The Strymon Deco brings the warm, saturated tones and distinctive effects that were formerly only available on vintage analog tape machines and puts these rich tones in compact pedal form. One side of the Deco is dedicated to tape saturation, imbuing your guitar sound with the smooth, fat tone and gently compressed quality of overdriven analog tape, while the other, "Doubletracker" side of the pedal functions like a second virtual tape deck, used to generate classic tape effects like tape flange, chorus, slapback, and up to 500 milliseconds of echo. Its "Lag Time" knob controls the delay offset between the two tape decks, while a blend knob controls relative levels between them. The 3-way "Type" switch alters the phase relationship between these two machines for numerous subtle shades of analog tape tone. To simulate the sound of random speed modulation on the Deco's second deck, there's the "Wobble" control, which can take you from subtle flanging all the way to more extreme, but highly musical, tape modulation effects. As with many of Strymon's feature-packed pedals, the Deco boasts a wide range of hidden functions, including high and low trim tone controls, a boost/cut function, and a wide stereo mode. It also has stereo in and out capabilities, and a jack that can function as an expression input, remote external tap, or favorite switch, for saving a favorite preset. As with all of Strymon's premium effects, the Deco was designed and built in the USA.
About Starship Trooper : This pedal authentically recreates a sound that has eluded me for years. I've tried flangers, choruses, everything. Nothing did it this well.

You must really be into that song- I just looked it up- similar progression!
you are one of the unrecognized geniuses of our time
Hahaha! You have either an incredible ear or have an unhealthy Friends obsession.
@@buckbumble why not both? :D
This demo honestly gave me more of an idea as to what this pedal can do than the official Strymon demo. Nice job
I would like to be a fly on the wall when this crew is having their first meeting about what song will overtly/subtly demonstrate the strengths of a each pedal. If its all Andy, my lord, you are a master tone alchemist with an encyclopedic knowledge of every guitar sound from the last 50 years. I find myself coming here more and more for inspiration and general good vibes. Bravo PGS crew.
sonny A - I wonder the same thing, especially given the absolute volume of videos Andy churns out! He reminds me of my old College roommate, who was/is disgusting brilliant on guitar, encyclopedic in his knowledge of both music and theory, and not just in an academic sense, the guy can play with anyone. To humor me he used to tell me I was "much better at fingerpicking" than him, but then he went and mastered the banjo practically overnight 😆 He plays in/around Denver with some Alt-Grass groups, he just got to the point where he was bored with guitar. Granted, he doesn't have 5 kids like I do (I stuck to 4-6 hours of playing my guitars every day/night for several years into my first three, but then seriously injured my fretting hand while defending myself from two tweaked-out young punks - yes, they came out of that nasty bit of business far worse than I did, but not being able to play for several years and a lot of VERY painful PT certainly bummed me out for a long time :/ ), but all the same, he's almost certainly going to be a superior guitarist as long as we live!
He still around?
I’m in Pdx
Check super secret band out 🤘
Starship Trooper! You just outdid yourself, Andy.
Thanks everyone! I've been waiting for the right pedal to use that tune.
Yeah, I went berserk when i realized what he was playing. One of my favorite songs!
ProGuitarShopDemos Thanks Andy, that might be my favorite song, ever... and my new favorite pedal! (groans and reaches for credit card...). I'd love to hear more early Yes, if it ever strikes you.
ProGuitarShopDemos Sounds crazy close to the original recording. Well done Andy!
Tubes12AX7k Couldn't agree more. My credit card is shaking with anticipation...
I've been watching your videos for a long time; but now that you're sharing bits of classic song samples, I'm blown away and joyfully smiling. So cool!!! You have great taste in music and sound samples! Hope your boss gives you a raise. If you are the boss - you deserve a raise!
I saw this video and bought the pedal. It truly is a terrific pedal. Another great from Strymon. Inspiring.
I've re-watched this video and a number of other of Andy's videos multiple times just to enjoy the great guitar playing. (Also useful as a nice background when reading e-mails!) Thanks Andy.
I love this demo - it's very to the point and thorough!Plus the bonus of all those tasty songriffs. You've outdone yourself again my friend. Keep the pick - you earned it.
Really great demo. Not only are the jams beautiful, but he very nicely explores a bunch of sounds you can get out of it with various picking and fingering techniques all over the neck.
Dude your arrangement on this demo is excellent work. Nice creative stuff!
Yeah, Andy is an unsung guitar hero. He brings out the best in the pedals.
you just sold me this pedal in less than 2 minutes with that Yes patch.Need me a Deco. Beautiful!
Nice job. This is the 1st video I've watched from Andy but it's also the first pedal demo I've seen in a while where the pedal is used to demo songs we all know and love. I quite like the Strymon site vids for this pedal too but hearing "You're All I've Got Tonight" by The Cars (and "Starship Troopers") was particularly sweet. Elliott Easton is a highly underrated player.
