Ahead of the 2018 NAMM Show, effects maker Strymon has introduced Magneto, an audio effects module for Eurorack modular synthesizers that they say is designed for ‘expansive soundscapes and evolving, otherworldly tones’.

Magneto is a stereo multi-head tape delay that also functions as a looper, phrase sampler, vintage spring reverb unit, phase-aligned clock multiplier, chaotic oscillator, zero latency sub-oscillator and more, with extensive CV I/O.

Here’s a playlist of videos about the Strymon Magneto:

Features:

Tape-voiced delay machine with four playback heads and one record head

Processor-intense dTape algorithm delivers meticulously nuanced recreations of vintage tape echo systems

Three operational modes: Echo, Sound On Sound Looper, Phrase Sampler

Varispeed algorithm with dynamic machine mechanics, 8:1 speed range

Input record level for clean reproduction to warm, fat saturation

Self-oscillating for tone generation

Independent Spring Reverb Pricing and Availability

The Strymon Magneto is available to pre-order now for US $599.

Note: Strymon originally introduced a tape delay Euro module in 2016, the Generalissimo, but did not release it.
