  • Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedalshowstore.com
    Life too short for long RUclips videos? See the ’Interesting bits and go-to sections’ timings below.
    In this video we welcome perhaps the most anticipated pedal of 2019: the Strymon Volante. Strymon of course has enjoyed phenomenal success with its delay pedals to date, particularly the genre-defining TimeLine and much-loved El Capistan.
    The Volante adds a whole new voice to Strymon’s echo choir, namely the vintage, multi-head drum echo sound made famous by the Binson Echorec. It also does multi-head tape and studio tape delays too. Matters arising…
    • Does it sound like those old units? We have a couple for a quick comparison.
    • What about the best of the modern, pedal format versions of those effects? We pick two for comparison.
    • Should I replace my TimeLine or El Capistan?
    • And what else does it do?
    Please note: There have been many, many different kinds of tape and drum echoes over the years, and they pretty much all sound different, not least with the passage of time / different states of repair etc etc etc. With that in mind, we picked two such beasts that we had at our disposal, so please don’t be posting comments moaning about why we didn’t compare it with this, that or the other. Please.
    We hope you enjoy this episode…

    Can I just say that Dan doesn’t get enough credit as an absolutely KILLER player! That intro was ridiculously good🤤

      More agree. Love your playing Dan! Interestingly, never seen Dan live, or play much outside of TPS, but his "best playing" I've heard is random NAMM snippets. //Insert philosophical musings about inspiration and self-consciousness.//

    • @emdblues
      @emdblues 5 лет назад +1

      yeah, Dan is much more musical than Mick. Mick's playing is probably closer to my style but I like hearing Dan more. :)

  • @SebastianFalvoMusic

    Today, we all witnessed the incredible sense of Harmony and melodic development that Dan is capable of when he's truly inspired...mental.

    @vncstudio Год назад +8

    The Golden Ratio is basically setting your delay times in a Fibonacci series. Each succeeding time is 1.618 times the previous one. This creates a smooth reverb like effect. I've tried this on my Lexicon PCM 81 with 6 delay lines and it works very well.

      We asked a waitress at Hooters once (no lie) how many ounces were in their pitchers...and she looked at us like we were nuts and said...”we don’t put ounces in our pitchers. We put beer”. OMG I lol every time I think about that. (10+ yrs ago).

    The intro was amazing! This is a particularly special episode for me. I started watching That Pedal Show over a year ago, starting with the delay pedal episodes. I had fell in love with the Strymon Timeline and was learning more from Mick and Dan. What happened was I was inspired to pick up and learn to play guitar. Now it's officially been one year since I did so, and here's a Strymon delay that's just gorgeous and brings it full circle. Cheers!

  • @ralvknights
    @ralvknights 5 лет назад +2

    Incredible intro with lots of magic tones around the notes and superb feeling on Dan´s playing. Long live That Pedal Show!

  • @darrenc8776
    @darrenc8776 5 лет назад +3

    I just watched the TPS Namm vlog. Awesome guys. But I'm convinced that the reason there's so much new and exciting gear coming out this year is because of you guys. The pedal is king and you guys have put him him there.

  • @chrismundayguitar

    This is one of my favorite TPS videos, both because of the incredible pedals and (especially) the inspired performances. Great job!

    @Michael_Is_Avg 5 лет назад +1

    What a glorious video (and especially that introduction). I had a crazy drive on my way to work, and uttered many a foul word, but I got this video started in the background as I began sorting out my emails for the day and it took me to a blissful happy place.
    Well done gents, you might have just saved my sanity on this fine Friday. Cheers from across the pond and have a great weekend!

  • @khai_nomore8613
    @khai_nomore8613 5 лет назад +1

    Superb play on the proper tape echo delay. They got it spot on. The dials switches and buttons are laid out simply and clear for the corresponding effects. I am blown. It took me ages to get anywhere near the sounds on my current delay pedal.

  • @davidnuzzaci2459
    @davidnuzzaci2459 4 года назад +2

    and thank you, you two... having this on whilst I muster myself slowly into the day.... filling my living room with your excellent vibes. Clearly you were both enthused ... crescendoing at the end with stereo eargasms.
    Warm.

    Sound on sound also...
    Come on.....
    Beautiful.

