Strymon Magneto Four Head Tape Delay, Echo & Looper in Eurorack Format

Magneto brings the authentic warmth and character of vintage tape echo machines to your modular setup, functioning as a stereo multi-head tape delay with an impressive array of additional capabilities. This versatile module doubles as a looper, phrase sampler, vintage spring reverb unit, phase-aligned clock multiplier, chaotic oscillator, and zero latency sub-oscillator, all backed by extensive CV I/O connectivity. Simple monophonic signals become complex orchestrations, while self-oscillation opens up entirely new oscillator tones.

Every aspect of vintage tape echo systems has been meticulously studied and faithfully recreated in Magneto. The natural saturation and soft clipping characteristics of magnetic tape when driven hard are authentically reproduced, alongside hands-on real-time controls for tape age, tape crinkle, and mechanical wow and flutter. These features combine to create a rich multi-head delay that adds genuine life and vibe to your sound.

The module’s design ensures that every function, control, gain stage, and signal path component works together musically and smoothly, even during the most intense live modular performances. A luxurious spring reverb complements the tape delay section, taking your modular setup’s sound to new heights and pushing your sonic explorations into uncharted territory. Magneto turns even the most compact rack into a fully expressive and immersive instrument.
