In this video we hear several Volante sound-on-sound looper examples.
Sound on Sound with Magnetic Personality.
Create dynamic loops that degrade and evolve. Change loop direction at the touch of a footswitch. Press PAUSE for a mechanical tape stop effect. Change the speed of your loop and simultaneously change the pitch in octave increments.
Find an inspiring sound in Echo Mode, and all your echoes remain intact when you engage Sound on Sound. When your loop has reached the perfect state of mutation, you can engage Infinite Repeats to stop further loop degradation, creating an infinite loop while disengaging the loop record head.
==================================================
Volante: Sounds From The Expanse.
Three Magnetic Delay Types, Spring Reverb, Looper, and More.
Delivering truly exceptional sound quality and intuitive playability, Volante is designed to radically enhance the sonic expressiveness of your pedalboard. Featuring magnetic drum echo, tape echo, and reel-to-reel studio echo, Volante is a stereo multi-head delay that also offers a looper and vintage spring reverb, with powerful sound-sculpting controls for limitless sonic possibilities.
Create instant retrofuture atmosphere with evocative vintage delay tones. Activate your imagination with evolving ambient echoes and warm, organic feedback with just the right amount of grit. Sculpt your soundscape in real time as Volante becomes an extension and expansion of your musical instrument. Infuse your pedalboard with stunning vintage vibes that resonate and inspire.
==================================================
Recording Notes:
Signal Path: Fender Stratocaster (Japan 1985) → OB.1 (compressor only, no boost) → Sunset (JFET) → Volante → BigSky (cabinet filter only) → audio interface
All examples use neck and middle pickups (volume & tone maxed), except for “Quickly Dissipating Loops” and “Apply Reverb to Loop” which use bridge and middle pickups. For “Evolving Loop,” Strat volume and neck pickup tone control turned down a bit during EBow solo.
I’m sitting here just laughing. My wife is wondering what for. These wonderful things you’ve made just bring happiness. Sometimes I start getting bored, which usually means guitar is over. It’s like something all new again. Thank you.
Strymon deserves kudos for really getting serious about inspired demos of their gear - no one does a better job, and creativity is never lacking.
Let me stop you right there, but also let me do it really slow so the tape effect gets into the mix!
I appreciate the new pair of Docs
*throws wallet at screen*
Either a well spoken British / Scandinavian person or no narration at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. A+
Very nice. The SOS loop degradation reminds me of the excellent Digitech Echo Plus. You can play it till it fades out with each repeat or stop it and loop. I imagine many users won't bother to use the SOS function, but for me this was pure genius to incorporate this feature.
kiaora12 I bought it for SOS, what you talkin bout Willis?
Mechanically slowing down the loop? Now you got my attention.
Reversed multi-tap tape echoes? Yes, please! So glad you added the reverse functionality to the delays as well as the SOS looper
Wow, the really models some amazing possibilities. Waiting for someone to show off their frippetronics take with this beauty.
PS would like to see Pete dressed as Dr Elden Tyrell for Halloween 😀 all hail Pete!!!!
Be assured that Chords of Orion soon will.
Really cool Boards of Canada-type sounds. I love it. I can’t wait to get mine. ❤️
💀
What a demo!! I want this thing so badly now
Most excellent, I always look to your videos first when I need some Strymon Instructions, thanks for sharing this with us
I came to learn the basics because didn't understand what was going on in sos mode. Now I have the basics and know there's other options I don't understand.
Reach out to us anytime if you need any tips or help. support@strymon.net
Sounded heavenly when you set it to half speed.
was waiting for a thorough examination of those feature! thanks so much. damn.
You make me want to learn guitar instead of strange fart noises through a microphone into my modular- magneto -Volante combo setup. It’s my fave of all of your creations, and there are many brilliant pieces to be weighed. Congratulations on the success of this one it’s a heavy hitter and a workhorse in our studio...I want a third.
Thank you!!
I have not even used the SOS feature yet. I didn’t think it would be that useful, but wow it looks really great.
Pete what else you got hidden in this thing!!! Messed with the looper a little bit but didn’t know it could do all this!. . . Wait til I get home
That first demo sounds really like Vini Reilly/Durutti Column. Excellent stuff👍👍👍
Great demo, especially the e-bow section.
Why is the sound on sound looper in mono? You have been doing stereo for years now, WHY? I don’t get it. I thought this pedal would be absolutely perfect for me to run a nightsky before looper to create lush loops. HOW is my nightsky gonna be sounding on the loop when its summed to mono, what a disaster, I am absolutely sad 😞
Like for real, you guys even created stereo IRs, how is it that your most in-depth stereo unit with panable stereoheads is in MONO when entering looper? No 😢
You should make a standalone looper pedal.
very cool features. deffinitely good for frippertronics.
