=============
DIG unearths the true soul of digital delay and doubles it-two simultaneous, integrated delays with the captivating rack delay voicings from the 1980s and today, for incredible expressive potential.
Effortlessly create your own world of intricate and synchronized echoes, along with hypnotic and atmospheric repeats that blur the line between delay and reverb. Stretch your sonic horizons with five musically satisfying rhythmic subdivisions and three dual delay routing options. Go from syncopated, pulsating delay patterns, to evocative, spaced-out echo trails all in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
I regret I can only like this upload once. I would take this opportunity to say how nice it is for product to be so thoughtfully showcased and demonstrated. Tasteful playing, concise explanations and no unnecessary hype. Well done to all!
Thank you so much activeeq :D
Great video, Strymon! I make lots of these, and I love how concise it is and how you covered everything, spending just enough time on each feature. Very nice
I have the DIG, Timeline, Big Sky and the Mobius for about 6 years now, never looked back, even today after 8 years since these pedals came out, nothing, i mean NOTHING compares to these pedals, Strymon is and always will be a trend setter in the guitar effects world.
Meris is tops too
One of my favorite pedal, so amazing even in 2022, strymons don't show their age.
Strymon is untouchable nothing available today compares to their awesomeness, everything they do become a must have. Thanks guys
I recently purchased a strymon deco pedal and what you can do with it is just absolutely amazing the dig is going to be my next purchase these guys add so much value to their product it is unbelievable
Thank you so much!! :)
This is so helpful. I wish every higher end pedal had a video like this. Demonstrating the effects is wonderful, of course, but also going into the background of developing it, and the ideas behind it. I just ordered one of these today, in part because of this video. Great job, Strymon.
Thank you Michael!
Strymon pedals are so packed with amazing possibilities, but I would be lost without these videos. Love it.
Thank you :)
Your playing is better than most of the people who make pedal demoing their life; and they're not busy designing fantastic products!
ebeep Thank you so much :)
Pete, As a Principal RF, HW, & Systems engineer for 3 very well known global companies, and also as a part time gigging musician over the last 20 years (fulltime for the 10 years prior), and happy owner of every product Strymon makes, I say this: you sir, are an utter genius! Thank you for blessing us "weekend warriors" in all shapes, sizes, and abilities with these truly magnificent creations that give us the tools to reach the sounds, and the bounds of sonic imagination. Even though I paid list, I am deeply in your debt. lol!
+lastdaysguitar Thank you so much for the kind words to Pete. I'll be passing this along to him and I'm sure it will make him blush. It helps all of us work harder when we read comments like this. If you are ever in the same room with Pete, please make sure to come over and say hello. I know you both would have a wonderful conversation together :D Thanks!
Love it mate!! I now own the pedal, can't stop watching your demo..articulate and beautiful.
Thank you!
... I must confess, the first time when I saw a Strymon pedal in a youtube video I didn't like it - it was a Timeline and seeing its price I thought that it is only an exageration - then I watched more videos here on youtube and in time I realised how worthy these pedals are, they are the best - and then I felt in love with the Big Sky which I recenlty bought it and I am more than happy with it - now I can only dream having all your pedals in an ultimate dream pedalboard ! ... thank you for making all these possible, you guys, are the best ! ...
Thank you so much :)
I'm glad that Walter White is still alive - and doing great guitar videos like this. Awesome pedal - especially the stereo feature!
I AM the golden ratio.
YAWN
Sounds amazing! Strymon killing it on all fronts. Great demo, good stereo sound to really feel the full depth of the pedal. Pleasure to watch and hear.
+Jeff Scarrott Thank you!! :D
Absolutely love my DIG. Please Strymon update it for midi!
The detail in these breakdowns/overviews really is unparalleled! Thoroughly enjoyed :D
Thank you :)
@zapantalambda There is no level control for the Dig, however, there is a MIX knob for each of the delays to control the dry and wet signal mix level.
Really enjoyed this video, thank you!
The monotone yet warm voice limits itself to tell just that detail which is relevant at that moment, calmly to be followed by some guitar playing examples, during which a light smile appears on the sound designer's face.
