Strymon DIG Dual Digital Delay

The Strymon DIG Dual Digital Delay is a delay pedal built around two independent digital delays, each with its own mix and character, plus three converter resolution settings that change how the repeats sound. Premier Guitar's reviewer summed it up as "Clean, lush, and expansive delays for days," and added that it "could easily substitute for a more expensive studio rack"¹.

Two delays, three voicings

The DIG carries two delays at once, and Premier Guitar's reviewer found that "Two delays and sensitive, rangeful dials mean a ton of control over complex textures and sounds that go beyond simple delay"¹. Each delay can be set to one of three resolution types, and the choice shapes the tone more than anything else on the pedal:

Premier Guitar's reviewer called the three resolution settings "powerful for shaping echo characteristics"¹. Modulation depth also affects the delay character per part, described as light, mild or deep; Strymon's demo notes that the 12-bit delay with deep modulation softens the sharp nature of a synth patch².

Subdivisions and the Repeats controls

Each delay offers note-synced subdivisions. Premier Guitar lists "Triplet, eighth, dotted-eighth, and dotted-quarter settings," which the reviewer said "enable intriguing rhythmic complexities"¹. Strymon's own demo material also uses a Golden Ratio subdivision and a Dotted Eighth subdivision on individual delays².

Two controls shape the repeats themselves:

• Repeats Filter: removes low end or high end from the delay repeats. In Strymon's demo, Ethan Tufts dials it to about 2:00, "which removes a bit of the low end from the delay"².
• Repeats: set very high, it pushes the delay toward ambience. Tufts: "The Golden Ratio subdivision along with a very high Repeats setting give this delay a distinctly reverb-like quality"².

Stereo and delay configurations

The DIG runs in stereo. Guitar World describes it running "Delay 1 in the left channel and Delay 2 in the right channel" in a Parallel configuration³. The delay configuration is a secondary function under the Mix 2 knob: press and hold both footswitches while turning the knob, with left for Series, center for Ping Pong and right for Parallel². The pedal has two footswitches, which can be pressed and held together for these secondary functions².

Delay 2 can also be used on its own. In Strymon's demo song, Tufts plays a part where "I'm only using Delay 2, which is set to a Dotted Eighth subdivision"². He notes that the only effect used on the guitars and synths in that song, other than a tube preamp, is the DIG².

What reviewers said

Premier Guitar's reviewer tested the DIG with a Fender Telecaster Deluxe, Fender Stratocaster and Martin 00-15 through Fender Champ and Fender Bassman amps, and came away with the verdict quoted above: clean, lush, expansive delays, with the 12-bit voicing earning a specific note of praise for its warm, almost analog- or plate-like grain¹. Guitar World included the DIG in a feature on pedals that nail 80s guitar tones, listing it at $199³.

Where it sits in Strymon's delay line

The DIG is one of several delay pedals from Strymon, alongside the El Capistan dTape Echo, the Brigadier dBucket Delay, the Volante Magnetic Echo Machine and the TimeLine, which in 2026 was succeeded by the TimeLine MX Multi Delay. The DIG's distinguishing feature among them is the pair of independent digital delays with selectable converter voicings. For more on the category, see the site's Delay Pedals page.
