NEXT GEN TAPE DELAY!! - Strymon Volante Review

[@jimmynorris]

That intro was just amazing. Tons of vibe and great playing aren’t often accomplished at the same time. Just wow.

[@Jaysteenn]

Thanks for explaining golden and silver ratio. I never heard anyone explain what that means.

[@TheTinMan123]

That intro wow

[@strymon]

Wonderful demo!

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Thanks guys!! Creating such incredibly inspiring products!

[@dodgedandle8311]

Great Great Demo , One of if not the best 👍🏻⭐️🌞

[@jeffburnham4582]

I’ve recently watched a lot of demos for the Volante and I think yours was a really helpful complement to them. Thank you for demoing the looper aspect in more depth. Beautiful playing as well. I’ll be watching more of your videos!!

[@KevenEknesMusic]

very kind Jeff! Thank you so much!

[@kurtyhearty]

Totally facinated by both the pedal and your playing!

[@KevenEknesMusic]

thanks so much!!

[@mediumshreddercheese]

Nice work man! Really fun to watch you play

[@NikolausBrocke]

Excellent playing. Excellent sound. Excellent demonstration and explanation. I saw your channel the first time. Definitely one of the best demos.

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Thank you so much so the kind words my friend!! Really appreciate it!

[@harrisfrankou2368]

beautiful playing you made me decide, best Volante review ever.

[@barrysebastian9584]

Beautiful demo, Keven. You covered a lot of ground. Minor11 chord for reverb demo - nice😉. A lot of pedals do tape machines nicely, but Strymon has the tone perfected. Four heads are better than one, hehe. Great feature set. Yours, and Pete Celi’s demos are the best out there for this pedal. Well done (you are getting good at doing these!).

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Hahahah right!!! I totally agree. You use the Brigadier is that correct? Appreciate the kind compliments, it's fun to do these, and learn a lot in the process!

[@kenster865]

I have to violently agree with Barry. You've done a wonderful job of demo'ng the Volante. I discovered this bad boy a couple of months ago and bought one very recently. I haven't had it a week yet. There is SO much to learn about this thing. Until I found Kevin's demo, the best I've seen is Pete Celi's so we're in agreement there too. Nice job, Kevin, and you're a killer player too. Two thumbs up! 👍👍

[@markeldred7359]

Great demo and stellar playing, Keven!! Time to start saving...ha ha!🤙👏👏👏

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Hahahaha! Its 100% worth it imo.. Best delay I have ever used..

[@billyfreeze1893]

Great demo and excellent playing , you have a great gift

[@KevenEknesMusic]

thank you!

[@michalmikolajmaslowski3994]

As always, fabulous job, Keven! This pedal is the thing!

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Thank you Michal!! did you try them out yet!? I am REALLY digging the vibe you get from it..

[@michalmikolajmaslowski3994]

@@KevenEknesMusic Man, I did, but I have to say I was really pounding myself in the gut about it, as another delay I pedal was the last thing that I needed, given that I am a hobbyist rather than a musician. Having said that, man, ZERO regrets. The Volante is INSANELY good, as well as straightforward to use. It's like in a different league. As always, great & informational video, Keven. Love your work!

[@billharris7698]

Great demo and awesome playing.

[@_Nony__]

The lick at 0:35 made me go mad. So damn awesome :D

[@KevenEknesMusic]

[@dejanostojic5496]

Bravo,nice🙃

[@uwelange2652]

Very good review!!! I have the El Capistan and the Timeline and I think i must have this too. What pickup's do you have in your Strandberg? I thought they have Suhr PU's.

[@protocosm]

So the hold does not work as a Freeze pedal?

[@mattytrane]

Isn't she lovely at the end :)

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Yes!!! Such a legendary tune!

[@greekplayback]

Are you recording direct to sound card ? What preamp you are using ?

[@KevenEknesMusic]

yes!! No preamps involved outside the drive pedal (LPD 87).

[@greekplayback]

@@KevenEknesMusic Thanks, What preamp you recommand for direct clean recording ?

[@3dsman]

9:14 - Is that "Us And Them" intro chords?

[@KevenEknesMusic]

I have not heard that song, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were used somewhere else, super simple sus voicings I always use!

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

The mechanics knob is *not* wow and flutter, Nor does this function even sound remotely close to wow and flutter. The volante manual also does not state that mechanics is wow and flutter. They are very different things producing different drives sounds

[@hoover728]

‘Controls the amount of including: friction, creases, splices, and contaminants.’ How does that not include wow & flutter? At any rate, at 6:33 he refers to the Mechanics knob as introducing wow & flutter. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaGoYYeomt6XkNU

[@hoover728]

From the Volante FAQ: tape - Wow and flutter is applied as the MECHANICS knob is turned up. Tape crinkle is added as you turn past the 12 o’clock noon position.

[@harriheinsoo]

sooo much noodles. 🤢

[@hakajak]

My DD-7 can do everything this can

[@KevenEknesMusic]

Very different units!! Each got it’s own good sides :)

[@hoover728]

Your DD-7 has: -4 heads that can be chosen in many configurations including which heads feedback? -extensive control over the tonality and modulation of every mode? -midi capability? -an analog preamp with adjustable gain? -8 presets? -degenerating looper that can go into reverse and change speeds?