Wonderful.
Looks and sounds like a fantastic pedal, fairly easy to operate.
Thank you so much :D
A stunning dual-delay pedal. I bought one last week together with the Blue Sky, and have been lost in ambience ever since !
+Peter Marshall Love that. Thanks :D
I've always had a deep love and constant use for tape and analog delay, only digital delay I would is the Boss DD series...but this is incredible and very versatile. Great job guys
Absolutely amazing pedal! Best delay ever! In my humble opinion - best Strymon pedal!
Thank you!
Five years of on and off drooling. Finally placed my order. Will feedback when I have spent some time with it. 👍🏼
Haha i’ve been the same, will get it this week
@@lafemmeparallel I love this pedal. Fabulous sound. Exceptionally flexible and incredibly versatile. This is a keeper.
just another genius creation from Strymon.
Thank you so much ☺️
Pete, as always, great demo.
in my opinión is the best digital delay in the market. Great great work Strymon.
Incredible pedal. I love this and the El Cap. Guess I'll have to try the brigadier and see what secrets it holds. The DIG and El Cap are both just so inspiring.
I LOVE YOU GUYS! I own ALL your pedals, nothing else is good enough. This pedal fits my style. I will be buying it. Keep coming up with new stuff!
Jason Fillion Thanks so much :D We definitely will keep working on more new goodies!!
Whaat?!? Keep it up and you guys will be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. Its not even a fair fight: Strymon vs the rest is like Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris. Dig it.
That moment when you realise delay will never, ever, get better than this... These aren't pedals, they're instruments!... Thanks Strymon, will now be buying.
Best Delay pedal I ever bought, And I can say the same for the Chorus and Phaser pedals.
Around 4.24 its almost Echorec like, fantastic bit of kit, buying one after this .
as a 9 year guitarist who is also a studio engineer and studying sound art science, the combination of excellent playing with in depth technical knowledge makes Pete's demos invaluable. if you don't understand, check out Strymon's video featuring Pete on the Deco! currently I own a timeline and a big sky. next on the list was an el cap and after tonight I may need to add the deco and dig to my growing list
+James Honey Thank you so much for the kind comment! We appreciate it and drives us moving forward :D
+strymon absolutely! Strymon is a staple of my board! keep up the great work!
I have a TimeLine that i'm joined at the hip to, so I won't be getting this one soon. But man, these demos of the DIG are a top-notch masterclass in how to use various kinds of dual delay. Very useful and inspiring stuff. Cheers and thanks.
Patrick Hay Thanks! Love to hear that TimeLine is a part of your music. If you post any videos, please share with us. :)
You guys always out-do yourselves! This sounds soooo great. You guys are gonna leave me broke!
Good lord, mine just arrived - secondhand but thats always a good thing as it drives people to buy newer versions or different pedals (I do!)
This is your best pedal Strymon, it is just superb. (Big Sky, El Capistan and Timeline owner - all fantastic).
I've been lost in a cavernous pingpong of chorus percussive perfection since it arrived.
I'm pretty sure if I plug this into the others it will reveal hidden dimensions within the universe. . . .
Thank you.
You guys knocked it out of the park again! It sounds glorious!
I wish that strymon would come out with a rackmount combination that incorporated all the abilities of the "Timeline,Big Sky, Mobius and dig-dual " . Stereo ins and outs and 4 loops for additional outboard gear .(like distortion or whatever suits to taste). I must be crazy! to wish for such sound pallett heaven !!!!
+stuknd80s Hi, Thank you so much for the feedback. We don't discuss what is or isn't in the works, but appreciate hearing from you. Will pass along to the team :)
Ok, this will definitely be my next pedal. Exactly what I'm looking for, all in one!!
After 6 years this delay is still unbeaten. And probably will stay like that forever.
Fantastic demo.....i want one after watching this!
well if Heisenberg has one....
Hahahahaha!!! Strymon sure can cook!!!
You’re gosh darn right.
