Strymon released the Olivera guitar pedal on Tuesday, emulating the Tel-Ray oil can echo units from 1959. The original devices created delay by writing static charges to rotating disks housed in oil-filled cans, producing darker and continuously modulated repeats compared with tape-based effects. The company developed a new algorithm after researching the vintage design's variables to achieve authentic emulation.
The pedal features true stereo processing for independent left and right channel handling, and MIDI connectivity through quarter-inch TRS or USB-C ports enables patch recall and continuous controller management. Strymon equipped the unit with Class-A JFET input circuitry and housed the components in a durable enclosure. The Olivera costs 259.99 pounds.