You opened with the perfect song choice!
Andy plays demos with actual music that you want to listen to. But I never know if it's the pedal or just this guy's great playing that makes it sound so good.... :(
He sticks to the classics.
Da Guvna he plays obscure queens of the stone age sings all the time! as well as back catalogue white stripes and black keys stuff. also a red fang song on the acapulco gold! definitely not classics in the traditional sense. but it depends on what pedals you watch him demo for sure. this one, and basic boosts and generic drives that players want blues and classic rock tones from will elicit those songs for sure! which makes sense :)
It's his strumming hand. He doesn't use a pick. Welp guess who is pressing that evolve button
Excellent Starship Trooper - nailed the sound of the Yessongs version! I played this in the 70s using fuzz and a phase shifter, but could not get the tone exactly. This pedal was made for it, but credit to Andy for his great ear for tone and effects - and playing. Strymon rules! Wish I could have all their stuff...
Andy is by far the best review guy ever. He approaches every pedal with a, 'hey, I know that sound' and plays songs that we all know.
His amp reviews are killer and do give you an accurate idea of the sound you're going to get.
His playing is equally amazing. Reverb better pay him damn well because he's the best they have and the one I look towards when buying gear. I can't test 99% of what he does because music shops are so rare.
Thanks Andy... 🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺
Didn't know chigur played the guitar
Refreshing to hear Yes in one of PGS demos. Good job!
Andy, I'm very disappointed that I don't see you getting full name recognition, at the very least, in each of your demo videos!!! You, ARE an AWESOME Guitarist, and ought to get your proper acknowledgement for your work, here!!!! That said, I love this effect, and , I had bought a Strymon BigSky Reverb emulator because of your demo work on that device! Thank you Andy, and Strymon, for your wonderful collaboration, performance, and products! "BRAVO!!!"
So glad you did ST. Now I can copy how you approached some of the fingerings. beautiful.
EXCELLENT, as always, Andy! You made me purchase one!
Woohoo! Nice job with the Yes jam at the beginning man! Love that tune!
Jeff Beck nailed! - beautiful.
Oh geez, I just stumbled on to this - so awesome! Andy, that intro was epic! 😳😎😉
How do I like this video more than once?? The tones are outstanding, the song choice was amazing, and the playing - well, it's always great. Glad I stumbled on this one, even if I am almost 5 years late to the party. ;)
It's one of my favorite demos, thanks for watching!
Andy
This pedal is amazing-the Jeff Beck “Ain’t Superstitious” is spot on. And I must say that Andy is one of my favorite guitar players. Incredibly versatile.
That's the 1st flanger demo I've seen that made me want one... ever.
How amazing is this demo! A lesson in Yes as well! So good.
Excellent pedal, great covers as well, Andy!
Beautiful! *Checking a pedal test with tears in my eyes!*
f'ing Cars! Love it! This thing is the best pedal i've ever heard. Merry X-mas to me.
Wow! You are my favorite guitarist! I'd rather watch your demos than anything else. I always thought that was a Leslie thing for Starship Trooper. Thanks for the lesson. You rock Andy!
Wow Andy - playing some YES!! Awesome stuff mate.
Yes, Jeff Beck Group, and The Cars. This might be the greatest pedal demo ever.
Thank you for playing Starship Trooper! That was amazing! Now I'm buying that pedal!
I've never seen anybody approach Starship Trooper which came out like 45 Years ago! What great guitar Playing! Kudos! Love the Deco, too.
Just had to add my dollop of praise for this fantastic demo! It really takes balls to tackle iconic players, tones and riffs head on - and then deliver! Gotta say that it's always bugged me that on any list of guitar heroes, Elliot Easton's name somehow gets left off - his parts and tones are SO singular, and SO compliment the songs they're in (and there are SO many of them, each different from the last) that he's somehow just taken for granted. Oh well - who ever said life was fair? Anyway - congratulations once again, Andy - you pretty much own your corner of the mediasphere. Wait - do spheres even HAVE corners?
Love the Easton vibe at the end. Nailed it.
Great Starship Trooper. I think I'll buy the pedal just for that sound! Fantastic playing!
Because of this demo I dusted off my Yes Album copy. Thanks so much for that ;)
andy is such a good guitarist. he looks like a funny cool dude though, so a comedian. hail andy and his thorough reviews.
That Starship Trooper gives me goosebumps!
RIP Chris S...
So glad I clicked on this...thanks for that classic Yes tune!
Out of this world... I'm still coming to grips with how this pedal made a flawless Starship Trooper
That Wah slap back section sold me. I just watched this demo twice in a row...just to hear Andy's playing on it.
