Strymon is an American music electronics company based in Westlake Village, California, founded by Pete Celi, Gregg Stock, and Dave Fruehling — three engineers who previously worked together at Line 6 and Alesis. The company began as Damage Control Engineering in 2004, releasing tube-driven effects pedals under that name, before relaunching under the Strymon brand in 2009 with the OB.1 compressor pedal. All Strymon products are designed and built in Southern California.

The company is best known for a line of high-end guitar effects pedals that combine all-analog JFET signal paths with powerful digital signal processing. Their catalog spans reverb, delay, modulation, tremolo, overdrive, compression, and amp modeling. Flagship products include the BigSky multi-reverb pedal, the TimeLine delay, the Mobius modulation pedal, the El Capistan tape echo, the Flint tremolo and reverb unit, and the Volante magnetic echo machine. Strymon also produces the Zuma and Ojai series of pedal power supplies, Eurorack modules, and software plugins including digital versions of their most popular hardware units.

Strymon occupies a premium tier within the effects pedal market, with their reverb and delay units in particular becoming near-ubiquitous on professional pedalboards. The BigSky and TimeLine are frequently cited as benchmarks for their respective effect categories, appreciated for their depth of programmability alongside genuine playability. The brand has a devoted following among guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists, and their products appear regularly in professional studio and live settings worldwide.

Strymon has 58 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Delay Effects Pedals, Effects Pedal Accessories, and Reverb Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 1077 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Jessy Caron, Rhett Shull, and John Osborne. Most Strymon products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