I thought I was done with Strymon. I thought wrong. Well done.
You know Pete that is a really nice pedal, even on my laptop it sounds awesome. Nice job, dig your axx too, thanks for the demo
jim jimm Thanks so much!
Digging the DIG! Will purchase soon!
Pete is a mad genius
3:26 is a nice relaxing ambience tone!
Holy Strymon! Amazing,I want one or three!
Pete ..so good! I'm getting a University education here. All for free! I wish you could do all the you-tube demo's.
Richard Bates Thanks so much Richard :D
strymon Your quite welcome.Seems to me back in the late eighties effects were engineered strictly for the tweaker. I had me an Ibineze analogue rack-mount guitar delay which had 3 independent delays in series. It was ear candy all the way, (no math was used) and I spent very little time on making music. The sense of adventure fueled the motivations ha! We needed you back then.
amazing demonstration
VERY delicious sounding--a possible add to my pedal board soon....
Pete, you're the man. Thanks for the vid
Thank you so much! Pete will definitely appreciate hearing that :D
Angela, you're the bomb as well!!!!! :)
Ha ha! Thanks William :D
Strymon, as always amazing!!!!
I dig it!
Wow, just when you thought they couldnt do any more with a DDL..well done strymon, very innovative indeed
Ps..love my el capistan!
love those chords
Such a great delay, but sorry I have to ask Pete what model Agile he is playing, and what pickups are in that thing. It sounds divine! Great Chords progressions PETE! Strymon rocks.
+guitarvideos777 Hi, Thanks so much! It's an Agile AL-3000 with a GFS FAT PAT in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck. It's my 'go to' :)
Ufff Eargasm and Im sold with the sound @14:08
great products from these folks
Fantastically musical.
I could just "live" in the delay that exists between 13:30 and 14:30... just... wow...
This thing sounds amazing.
Well I think it might be time to upgrade my Boss DD7.
Hey guys, you did it again! Very simple and useful product. Great! I just bought the rare and hard to find korg dl8000r on ebay for these effects. Much better product than tc's flashback delay.I am curious what's next on your list.
I wish it had presets.
02:18 - when you watch the video and then remember that you're broke
🤣
Great review! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great piece of gear ! I really enjoy it with my hihats and it is great for drums as well. !
Would love to hear if you post any videos :)
My friend you are the Steve Jobs of the guitar world. Strymon is the best pedal company by a mile imo
Thank you Alex :)
I love the DIG!
astonishing!
really classy sounding pedal!!
I already have a timeline, but this video makes me want to buy the DIG
Damn, just damn. This is going to sound great with my El Cap.
Pete is the fucking man - not many have the perfect make up of player, electrical engineer, and Mad Scientist. Should be inducted in The Hall. Thanks Pete - haven't bought one yet. Liking the Dig a lot. Great price on Reverb right now :)
+Chronic Downpicker Thank you! Will make sure Pete gets the message, I'm sure he will appreciate that :D
Sold!
Awesome chords you are playing in this vid. I thought it was pronounced 'dij' like in 'dij-i-tall'. That would be hip. Put some dij on it man!
Can’t wait 😊
Well... that does it. Now, I gotta get the DIG too. I was sorta thinking maybe my BigSky, Lex, Deco & Iridium might be enough for a while. But, NOOOOOOOO.... The DIG is just simply too cool not to have as well! Plus, I may as well get the Zuma. Oh, and I will need the Ola because I always have vibrato turned on. Chorus won't hurt. HEY STRYMON, DOES THIS EVER END???? This has become an addiction! Seriously! I innocently bought the BigSky because I simply wanted the best Rev I could get, and that is it. But, it opened up a whole new Universe of sonic quality for me. Thank God I don't have any children or a house! I might have to live in my car, but I will have the plushest sound around! LOL But, seriously, thank you Strymon for putting out products that are what we have always dreamed of having. I am in my sonic happy place with your pedals. Keep them coming. (I guess my only issue is: I wish you just built every pedal with the expression pedal already built-in. But, I guess that becomes a real-estate & price-point issue.)
