I love this pedal so much! You can plug in any instrument play just a C chord or something, and it's the nicest C chord you ever heard.

[@nickrusso3125]

The creative use of the speed switch on sound 3 was really cool. Kudos for figuring that out.

[@AnonymousBosch3158]

The last one is brilliant... Using the wear and the mechanics with golden ration to have a modulated, kind of Lo Fi, reverb is very clever.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

The delays are so delicate and pristine.

[@watchyourtoneman5061]

I just love strymon pedals! Great video

[@h2ophilter]

one of Strymon's best pedals

[@RaJuRMusica]

I truly dig this pedal. Sold my Brigadier!!

[@cfibanez]

#10 best by far.

[@viperspd2]

just got this, it's really REALLY nice. also, not featured in this video, the built in looper and reverse function, plus buffered bypass and non-buffered bypass options... and more.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Yes, I made plenty of other videos on it also. Thank you!

[@viperspd2]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar oh, really? well, i know what i'm doing this afternoon :)

[@Wooburnmusic]

Great demo Antoine thankyou 👍 for me I think that the volante is one 😁 thanks again for a great sound demo. 😁👍 Best wishes to you.

[@JeremyMcCant]

Awesome demo as always Antoine. Sound 2 was incredibly beautiful!

[@Pedalnerds]

Excellent demo of the Volante!

[@klauswhitedreamer]

Number 2, the best ...

[@AlmaAmbientMusic]

excellent sounds of the Strymon Volante, I would like to see strymon Volante vs Tc electronic Triple delay. excellent video as always

[@savanaviolenta]

Triple delay stacks 3 delays, Volante one at a time plus Spring reverb. There will be differences, but both great pedals.

[@stingcarlsson7988]

@@savanaviolenta does more always mean better? It depends on sound quality and not on the amount of stacked delays.

[@kylebichler2258]

I’d rather use a volante and another delay pedal to stack

[@willfowler8540]

@@kylebichler2258 3 strymom volantes?

[@jonfaries5990]

Awesome video as always. If you could please do a shoot out of the three strymon delays. Kind like what was done before in the timeline vs el cap. Thanks

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

There are 5 Strymon delays: Timeline, El Capistan, DIG, Brigadier, Volante. Which 3 were you referring to?

[@grega1207]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar don't forget the DECO, its right side echo is very versatile and quite amazing!

[@adammindykowski6984]

Great demo Antoine. Looking forward to more music with the Volante. Notwithstanding the obvious differences in specification, it would be interesting to hear your views on the differences between the Volante and El Capistan. There are some comparisons already on KZbin, but not in the context of ambient guitar.

[@arcturusvmoon]

Love this demonstration Antoine! Cool music and great effects!

[@TheMicroaggressor]

Great sound is what I expect from an effect with a price of a synth

[@edocamera]

great stuff

[@DanielG0m3z]

Great music!

[@GNeuman]

Really can't wait to get one but here in Europe they won't be here until end of April

[@MrGuidoy82]

Very Nice!

[@hoplophobe]

I loved #10! Are the toggles drum and half speed?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Tape and normal! Camera angle is misleading. Sound #8 is drum and half speed (if you want to compare)

[@hoplophobe]

Many thanks! Are there different sonic differences between half, normal, and double speeds?

[@RickRad09]

This is so good...

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Hey Antoine! Great sounds, can similar sounds be achieved using triple delay?

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

well there goes any possibility of saving any money in my lifetime there's so many good pedals out there and for some reason I want all of them and that's just how it is better figure something else out

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Sounds like the easiest solution is to stop watching gear demos :-) you can do it!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar well that's no fun..

[@scottburnham8583]

Gets my thumbs up! Great demo and sound recording, looks expensive!..lol

[@llwonder]

I know they're different pedals but do you like this as much or more than the Timeline? I cant really justify getting both and would like to have one. Timeline seems more versatile, but this is pretty neat and has a built in spring reverb

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Honestly, this is a really great pedal, but the Timeline is currently on my board instead of the Volante for the reason you said: versatility!

[@shawnsaul7759]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar can the Timeline cover any basic type of vibes or tape echo sounds that the Volante specializes in?

[@agerven]

Thanks for this video. This Volante appears to have a very clear and beautiful sound. But listening to this video makes me wonder what the actual differences are between the Volante, El Capistan and the Boss RE-20. Anybody got links to more information on that?

