Say hello to the Strymon Ola, a digital Chorus / Vibrato stompbox that sounds like several museum-quality vintage analog effects in one box. How "analog" does this digital stomp actually sound? Well, you could stop reading and watch the video demonstration, but you can also be apprised of Strymon's dBucket virtual bucket-brigade algorithm. Powered by the Ola's SHARC floating-point DSP — basically the guitar-effect equivalent of a super-computer you can step on — this is one digital chorus effect that might just trump any boutique analog competitor.

The Strymon Ola features two chorus modes and a vibrato mode, and three play modes, including a unique envelope sensitivity mode that increases or decreases the intensity of the effect based on your playing dynamics. There's also a neat ramp mode, true-bypass switching, 24/96 AD-DA conversion, a fully analog summing backend, stereo ins and outs, tons of editable parameters. . . man, just check out the video already.