That clean tone though
Hey, guys, I wanted to know if there is any relation between the sound of the 12 bit mode and the sound of dark analog delays. I know that digital delays don't do so well with high repeats because of their bright sound, so I'm wondering if the 12 bit mode is a solution to that.
P.S: I own the DIG and I love it.
@strymon
+Philip Hernandes Analog and 12 Bit digital delays process their effects in different manners to achieve their distinct sounds. Analog delays use bucket brigade chips to produce their delay repeats which lower in fidelity with longer delay times and repeats. The 12 bit mode of the DIG achieves its warm sound from pre-emphasis and compression prior to the A/D conversion where the delays are generated. For the D/A conversion, an expander returns the signal back to the original level along with de-emphasis to restore a flat signal response and reduce noise from the conversion process. You can certainly use 12 bit mode for warmer and darker digital delays.
3:28, yeah--that.
Dear Pete ,
love the Deco pedal you have created !!! , could you make an overdub type pedal ?
it would be different from a dual deck, double track sound . As you know , the overdub sound is created by recording the same (part /sound) on multiple tracks thus creating
speed descriptions on the attack (pre-delay) ? and also producing a tape modulation.
+Rich Polito Thank you so much for the compliment and the feedback. We don't discuss what is or isn't in the works, but appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you are interested in :)
Not to sound like anything here but you need to have one to get what he is doing so if you are think of getting one do! Stop thinking you won’t regret it! Even if one day you’ll pull the trigger on the more expensive timeline you won’ regret getting this one.
have you ever considered seperating (or allowing for seperation) of the tap and bypass from the control functions so that (for example) the bypass and tap remain floor controlled and the rest of the unit is 'top of the amp' or other, more easily accessed by hand? The unit sounds really useful BTW!
Elliker Donald Glad you like the Dig! We did not consider it for this pedal as we were going for a traditional pedal design with on-board TAP Tempo and Bypass switches.
@13:35 so good. #seasickdelay
another Great fx pedal.. cool filter and repeats!! Now i don'tt know which one to choose
i need preset recalls with something as cool as this.
Hi Great video how can i set it up on the send and return of my amp. Thank you
Connect the send of your amp to the input of the DIG, and then use the left out of the DIG to go back to the return :)
If you have any more questions please email support@strymon.net
@@strymon thanks a lot. Great pedal
So is the internal chip modeling the sound of the conversion of a 12bit a/d/a or is the signal actually being converted using 12bits?
The internal DSP is modeling the 12-bit sound.
Time to find a light used one on Ebay or Reverb :)
insightful video !!
Fucking Bad Ass, A True Masterpiece of a Pedal
You make a Agille sound very good
That is some nobel gentleman that CAN play. Very very informative and inspiring. Thank You. I "dig" it :-)Btw. You could pretend Walter White from Breaking Bad :-)
Thank you! Glad to hear you liked the video :)
I love all Your videos. Pure inspiration.
wolfhorsky That is great fuel for us to make more :D Thanks!!
in minute 10:38 I see that you activate the secondary function by pressing the tap and bypass buttons. But I also see that can you bring back the buttons to 12 o'clock and I'm not sure what that is for?
Thanks
Rob
Hi! So basically Pete is moving the knob a little to just make sure that the secondary function is set to the ping-pong configuration, which is around 12:00.
I hate digital pedals, because why not just get the "real thing". But this pedal sounds amazing. It's not trying to emulate anything. I dig it.
Thank you so much :D
strymon sorry for the delayed response, I had to repeat some stuff for my grandpa, he's hard of hearing
Holy shit Walter White plays guitar as well
Hahahahaha!!! doppelganger!!
THIS COMMENT IS ON EVERY VIDEO OF HIM LOL. RUTHLESS FKS
I dig it. :)
love it... could do with midi in for sync though
+AdjustableSquelch Thanks for checking out the video! :)
Hey! We're over here? Why are you looking over there???? I hate when they do that. How did that become a thing?
why does it not have a Level knob same as the El Capistan? like how do we control the loudness?
