Strymon

I'll have other things.

It's not replacing a Strymon, if that's what you want.

It is its own sort of...

Dirty, gnarly, effecty box.

It's, I mean, you know, you know, we talked about like the, you know, and I even really push for it for gear of the year, like the Josh Homme PV.

It's, it's the exact same vibe of that small box, you know, distortion sound.

And it's like, is it, is it, again, is it going to replace your Strymon and, and all that? No, but yeah, Yeah,

I really like those.

And it's like, that's true.

The Strymon pedals are great sounding, reliable devices.

But just when one of the testimonials is like, I've stepped on this thing.

It's like, these are stompboxes.

Oh, my God.

Dan's going to get canceled.

Vemuran made at least one good pedal, and there's a Strymon commercial that is confusing to me.

Oh, no.

You need to be careful.

So somebody was able to plug a Strymon pedal in.

I have heard about this, yeah.

Basically, we're able to use Claude to reproduce that onto another piece of hardware entirely.

There are two choices.

The Strymon Iridium amp and IR cab

simulator.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Give me the options one more time.

So the first one is the Strymon Iridium.

Yes.

... question for you.

How- I've heard some people talk really, really highly of the Strymon NightSky because of the-

Yeah

... sequencer on it.

It's tough what you lead with because, like, I'm aware of that pedal, but I didn't know it had a sequencer.

Yeah.

And, and there's, like, an, there's a whole ocean out there of reverb pedals, and Strymon, of course, like, they're, they're a big name in the reverb space.

[laughs] Yeah.

That sounds great.

We got this Strymon.

It also kinda sounds like a Blues Driver.

Um, that's not true.

It's kinda nice.

[guitar plays]

That's a Strymon pedal I can handle, 'cause a lot of those, like the Timeline and those bigger ones-

Yeah

... pretty sick still

... well, you had mentioned the Strymon thing.

So Strymon came out with like what? The newest version of Ti-

The MX series

... of Timeline and-

Well, that was like-

...

when Strymon was gonna do something.

My understanding is that you both met your time at Line 6 originally.

Angelo, I think you had a longer sprint at Line 6, and Terry, you obviously created the Strymon brand and ended up having the guys from, I think, Damage Control Engineering launch their product line under the Strymon brand, and then, you know, you spent a few years there ultimately wanting to go a bit more of an autonomous route, launching Meris with your wife, Gina, who's the creative director, and sort of reconnecting with Angelo, where you met him originally, obviously, at Line 6.

Is that kind of a good quick summary?

Yeah, that's pretty, that's pretty much right.

Um, the Strymon thing was just me.

All the Damage Control key guys were from Line 6 too, and they moved on a little bit ahead of me, and then we teamed up together to do the Strymon brand after Gina and I had already kind of launched that by ourselves in the bedroom.

After that is when we, when I, when I bailed and asked Angelo to, to do Meris.

Were you both kind of good friends from Line 6, or was it just kind of a, a working relationship back then?

Yeah.

Um, Strymon has a new pedal.

Okay.

They have the...

Oh, it's already back ordered on Sweetwater.

199, that's not that expensive.

Yeah, so Strymon last year or earlier this year, they launched the A Series, which is analog.

Okay.
