{"product_id":"s_17","title":"Strymon La Brea Analog Tape Drive Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eTape-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48963930456182,"sku":"109366","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/5742\/3222\/files\/img_dfcb5762c204.png?v=1791307285","url":"https:\/\/www.georgesmusic.com\/products\/s_17","provider":"George's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
