They couldn’t have chosen someone else better than you to showcase and expound on this pedal. Absolute banger Mark. Seems like it could be a fun pedal to pair with a Lore.
I have the Lore .. Magical pedal.. However I only put a very subtle no decay stereo pedal on after it to enhance to stereo and to keep it as true as possible..
@@patrickr6505 I do as well and yes it is. This pedal though could definitely fill that stereo position given the echo and how subtle it could be. The adjutability it has could really help dial in some cool textures too I think.
The broad stokes of both are very similar for sure. The main difference would be a difference in the way they seek to emulate vintage tape machines; the way the delay feeds the read and write heads is different than the timing and spacing on the volant and this gets to a more broken and degraded tape quality than the Volante which, at it's most "worn" doesnt really impart much in the way of imperfection, imo.
@@markjohnstonofficial interesting. One aspect of the Volante I really appreciate are the separate record and playback heads. That opens a lot of possibilities. Still, this looks and sounds like an amazing pedal. Great demo, as usual. Thanks.
Very nice video 👍🏼 Forgive my ignorance, but is it an absolute sin to demo without several expensive pedals beforehand, or are those disengaged after the intro? For better or worse, I’d be curious to hear the pedal ‘raw’ just for a minute, or would it just sound terrible?🫨
1. Plenty of other channel are using it in the context you describe 2. Most people, especially the audience that watches my channel, are going to use their gear in a larger pedalboard context. I am demoing gear the way it’s likely to actually be used in a day to day environment.

@@ayjbray For sure.. Variety is the spice of life lol..
@@patrickr6505 The FMN artwork could look pretty sweet with it too if you had the Kamakura edition Lore.
Man your intros just get better and better. This one was probably top 5 I've heard on here. Great stuff.
The Tele just hits like that
New viewer here! These videos are incredibly high quality and listenable, even like a podcast. I'm definitely looking forward to more
This is a lot like the Strymon Volante, which I own and love.
Level controls for each head is a really cool feature.
Sounds amazing.

lol at 28:00 it sounds like royalty free business marketing music hahaha
Great choices throughout! Perfect representation of Forget Me Not.
Love the Graphic design for this , looking sweet next ti the mood
Alexander can be pretty hit and miss with their graphics but I do quite like the vintage coolness of the flowers here.
What a beauty of a pedal, and you point out the sonical beauty. Great job, Mark! 👍👍👏👏
Dude, I love your style and work.
Keep rocking the great videos.
That tone in the intro ❤
That Tele is getting some use!!
'52 RI tele that weighs a million pounds. Its one of the best guitars I own and I just sometimes go through phases where I forget that.
Is that an American Vintage II? Sounds great
Nah it predates most of the current Fender model naming conventions. It's an American '52 RI I bought for $700 back in... roughly 2009/2010
It's so thin sounding for a tape style delay, is that just in the choice of pups/micing?
That pedal is so pretty. I kinda want it just to look@ it
very similiar to a true stereo version of the volante
I still say the telecaster is Mark’s spirit guitar.
You're likely correct. Most of my best songs on this channel are likely to be either Tele jams or my bunting which has tele electronics anyways.
While not a direct apples to apples, would be curious how this compares against the volante
Well, it’s a sine of the times.
That Dry Tone sounds woefully thin.
Love the artwork,,$400 is a bit steep for another delay.😢
Cheaper than the Volante which is its closest competitor.
@@louderthangod i love the sound and the artwork, beautiful seeming device
Great review but not seeing or hearing anything new or particularly interesting. Sounds so thin and digi. I’d prefer a Volante with a reverb after it.
His clean tone with the Tele was thin to begin with.
400 clams. Consider it forgotten.
