July 11, 2022 · 2 sources

Strymon released V2 versions of six of its compact, two-footswitch pedals on July 11, 2022: the blueSky, El Capistan, Flint, Deco, DIG and Lex¹². Premier Guitar describes them as "updated versions of some of Strymon's most popular models"².

Each pedal now has six knobs, two toggles and two footswitches, replacing the original layout's fewer controls and secondary knob functions¹. The new versions add full MIDI implementation with control over all parameters and onboard storage for up to 300 presets, a TRS MIDI jack for bidirectional MIDI communication, and a USB-C connection for firmware updates and MIDI communication¹². The knobs also send MIDI out, so a pedal can control virtual faders or knobs in a DAW¹.

Hardware changes include full stereo inputs and outputs with a rear-panel Mono/Stereo switch, an all-analog JFET input circuit, MIDI clock sync, and a new ARM processor that Premier Guitar reports has more power and consumes less energy than previous versions¹². The user interface on each pedal was also revised².

Prices are $379.00 US for the DIG, Deco, El Capistan and blueSky, and $349.00 for the Lex and Flint². The pedals are available directly from Strymon and a select group of dealers worldwide²; Delicious Audio reported all six in stock and ready to ship¹.
