bit almost sounds like Boston. Awesome!
Yes to the 12-bit!!
that's the sound of a generation right there.
I love the Lego Pirate Bay too
Great video and a great pedal. Please do some U2 with it that would be awsome
Big fan of rack delays here.
I appreciate you showing us the subtle side of the delay - so many reviews showing the tape/pfloyd type delay which I don’t care about. Would love to hear some EVH sounds
Guitars. Lego. Only just needs. Beer fridge and some Star Wars Lego and it’s basically my back room. 😅
😁
I dig your DIG demo.
One of the best demonstrations on the internet of this pedal outside of Strymon's own.
Thanks for going stereo. I'd love to hear you do a shootout between DIG and the Vintage Delays algorithm in the new H90 and also hear how close you can get to either of them using the Axe-Fx. How about an 80's stereo digital rack style delay extravaganza?!
Strymon took all that glorious character of old rack delays, made it stereo and easier to use. My favourite pedal they've ever made. I did an SDE-1000/Rose/Dig side by side that I need to expand upon at some point.
@@LeonTodd Yeah, that was a good video too. I liked that one a lot. The Rose seems like one of those pedals that gets so close to what everyone wants, but just misses the mark enough to get put on the B-Team.
insane
Best delay
I must learn this lick starting around 8:46 that's nice.
Gotta love Strymon.
Strymon are to pedal in the 2000's what Eventide were to racks in the 80's and 90's.
I agree, plus they’ve taken steps further with new and creative sounds. Strymon exclusives are one of the very few new algos. 👍
12-bit!!! Yes!!! 👦🏻
Well done Brother! I'd probably paint
NICE LEGO PIRATE "BARRACUDA" SET : )
I appreciate your appreciation!
Lol why was I not subbed. You make me want to buy every product you demo
Cool demo! It was nice to see the Dig in a more hard rock/metal context. Most of the reviews showcase it with just clean tones. If you get a chance, I'd love to see you try some Free the Tone pedals too.
Yeah I figured there's probably a LOT of clean demos with this. My job is to bring the filth :p
The Flight Time delay looks SO nice and tasty
Indeed
On minute 7:38 I see you do some very nice adjustments on the secondary function in conjunction with your Distortion which sounds amazing. However, I'm confused when you bring back mix 1 and 2 to 12 o'clock. Can you please explain thank you?🙏🏻
My all time favourite pedal. Mono is cool but stereo is massive. I run 2 in series for even more epic and hold fav switch
To loop
2 Digs in series! What is this wizardry?!?!
why is no one's clean tone actually clean in these kinds of demos
Very cool thanks for sharing, I just recently got one for ambient native flute music 🤍🙏
Now this I gotta hear!
Leon how do you like this compared to others on the market for leads? I prefer a simple set it and forget it. Would you use this over the dd-200 even though they do some different things?
This delay pedal just might be the last one I ever buy. It's that good period. 12 bit delay for me for sure but I always set the first delay mix higher and the second delay mix one lower. Incredible dual digital delay!
Good choice!
Nice work on your gear demos always man thanks!
Have you tried the irridium? Tried Hennings and man it was awesome!
Yeah I demo'd it a while back. Loved the Vox model on there.
just watched you video on the HALO... awesome.. seems to me that the Strymon DIG should be able to do the same thing.. .. ?? what do ya think?
You should try more strymon pedals, they are incredible! By the way Leon, what pickups are on that Les Paul?
TV Jones P90's!
Hey just bought a DIG.
How do you run it? Straight into the front of an amp or through a loop?
Thanks 👍
I hope you're using some of that riffage in upcoming music. Starting around the 10:08 mark. Tasty licks my man!
That's already in use - check out the Ragdoll song Heaven Above :D
Take a look to the song Heaven above, is an astounding song from the beginning to the end
What pickups on that Les Paul? Look like P90 in humbucker shape
🤘🏻👍🏻🎸😎
Strymon is a Greek company? BTW nice LP!!!
Are you in mono or stereo? Also what amp(s) are you running through?
Curious as to why the Gibson logo has been covered over with tape? Are you an endorsee of another company?
by the way when you went over and started showcasing the delays on your "filthy" sound......can you describe what you were playing through etc?
Ask the amp tones are from the Axe-Fx III. The dirt is the USA Lead (Mesa Mark IV) model
Hey Leon, are those Martin A. Smith P90s you've got in that Custom?
