Strymon Volante Magnetic Echo Machine Pedal

Strymon Volante Magnetic Echo Machine PedalIn Brief: Analog-style Digital Delay Pedal with 3 Echo Types, 4 Playback Heads, Looper, and Spring Reverb.  

The Strymon Volante is a versatile delay pedal that emulates analog-style echoes, offering magnetic drum echo, tape echo, and reel-to-reel studio echo sounds. It operates as a stereo multi-head delay with an integrated looper and vintage spring reverb. The pedal allows for extensive customization of the vintage vibe, including saturation, soft clipping, and adjustments to mechanics, wear, head spacing, and machine speed. Complete control over parameters is possible via MIDI, and up to 300 presets can be stored. The expression pedal enables maximum emotional expression, and the pedal is suitable for both pedalboards and studio setups with instrument/line-level capabilities. Volante features three vintage echo machine settings: Drum for magnetic drum echo, Tape for multi-head tape echoes with saturation, and Studio for a clean, pristine reel-to-reel sound. It includes four playback heads with individual controls for volume, feedback circuit inclusion, and panning, allowing for complex rhythmic patterns and stereo effects. The pedal supports loop creation with degradation and reverse play, offering unique and evolving sonic possibilities. Variable head spacing, replicating the quirks of vintage tape machines, is adjustable in real-time. Additionally, Volante includes an independent spring reverb for adding dimension and a vintage character to the delayed signals. With tap tempo, 24-bit/96kHz sound quality, and selectable true bypass/analog buffered bypass switching, the Strymon Volante is a feature-packed delay pedal suitable for a wide range of creative applications.
