Strymon La Brea Analog Tape Drive Pedal
$199.00
Tape-style saturation adds warmth, compression and harmonic complexity to a guitar signal, and the Strymon La Brea brings that response to a dedicated all-analog drive pedal. Inspired by the Saturation voice in Strymon's Deco, La Brea uses multi-stage analog circuitry to move from subtle harmonic thickening and compression to pushed breakup and full fuzz, with no digital processing in the signal path.
The Tape Saturation control covers a wide range, and the Gain switch sets how much of that range is on tap — so the same core circuit handles low-gain warmth, driven rhythm sounds and saturated lead tones. That makes La Brea equally useful as a subtle signal enhancer, a primary drive pedal, or a more aggressive source of textured analog gain.
The Shift switch offers two voicing options: a dedicated high-frequency boost, or a high-frequency boost with added midrange. These can add bite to darker rigs, reinforce the body of lead lines, or help saturated parts stay articulate in a mix. The variable Dry path blends your unaffected signal back in phase with the pedal's output, retaining clarity and punch as saturation increases.
La Brea operates internally at 24V to support ample headroom and a wide gain range, while accepting standard 9V DC center-negative power. True-bypass switching preserves the direct signal when the effect is disengaged, and mono 1/4" input and output connections support straightforward integration with common guitar rigs.