'You're all I've got Tonight' was my favorite part
Great demo. I’m sold!
That wide stereo mode is beautiful with headphones
freaking awesome playing bud!!!
Love the YES! So nice to hear the part by itself. I missed the five bars you cut out before "speak to me of summer" but it was just a vamp so I understand. ha ha. I will now attempt to
figure out what you just did. thanks!
Diggin' the Trooper. Spot on, every lick! Steve H. is very proud.
Andy's the sh*t. To pull that old Yes song out.....nice.
Thats what i like on pgs demos,it starts directly!
Best reviews to me. Great playing, little talking, good demonstration of pedal funcionalities, no unboxing and best of all.... no stupid shredding. Most videos online the player is more interested in showing himself than demonstrate the pedal.
I came for the pedal and stayed for the Yes cover. Brilliant! 🙏
Starship Trooper yahoo!!! I love that song!!!❤️
everyone's talking about Yes but my mind is blown by The Cars
I'm with you. That was a kick ass version of 'You're All I've Got..'
Haven't heard that Ain't Superstition in a long time. Nice Job Andy!
Hey man....your pedal demos are really cool.
Starship trooper was SO COOL I wasnt expecting ... that I didnt care that much on the pedal ..lol. Very nice playing my friend oh and a very good pedal!
Awesome Demo as usual
Great job Andy! Oh yes cool pedal 2 !🤣🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾✊🏾
Superb Andy Virtuosity !!!
Well done, Andy!
Andy you do the best pedal demos on UA-cam, damn
Thanks so much! This one is definitely one of my favorites, the pedal just did exactly what I hoped. Hope to see you around my channel as well.🤘
This pedal is fantastic! It also does a killer version of Queens "Keep Yourself Alive"
Andy has to be one of THE most Talented guitar player on UA-cam,hands down!.
I still listen to that old Yes song, its still fresh for me.
Thanks now I'm gonna have to go on yet another Yes freak out bender. Looks like I'm be listening to Tales of Topographic Oceans tonight.
Intro Song....! AMAZING THE CONVERGANCE OF HIGH SKILLSET AND FEEEEEEEELLLL !!!!!!!!! GREAT EXPRESSION ANDY ; 0
you know, with that intro I'm always so impressed with the sound and the tone that that I forget to ask: "Where the Hell did you guys get the awesome backing track that he's playing over here?"
Andy knows how to pick covers, and what a dead on version of 'You're all I've Got Tonight'!
You're All I've Got Tonight! Awesome. There must be a song you don't know somewhere, but I haven't found it.
Kudos for using Yes' Starship Trooper to demo the pedal!!
Thanks, that was one of my favorite covers used in a demo! I thought the pedal fit the bill perfectly.
Andy
Starship Trooper is so freakin cool.
this pedal is awesome. dat tones, man...
I was not expecting Starship Trooper in the beginning. Classy choice.
FUCK YEAH, STARSHIP TROOPER!!!!
Great demo Andy.
Great. one of your best
Just when I thought, "Man, what is left for Andy to do? The great licks demoes are getting old," this demo comes along! Shazam! This is just incredible!
And lest I forget to say it : Starship Trooper... You NAILED it, Andy ! One of my all-time favorite guitar tracks.
Came for the pedal, stayed for Andy. That Starship Trooper was a treat!!
is this the first time Andy reviews a Strymon? Very cool.
That Jeff Beck was nuts!! Just killer.
Well played.
Amazing version of Starship Trooper ! Andy rules !
YES! Was one of those jaw dropping bands of the 70s! No question the best decade! Deco is okay, but I'll stick with my real EP3 and 4 channel EM1 echoplex. If they happen to get stolen on my I want to buy a Deco. Strymon makes fantastic pedals
I'm thoroughly convinced that if Jimi Hendrix were alive today he would be creating music we can't even conceive of, using Strymon pedals ! They're that inspirational !
Jaw hit the ground with the cover of You're All I've Got Tonight 👍
Best intro ever....rockin the Yes
Not just Yes...I can hear some great Nektar tones in there!
Christ Andy! You're such a badass!
YOU'RE THE COOLEST FOR THIS ONE.
Tape flange has been so hard to get! Nice Jeff Beck!!.
You had me six years ago with tones from “Ain’t superstitious”!!!!!!
I think Andy might actually be my favorite guitar player.
oMG yes! for opening ? really oh man ,.ok i ll buy that damn thing damn man ....you are crazy to do that in the best way possible
I can't wait to pick mine up
This pedal is great. If you like me love anything 60-90s this just does so many sounds let alone using it for your own stuff. I absolute love the magnectic doubling with some saturation. Just adds a little modulation without overdoing it. Haven't even tried the stereo bouncing yet.
YES! you earn big points for that
This kicks ass
Yes, Beck and Cars....wow....just wow.