Knobs is that you?
i dont believe there is a knobs but if there is im nothing like him
Lovely demo! :-)
Really want to see how you set up the loop around 5:50. Can’t wait for mine to arrive next week.
Unfortunately we do not have a recording of the loop being recorded at that point, but the delay settings are shown on screen for that sound.
Man, I was wondering why-o-why the Volante only seemed to have SOS with overdubbing. No review video I've seen every pointed out how to use it like a traditional, i.e. non-overdubbing, looper. Turns out it's the Infinite mode! Voila! Thank you for this video!
trippy af
why did you made its looper to work in mono? it sums everything to one channel. not only the delay itself - all the pedals in a chain!
Hello! The looper is processed the same way in stereo as the wet signal - a copy of the dry signal is summed, processed, and then sent to both stereo outputs with a stereo effect for a sense of depth and movement. The dry signal is never summed.
Great demo… And a lovely loop! The question no one ever answers: how do you get out of the loop mode in back to the “normal “echo function of the pedal?
The only way I can do it is to unplug the unit and start again
Any suggestions? Thanks!
You just need to press and hold TAP for a few seconds to exit :)
@@strymon Thanks!
endless hours of joy!
I seriously want to meet the contortionist that did this video! One second they are playing geetar, then we see their hands moving knobs, then we see a boot! PLEASE post a wide shot of this amazing musician/human pretzel! 😜
We actually do have a behind the scenes picture 😉 instagram.com/p/BtjO75TB6z1/
I thought the same thing lol
pure bliss ✨
Those boots are so clean !!! OMG !!! :D
Whenever I think about buying a new delay pedal, I just did into the Volante or Polymoon or Tensor and I can get anything I'm looking for.
Amazing pedal
Literally just got a timeline and a bigsky, time for another purchase lel
I sold my Timeline after getting the Volante. No regrets.
Design like a Moog.
absolute yum.
can it do high freqs cut?
anyone else hearing aphex twin ambient works II?
this is amazing
It is such a beautiful machine the Volante! Bravo! I love mine! But in SOS mode with the INFINITE HOLD function (which lifts the recording head) the recorded loop does degrade on mine, after some minutes... all knobs on the left on minimum... :(
Hello! This is interesting. If you haven't emailed already, please email support@strymon.net and they'd be happy to help.
strymon :) yes I did now - maybe someone tries it as well - it starts after approximately 2-3 minutes, there you can hear that the loop in inf hold looses on “sparkle”
This happens even earlier and depends on the length of the loop. SO very short loops will degrade faster. So I guess it is a algorithm which degrades the quality after every repetion a bit.
Take my money
I don't understand how it's stereo: You can place the heads in different locations in the stereo image but would that even be able to cause a ping pong? I know that it may not be historically correct but who cares if it sounds cool?
I'm not very clear on your question. You can select which heads are panned anywhere in the stereo field including L, R, L, R for heads 1-4 to get a ping pong effect when all four are engaged. Or you have have them all centered without any bouncing of the repeats between the left and right sides.
@@strymon Ok, that sounds perfect, and you understood very well, thanks. I would suggest making a stronger point of this :-)
@@poulwinther Thank you for the feedback, will pass along to the team!
Can anyone tell me if this has a "play once" function on a loop you've recorded? Maybe with an external switch? Thx in advance
There is actually no play once function on Volante's looper at this time. However, you can hit the PAUSE footswitch to stop it from playing more than once.
@@strymon thanks for the response. This is a really great sounding pedal. Just as a recommendation, you guys might want to entertain an external switch function of a "play once" on anything recorded in SOS mode on future products. I can't tell you how many live guitarists would appreciate this. Most of us have to use things like the Ditto, flashback X4, or an old boss looper to do this (especially without wanting to drop cash on a boomerang). It makes a lot of cover songs a thousand times easier and more pleasing to the audience when we can play things we recorded once, on the fly. At any rate, I think the volante will be a massive hit.
@@LeviBulger Thank you so much for the feedback Felix and the kind words about Volante!
frippetronics deluxe!
Lo más hermoso que escuche jamás!!
Why sound on sound mode and not a looper? Can you do just regular looping on this? Sos is confusing to me
I'm trying to figure out if it can be paired with external foot controllers to be used as a standard looper, especially with a play once function like on the boomerang and TC flashback x4/ditto
We expanded on the SOS looper found in El Capistan for Volante (and Magneto). The SPLICE function is used to start and stop recording and clears the loop when pressed a third time. For SOS, the loop degrades with every pass, but if you engage the HOLD function, that lifts the record head and the recorded loop will no longer degrade. Once you understand how to access and use these functions, you can use it like a normal looper you may be more accustomed to.