    The FEEL of the playing in this video! This is why I play electric guitar. Dan, Mick, you inspire me in so many ways. Pedals shmedals... it ain’t about the gadgets. Thank you for sharing yourselves. That is the heart of the matter, is it not? Heading over to Patreon... Cheers

  • @johnmarquez333
    @johnmarquez333 5 лет назад +2

    I know I already commented on the sound on sound portion at the end of this video, but I had to say more. One of the reasons I love you guys so much is the joy and love for playing the guitar that you bring to these videos. I've watched the sound on sound part over and over and over - where Mick hits the pause button and Dan laughs gleefully. Not only does that pause effect sound wicked, but Dan's reaction to it makes me laugh every time. Whenever I'm having a bad day or feeling a bit down, I'll watch that part again and it will make me happy. Thank you so much, guys!

  • @bigschnoz
    @bigschnoz 5 лет назад

    The Volante looked great when I ordered one from Capt Lee a month ago, the more I see of it the more desperate I am for its arrival. Fantastic review and some stunning tones. Dan is so in the groove with ambient tones like these. Great show guys.

  • @AlbusBand
    @AlbusBand 5 лет назад +1

    The Space Echo is still my all-time favorite, but what this did for me was confirm that the volante can be an absolute BEAST for boards & performances everywhere. Thank you two soo much for this; LOVED it!!!

    @mattgilbert7347 5 лет назад +3

    Some of the moments with the Echorec Baby & Mick's Strat. it really did sound like 1972 at Abbey Road, DSOTM sessions. Kinda spooky and wonderful. Dan's intro was beautifully phrased, just *insert superlative here* . Bravo.

    My favourite thing about receiving my new custom iem’s wasn’t listening to my music but listening to this video, glorious through Jerry Harvey Roxanne’s. My experience of TPS has instantly transformed.
    It’s a y’s so much about the care you put in to recording that it sounds so so good!
    Also thanks for introducing me to Joey Landreth!
    More slide specific and lap steel specific content would be incredible, maybe get Robert Randolph in?
    Cheers, keep it up,

  • @ridesingletrack
    @ridesingletrack 5 лет назад

    One of my favorite things about TPS is when Dan explores atypical rhythms or speeds from a delay. Your creativity and ability to draw something out of them is really inspiring. Loved the whole episode, but that intro was just awesome!

  • @simonhirstofficial
    @simonhirstofficial 5 лет назад +3

    Amazing how with so many of these classic FX they just got them "right" in the beginning. Vintage fuzz's, OD's, echos, mods. Albeit often in far more impractical sizes/shapes/reliability issues, but we're still chasing those tones. And whilst there are some immensely impressive versions, the old ones are still the benchmark! At least to my ears anyway.
    Great show!

    @evanmiller2579 5 лет назад +2

    Great show as always. Listened to most of it via podcast on my way to a gig here in Wisconsin. Really appreciate you broaching the subject of the other Strymon delays. I have the El Capistan and DIG on my board currently. They sound great just as this new one does. As I have commented before however, all the variations of flutter, warble, and head selections sound epic at home, but once the band kicks in, all you really hear is what dirt pedal you are using. For me P90s into the D&M Drive carries me away. Thanks again guys.

  • @apolloguitars

    Been using the Dawner Prince Boonar for about a year, and absolutely love it! I’ve been thinking about getting a Belle Epoch Deluxe, as I don’t have an Echoplex style pedal... but I think the Volante is the direction I’m going to head.
    I’m enamored with the Echorec tone, but the Space Echo tape delay is awesome- and add to that all the other features, it seems like a perfect choice.
    One thing I’m excited to try is- using the Chase Tone Secret Preamp in front of it, as I find it to be the most incredible EP3 style preamp that I’ve heard... could be magic!
    Thanks again for the insight and great introduction to a truly epic piece of kit!
    I do think I’ll lose a few days though, noodling with the sound on sound feature! Sounded amazing!

