Create instant retrofuture atmosphere with evocative vintage delay tones. Activate your imagination with evolving ambient echoes and warm, organic feedback with just the right amount of grit. Sculpt your soundscape in real time as Volante becomes an extension and expansion of your musical instrument. Infuse your pedalboard with stunning vintage vibes that resonate and inspire.
Three Magnetic Delay Types, Spring Reverb, Looper, and More.
Delivering truly exceptional sound quality and intuitive playability, Volante is designed to radically enhance the sonic expressiveness of your pedalboard. Featuring magnetic drum echo, tape echo, and reel-to-reel studio echo, Volante is a stereo multi-head delay that also offers a looper and vintage spring reverb, with powerful sound-sculpting controls for limitless sonic possibilities.
I ended up getting this pedal. It's a beast of magnetic bliss, I can't imagine my board without it. Killer videos like this sold me on it. I love the way Mike makes the repeats just die out slow for close observation. I paired my Volante with a Silver Lake reverb and my atmospheric ambience effects are just lovely. Blending them parallel with reverb 100% wet will be my next adventure. Likely build my own stereo mixer pedal for that trip.
Beautiful demo!
strymon Thanks so much! Means a lot coming from the mothership! Amazing pedal. Used it live last week. So user friendly and sounded amazing
@@popintothechemist Thank you!!
Pro tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Miles Ty Definitely, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
The most musical demo of the best delay pedal IMHO. I bet Strymon is happy to have Mike exploring the available tones they’ve built into the Volante, for us all to see & hear? MAGICAL !!
Getting this pedal for sure.
T. I. N Mateus haven’t stopped using it since I got it. I love it!!!
This is my favourite Volante overview demo to date - shows off all the best aspects of the pedal within a pretty concise timeframe
Stefan Karlsson Thanks so much! I love this pedal
This is more art than demo :-)
Thanx!
Well played... ah, the megneto wonder of an ECHO machine!
openup007 thanks for tuning in! It’s such an amazing pedal!!!
Mike Hermans .... would/could this replace the Timeline or do the each serve their own function?
openup007 I don’t think you could replace. Timeline is a mega Delay with a ton of different Delay types. This is based around a theme. Both are AMAZING...
Mike Hermans thanks for the feedback.
Always a fun ride ! Thanks man.
Oh my... “Strymon + Mike”
This will be “SPECTACULAR”!!!
(LUV your RUclips channel!!!)
This reminds me of “ECM records” somehow
William Roark much appreciated! Ha! I have a lot of favorite records on ECM. Thanks!
Great video as always!
Nick Casale Thanks!
Very good, Mike. Don't worry about the drums, they were fine.
Aaron Davis Thanks. The drums are are loops made by the incredible Nate Smith

Some awesome Jean Michel Jarre (Equinox) vibes going on when you raised the pitch. 👏
Fantastic demo Mike. 👍
Holy smokes, that's so cool! Fantastic playing, too
Belac Ickekl Thanks! Much appreciated
@@popintothechemist hey, is there a different name for that two rock amp you've been using lately? I can't seem to find anywhere to buy the sp50, but it sounds great! (Not saying it's in my budget tho haha)
Belac Ickekl SP stands for Studio Pro. I think they sell a new Studio Pro 35 now
@@popintothechemist thanks!
Great video, thank you! On a side note, whatever preamp/analog path they have utilized in the Volante - man - the guitar tone alone sounds great!
Michal Mikolaj Maslowski Thanks for watching! I had an Xotic Super Sweet Boost on... (just fattens the Strat up a bit)
@@popintothechemist Thanks for clarifying. I know from other video reviews that the analog path embedded in the Volante sounds superior. The Xotic Super Sweet - is that the latest from Xotic? How would you briefly compare it relative to, say, the EP Booster? Thanks. Love your videos!
Can Strymon do anything that doesn't blow my mind? It's bot a challenge ir anything but why did this brand go over my head all these years? I only learned about them after I spent way too much money on the gear I have now to go back! :(
Ikr? I've been playing music for decades but if you're floundering with the wrong equipment, it's no good. The equipment has to be an extention of me for me to be able to do anything powerful with it. This has that power, I can hear it.
Sound absolutely amazing. Nice work!
What’s your signal chain here? It appears to me that you’re getting a pretty strong delay mix ... u have a all-around/always on booster running into the volante?
Great pedal but crazy expensive in Australia. $700+
Coming on the heels of your Boonar demo, which do you prefer? The feature set of the Volante is obviously way more expansive, but a lot of people think the Boonar has the edge in authenticity of sound and that certain little magic.
If you need stereo or MIDI Boonar is not in the running and you probably couldn't tell the difference in quality in a blind test anyway.
Just chiming in late here to say that I had both for a bit, and to my surprise I kept the Strymon. I usually am not a big fan of their stuff, or at least what they tend to do to my tone. I always feel like I'm getting a fake tone. The Blue Sky was especially bad at that. So artificial sounding. At first, I really figured the volante was imparting that same digital over processing. But once I got it dialed in a little warmer, It was great. Meanwhile the boonar did what I feared the Strymon would. It definitely changed my tone dramatically. And even though the tape head bouncing sounded much better with the boonar, I just couldn't get over how different my tone got. The sound on sound thing of the volante is also pretty great. My favorite delay for a while was the TC flashback X4 because of its awesome looper. And the Strymon reminds me of that in how I would use it. I actually tend to use my old Ibanez AD80 more than anything now, but if I'm doing some recording with two or more amps, the Strymon us awesome in that application.
Very cool demo. But for me that's feature paralysis. “If you give somebody constraints, it's easier to be creative. 'The enemy of art is the absence of limitation." Orson Wells
I would agree but to me this is localized design. I would have feature paralysis with the Timeline, DD-500 or the DD-200 even. This has the sound that captivates me and it doesn't go off that spectrum imo, so it works for me. It's all in how you construct the framework of your music. I build structures so that helps to shape my way of approaching things. Just giving my 2 cents. Happy new year.
Can you darken the repeats? Amazing demo BTW
Yes. You turn up the wear knob.
Brandon J Guitarist 001 oh ok cool just bought a TL so it might replace my DD500 will see
Mike, what equipment or software do you use for recording?
Just me by i would recommend a Zoom R24, an Aeros looper as an extra.
is there drum tracks on that pedal there isa drum knob
That is the setting for the drum echo type. Not drums. Look up echorec history and you'll figure it out. It was a delay that operated with a spinning drum instead of tape
Looked like you were setting two different times for separate heads, is that correct?
He was panning them, one left, one right.
Is it possible to turn the pedal in mono?
Ok it's kinda cool. I'm fine with my Boss DD-3.
Is it panning on its own?
Does it do true ping pong or just dotted eighth?

Good Demo, but still can ´t see what people like about Strymon, this thing is even not close to the devise from it was inspired, same digital noisy sound of all Strymon stuff, really not for me.
I prefer Pigtronix digital delays or Korg when it comes to deal with complicated things. at least they don ´t try to emulate and in the way they get a much better sound IMHO than this
why the drum track you make great videos but this is a demo not a music track for a song or advert etc..
peter liolis Thanks for the feedback. After the song there is 10 minutes drum free. Thanks
It's nice to hear how an effect makes your guitar sound IN A MIX
Unless you're just recording solo guitar, I suppose....
@@popintothechemist Great, thanks Mike ,I also think delay and reverb color the sound Snobel uses just enough others drown the demo,Pinstripe demos some very old fuzz pedals and new clones by boutique companies and you get the annoying tuka tuk tuka tuk hey its a vintage fuzz lets hear it. Thank you and keep making the great videos Mike.