[@GNeuman]

agerven I've got the El Capistan and an RE-20 and they sound VERY different...the El Capistan is warmer than the RE-20 and has alot more headroom. The RE-20 doesn't self-oscillate very nicely either. To my ears, the Volante is also very warm sounding but does the Binson magnetic drum thing VERY well too which the El Capistan doesn't. Just sold one of my Dawner Prince Boonars to hopefully part finance one of these Volantes. I think they are superb. I also recently sold mint condition RE-201 to finance a Timeline, a Neunaber Immerse and some other pedals. It was a complete no-brainer, I got so much in exchange for selling "A Legend". I really think digital technology is THAT good now and who needs the hassle of maintaining 45 year old tape echo machines?

[@agerven]

​@@GNeuman Thank you so much. I'm very happy with this type of user information. For me one of the best things in the Strymon Capistan is its warm sound in addition with its versatility. It's probably inevitable that someday I'll have and use one.

[@GNeuman]

@@agervenyou're welcome! You won't regret buying an El Capistan, it's a superb delay pedal

[@empathysgone96]

Hole amigo! I was hoping to use one of the settings of this guy as a tucked in background delay on my acoustic. Thoughts on possible settings? I’m a little overwhelmed with it LOL! But she sounds amazing. Not sure if this is a better option for that than the diamond memory lane jr which I’ve considered buying because of its simplicity

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Go simple! This is way overkill for a simple acoustic delay. Memory Lane Jr. would be a lot better in my opinion!

[@empathysgone96]

Antoine Michaud thank you my friend!

[@MikhailMedvedev]

mine should come in a couple of weeks)... think of timeclocking it with Timeline... I wish Timeline could send tempo midi cc...

[@neonether]

Why would you want something in the fx chain sending out midi cc? If you're clocking tempo just set up your controller to send midi cc to each device you want clocked.

[@MikhailMedvedev]

@@neonether ok, what about people who have NO midi controller? One could tap tampo on a single device (let's say Timeline) and then sync all the other pedals with it

[@neonether]

@@MikhailMedvedev Either way, you'd have to have a way to control midi cc. Basically you want the timeline to be the controller, which might be able to be done since both are midi equipped...you basically connect the pedals so the strymon is sending and set the volante to the same midi channel so they can communicate. If I remember my conversation with strymon people correctly from earlier this year, it should be able to be done. The message can go through the timeline but I don't think it can originate from the timeline...

[@MikhailMedvedev]

@@neonether that's what I wanted from my TL to control other pedals, but it cannot set midi tempo... Anyway I personally bought morningstarfx to do the job, but this midi tempo option could be useful. Talked to Strymon support about the issue - there was no way to do it the way I described above

[@neonether]

@@MikhailMedvedev Even though it's not conventional to design pedals that way, I can see how having at least the tempo sent out would be useful in certain situations. That would be a pretty clutch feature. The morning star works and sends your temp through without issue?

[@shckltnebay]

Is it true they left off the Tape Age control from the El Cap and the TL?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Yes... it's the only thing that's missing for me with the Volante!

[@shckltnebay]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Are you keeping yours or sticking with the El Cap and TL?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

I keep all 3 at the moment and swap them according to what I feel like using

[@shckltnebay]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I have the timeline and the Grand Canyon think I need to add the El Cap and grow longer fingers.

[@hoover728]

Wear is the same as Tape Age: it removes high frequency content.

[@XPJV]

I already have Timeline & Big Sky. How is it worth to get Volante? What's the additional gain?

[@lockedowng]

It's all tape/drum delays. It's like the tape or dbucket settings on your timeline but better. It does not have the other 10 delay types. What it does, it does really, really well.

[@openup007]

Thank you Bro... what recommendations do you have for use with an existing Timeline?

[@tochiromifune419]

Great sounds. But most guitarists do not play stereo with 2 amps and I wish there'd be more demos in mono.

[@samwisegrangee]

“I wish there’d more demos in mono”: marking this under things I’d never say about a pedal demo 😆

[@jburdsinfuse]

I have this pedal and it really is incredible...BUT...any sounds that require a lot of fiddling (i.e #2) that can't be changed via footswitches are useless live. Even still, good stuff and the Volante is a must buy if you're into sounds. Just any sounds.

With a Saleh Quartz V3 controller you can preset all of your various tones and call them up with a simple foot switch!