      Yep so would we - just been comparing a very early 201 with the same magic preamps as Dan and Micks, with a very late production machine. Also add in an RE-200 and you've got three different vibes on the 201 theme

      201, 301, 555 … compare them all. Plus some different Echoplexes, a Copicat, an Echolette … And a TTE and SSTE. Now, that would be a deep dive …

    The "Gold Ratio" on the Volante refers to a ratio of the distance of the head spacing in which the repeats would not overlap each other as the repeat to infinity, with a bias toward head #1. If you turn up the repeats, you will hear the first few repeats, and then the repeats begin to sound a bit like a washy reverb. The Golden Ratio setting was first implemented by Strymon on their DIG digital delay emulation pedal.
    The "Silver Ratio" is the same concept, but with a bias toward the 4th head.

      Many people don’t know that golden and silver ratio are mathematical concepts. I cringe every time someone says it about some device or pedal. 😅

      @@CliffKantin that way, it’s nice that people who might not otherwise knowingly cross paths with the concept of the Golden Ratio get to run into it on their journey through the best activity on the planet (messing around with guitar pedals of course)

    Got mine yesterday and literally only had time to put it on my board and head off to my gig. So my first impressions of the Volante were truly trial by fire. I love it. It's the delay pedal I've been waiting years for. And to me, the spring reverb sounds really good, of course it's not a big sky or blue sky, but it sounds better than the reverb pedal I was previously using, so the Volante replaced three pedals on my board and elevated my sound. I love it. The end.

    I've had the Volante for about two weeks and I can't give it higher praises. My favorite setting is very close to the RE-201 sound you guys were trying to recreate. The best way to get that sound is to have heads 2 and 3 engaged with even spacing

    • @ericpeters0n
      @ericpeters0n Год назад +1

      Just watched this... When they did the A/B, I was SHOUTING "Turn off the first head!!!".... That immediate slapback of the first just killed the clarity of the delays vs the RE201, and was obviously a different delay pattern.

  • @martinyip65
    @martinyip65 5 лет назад +3

    Very tasty playing from Dan. The Golden ratio setting refers to the the interval between the repeats such that the subsequent notes do not occur at the same time (or at least not until a very large number of repeats have occurred ) thus giving a wash of subsequent notes with no discernible 'pulse' or tempo. Supposedly plants stack their branches moving up the stem accordingly to avoid too much overlap and thereby maximising sunlight capture for photosynthesis.
    Apologies if that is just too geeky .

  • @johnmarquez333
    @johnmarquez333 5 лет назад +1

    Well. This MORE than makes up for the two transistor amp episodes! (Sorry. Couldn't resist.) On its own merits, this is my favorite episode you guys have done in quite a while, and that's saying a lot. My GAS has been dormant lately, and when I first heard about the Volante I was only mildly interested, but this video has me seriously wanting it. The sound on sound bit was magical and the burst of pure, childlike joy from Dan when Mick hit the pause button was priceless!

    Fantastic video mates! Just ordered mine and dispensing with my other delays. I'm going to be a johnny knowitall and remind you that in mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship. Expresed algebraically, for quantities a and b with a > b > 0,
    a + b a = a b = def φ , Dan - that was the best intro you have ever done, I do believe.

    Sold my El capistan, bought the Volante. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
    The sound on sound is definitely one of my favorite features, was playing with it last week and it was just amazing.
    Compared to the Binson and Space echo in the video, I think the Volante gets more than close enough, and packs in a ton of extra things no other pedal can do. Especially regarding the stereo stuff with the feedback heads.

    This is utterly MAGNIFICENT! A stunning episode of an amazing show. And, i think i have a better question... Gents, take a long look in the (rear view/wing) mirror and ask yourselves this: Isn't the big picture that echo/delay/reverb is really the only pedal that matters, the one pedal to rule them all? All that other stuff wah, drive, chorus 🙄etc is just there to support the Queen of Effects. The D&M is a stunning o'drive but listen at approx 1.05.45 when Mick switches off the delay. If you want drive, just turn the amp up. 🦉🦉🤷🏼‍♂️🦉

    Have been messing about with the BED and Boonar since getting them both on the board. The BED is pure absolute magic as seems to be common knowledge, but I have been completely impressed with how inspiring the Boonar is.
    I think what is key with the Boonar is getting the internal gain setting matched to your signal, and I think the "original" setting is far far superior to the "modern" setting. It breathes a lot better. There are so many nuanced interesting sounds inside the Boonar, it has exceeded my relatively high expectations.
