Strymon Volante Magnetic Echo Machine | Demo

[@gafarbello107]

Man I had a Volante and loved it so much, especially with switching the speeds, it added so much into everything. You definitely make me wanna get it again as a studio production tool

[@DougHanson]

It's such a great pedal!

[@YOutsider]

dude, sometimes your creativity blows me away! intro reminds me of a riff from sunny day real estate ’roses in water’.

[@adyuriar]

The REC LEVEL is the input gain, you could increase and adjust the ECHO LEVEL and I think it would increase the repeats levels higher with higher input. Nice video. Great pedal.

BRILLIANT DEMO ⭐️🌞👍🏻. I got this unit, now I just need the time to enjoy it. 😫👊😉🤣⭐️🌞

[@ckjjclan]

Great demo!

[@rickthomas393]

Excellent! Thanks.

[@ciclosonico]

OMG you make me want a Volante too

[@DougHanson]

It’s a fun one!

[@marcusstrymon693]

Lately in the studio: How many tape modulation and mechanical elements like splices do you want to have on your delay? Me: Yes O____o

[@danielcrosslin8288]

Man what settings are you using on the ACS1? Sounds killer

[@DougHanson]

Just the factory blue preset (Vox model) with room set to 0. Everything else at noon.

[@Bairov]

How did you make the reverb drip! Please enlighten me.

[@Pedalnerds]

Sounds great!

[@DougHanson]

Thanks Nathan!

[@marcusstrymon693]

Hey! Here again for a volante question: Could it be that the spring reverb is in mono? Also, the looper is in mono, is this a dealbreaker or does it still sound good?

[@DougHanson]

Not sure about the reverb, but yes the looper is mono. I think the looper is super fun with all the speed control/delay tap controls options for each layer. Up to you if it’s a dealbreaker!

[@javiceres]

The Reberb sounds mono to me…

[@marcusstrymon693]

@javiceres it is

[@javiceres]

@@marcusstrymon693 I see

[@marcusstrymon693]

Hold on, I see that you have the echo level maxed out? Does that mean the delay level doesn’t get louder than that? Here we are far off a 100%wet setting, more like 50 50 which to me ain’t enough Ever had issues in regards to the delay not being loud enough?

[@DougHanson]

Yeah, I usually have Echo Level maxed and it’s about 50/50. If you’re looking to get 100% wet there is an option to kill dry but you have to set that on power up, so it’s not easy to switch between settings.

[@marcusstrymon693]

@@DougHanson Is that a dealbreaker? Do you have the feeling that the echo isn’t loud enough at times? I dont rely on it as a crutch since I have a timeline but it is sorta stupid since they had the mix allready nailed.... basically like the immerse mk 1... Then on the other hand on a real binson you could also not get beyond 50% wet or am I wrong there?

[@javiceres]

In the Volante you could still crank the Rec Level to get louder repeats

[@marcusstrymon693]

@@javiceres echo level itself is loud enough, got the volante since 2 yra

[@javiceres]

@@marcusstrymon693 Oh, I see, great!

[@jcshirke]

When you change speeds using MIDI via your Morningstar, what exactly are you doing? Sending a CC# to the Volante that corresponds to the type of speed change you want? Is the switch in momentary mode? I'm hoping I can do something like this with my Boss ES-8.

[@DougHanson]

Yep, sending CC to Volante. All of the CC#s are listed in the Volante manual. I didn’t set it up for momentary but that is a possibility with the MC8.

[@marcusstrymon693]

I would say I am sold on the volante but if I think twice, actually I am not sure if in reality I am just sold on your musical performance in this video... Superb playing and absolutely creative ways to use the pitch shifting! I believe the Meris hedra would be absolute gold in your hands, probably give it a shot, that demo would be a masterpiece if you lay down the same creativity as in this video! Check Pedalzones video on the hedra (particularly last jam at min 11: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6jZqoZ-Zb6dj6s

Great demo!