TV Jones P90's actually, they sound fantastic hey
Great sounding pedal, Leon. Is it a stereo in and stereo out ? Or Mono in and stereo out ? I appreciate your video
You can do either, there's a little switch inside
@@LeonTodd Thank you, sir. Enjoy your Dig
And now please compare the pedal to the possibilities of an Axe-Fx III or FM3. Is it worth the extra money? Or is Fractal Audio gear all you need?
You can do this and a lot more with the fractal gear - there's quad delays, ten tap delays, megatap delays and over a dozen standard delay modes. Pretty wild
What amp or dirt pedals are you using for you high gain tones? That sound is intense!!!
The AxeFx III MK IV amp model
Despite the age of my Eventide Time Factor, I still like it more and love all the preset banks. However, using knobs instead of all the eventide menus is a big plus. I wish you could compare this to an eventide. Either way, another astounding demonstration from Leon here!
Timefactor was on my board for years, definitely one of the best delays ever made IMO. I still have a H9 with all the TF algorithms and I am planning a big delay shootout soon :D
What do you think at this price point... Dig vs DD-200? I had a Dig at one point and sold it. It's amazing at the thing that it does, but I felt it was limited in the voice of the actual delay for the money. I've now got a DD-200, and it scratches the itch for dual delay in the dual delay mode, but it doesn't quite match the Dig for this. Which would you choose if you could only have one on your board?
Classic case of "does one thing but it's the best at that one thing" vs "does lots of things pretty good". I realistically need 2 delay tones live, with one being slightly louder than the other, so this would tick the box.
why do you cover the Gibons logo?
Been looking for something that can do that late 80s/early 90s DT/QR Petrucci/Degarmo 2290 high gain lead 3D beautiful sound…..so far in pedal form this sounds best. Some of Strymon from what I heard are EX Tc employees….so if anyone can come close to a 2290 in a pedal it’s them. I know nothing IS a 2290…..but they are 2k plus now. This is close enough.
Free the Tone Future Factory is worth a look as well.
10:05 is this a song or is it improvised? Thumbs up for the playing and the delay
Ragdoll "Heaven Above"
OMG that thing sounds HUGE!! One question for this Friday, what do you think could be the VST plugin to compare? (for the people like me which cannot afford that pedal... :( and Oh Jeez, the Heaven above´s riff sounds like played from the Heavens...above!!
What does it do that volante doesn’t ? Smaller?
Two separate delays in series, true ping pong delay and dual stereo ping-pong modes. The modulation is voiced differently too. Volante has spring reverb and 4 seperate delay taps and can get considerably darker/crunchier than this.
Have you seen the Nux duotime lot of pedal for the money.
Yes indeed, I've got a demo up
I think the DIG is super sweet but the El Capistan is where it’s at!
I think I did a vid on the El cap a while back. Pretty fantastic unit, I really like the reverb on it too
what is that epic song you play alot omg its perfect and yes i live under a rock. 9:15 it starts
Ragdoll - Heaven Above
@@LeonToddme like
Hi guys! please tell me that he is playing at 10:04?
That's a Ragdoll song called "Heaven Above"
@LeonTodd Two things.......
1. Did it come with the manual to better understand it?
2. You were not talking too much. That is supposed to be there in your videos to convey whats going on. Us guitar players are also gearheads and talking shop is a good thing!!! "D"
Stymon manuals are pretty good. Theyre all online if you wanna look this one up
The web manual sorted me out, especially with the hold functions. Strymon manuals are the gold standard.
@@LeonTodd Would you still the Settings Nuno Bettencourt used on the MP-1? Let me know how to get them to you. "D"
@@d-mack7053 I've got them! I need to do a video trying them :D
@@LeonTodd Gotcha!!! I didn't know. Take care.
Thumbs up for not owning a Strymon pedal! 🏆
Honestly bro, you should teach a master class in how to review guitar gear. No long intro music, no life story, no Yngwie Malmsteen impression. You are clearly a great player, but you only take out your chops when it makes sense in the review. You get into it with short, relevant commentary, and then you demo the gear, which you clearly understand. I only wish you demo'd every piece of gear I'm interested in. Thx.
Its really lame that you cant save presets...
I think you can save one as a "favourite". I was a bit bummed this didn't have some kind of Midi over TRS functionality like some of their newer pedals. A revamped version with more presets would absolutely kill.
@@LeonTodd no midi switching? I am astounded.
to each their own and i respect you but who gets this delay for shredding? wtf
