The Strymon Olivera Vintage Oil Can Echo pedal is a masterful recreation of the rare and enigmatic oil can echo effects from the late 1950s. This pedal captures the dark, syrupy repeats and organic modulation that only an authentic oil can echo can produce, delivering a sound that is both nostalgic and uniquely inspiring. Whether you’re seeking subtle, modulated echoes or lush, sustaining textures reminiscent of classic spring reverbs, Olivera brings these vintage tones into the modern pedalboard with remarkable accuracy and versatility.

Unlike tape delays, the original oil can echoes used a rotating can filled with conductive oil to create their distinctive sound. This mechanical process produces echoes with a murky, rhythmic character that is impossible to replicate with conventional delay technologies. Strymon’s innovative algorithm and extensive research have enabled Olivera to faithfully emulate these sonic nuances, from the uneven decay of the repeats to the thick, evolving modulation that reacts dynamically to your playing.

Designed for today’s musicians, Olivera offers discrete stereo processing with independent left and right inputs, allowing you to sculpt your sound in stereo with ease. Its intuitive controls let you adjust delay time, mix, modulation rate and intensity, and regeneration to tailor the echo’s character. Additional features like MIDI control, delay spillover, and selectable bypass modes make Olivera a seamless addition to any rig, combining vintage charm with modern functionality.

For players who crave authentic vintage echo textures with the convenience and reliability of a modern pedal, the Strymon Olivera is an essential tool that brings the soulful sound of oil can echoes to life like never before.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Guitar Pedals

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.