@@strymon Thank you for the Reply!
@@strymon "...and the recorded loop will no longer degrade..." - this is simply not true
@@geha6596 problem solved or still issues?
I am absolutely upset that the SOS mode is mono
I’d really like to see a comparison of the SOS feature between this and the El Capistan. How are the different?
You get much more control over the Volante SOS looper as you get additional controls for Reverse, Hold to stop the degrading of the loop, and the Pause feature with and without mechanics. You can also adjust all the delay settings while in SOS mode as well.
Can I record layers with different delay presets? If I change the playback heads/ time or spacing during the overdub in sos mode, it will affect the whole loop or only the last thing I'm playing?
@strymon
I'm curious to hear the tape saturation without any echo. Does it sound just like the Deco tape saturation?
The REC LEVEL on Volante is only applied to the repeats. They're also different algorithms altogether.
Reminds me Secede - Tryshasla album
Well...I’m sold. Now I have to buy.
Please be careful if you think to buy it also for the use as an endless looper. (SOS looper, "INFINITE HOLD" mode).
The loops lose the quality of sound even after switching on the "INFINITE HOLD" mode (in normal SOS it is wanted and fine, but the INF mode actually does only disables the overdubbing, nothing else). So the statement "...and prevent the recorded loop from degrading." is simply not true. After reporting the problem to Strymon, this behavior was confirmed, but I was also told by their support, after some time of investigating this, that this will never be changed because it would be too much programming effort. I then asked Strymon to at least correct this in all their documents & web pages, as it is simply misleading. Unfortunately, nothing happened so far. I hope this helps someone. (Recorded loops are in mono by the way) - The rest of this pedal is amazing...
how do you make such sounds at 5:33 ?
I played several staccato palm-muted notes into the looper, first lower on the neck and then up high on the neck within the minor pentatonic scale, which sounded pretty normal when I played them, and then I allowed them to loop over and over again with the settings you see on the screen at that time. Since the Wear control was turned up fairly high and the Mechanics control was at maximum, the loop degraded with each pass and eventually came to sound as you hear it in the video: almost unrecognizable as having been played on a guitar.

Does anyone know the maximum loop length?
Depends on the Speed setting:
half - 64 sec
normal - 32 sec
double - 16 sec
@@mattpipermusic Great. Thank you for the response.
Is it possible to loop two separate inputs using this pedal?
Hello! Not too sure what you mean. Are you asking if the SOS looper will loop whatever is coming into both inputs? If so, yes. If you have any more questions please email support@strymon.net
@@strymon yes that was essentially my question. I plan on running two separate tracks through this pedal.
@@amunraja You can technically run 2 separate instruments into the pedal using the left and right inputs, but note that they will be summed in the loop. For more information, please email support@strymon.net.
@@strymon thank you! This pedal is a workhorse! Looking forward to getting one with my tax return :)
Sounds cool but that was confusing.
If you ever need any further help, just let us know at support@strymon.net :)
wow
i mean
just wow
like wow wow wow
😱 Doc Martens 😂
Cmon...I'm already saving for El Capistan. Dont do this.
Have had both, this is well worth the extra change
Salieto pass go the finish line and skip to this instead
Being able to go into sound on sound while keeping your delay setting on the Volante means this is the only delay pedal needed on the board. Also each knob having two functions on the El Cap is a pain in the ass
Hey! Thank you all for the recommendations and tips! Gonna save for the Volante (a little more)
What are ten more years of saving ? Nothing. And in ten years we could probably buy the new El Volante Capistan for only 899 bucks. Two pedals for the price of 6 ... with two more footswitches and an external optional control pedal :-)
Here's another take at it: th-cam.com/video/KiiJTX22z8s/w-d-xo.html

shut up
and just take my money
Ebow in 2019?!?
Awww, c'mon... you don't have a soft spot for the good ol' Ebow?
why not?
Tim says throw them bows, I say bring em' out.
The volante sucks in real life
Why?
@@johnnym815 its thin sounding and seriously lacks mojo. The modulating lacks depth. Please get the el capistan instead its so so so much better. Regret selling me el cap the volante it was a bad choice. The volante was 100% gimmick with useless features. To me at least
@@Mesa3077Boogie Thank you for the response. I've been considering getting one or the other....
@@johnnym815 the volante has looks for days but not the tone to back it up IMO. The El capistan has the tone and mojo. Sounds great in front or loop. I use the loop. As great and versatile and feature laden as my source audio nemesis is, I would choose the el capistan over the volante or nemesis based on tone alone any day
Take my money
