Rhett just stop it now.. and record an instrumental album, that intro is great!!
armando arciniega +100!!
Amen! Rhett is a beast!
I was just about to comment the same thing!
sakamuras s maybe maybe not who cares. Would be nice if he does produce it anyhow as a single.
Totally. That intro was great. I almost stopped watching the video after the intro. What else was needed? I wad sold on the volante!
Rhett great point on focusing on one's preferred sounds. In a time and age of do it all pedals its great to find one which does one thing great and without a clutter of switches and settings.
Just got a volante today. Love the simplicity. Doing like you said. Putting the timeline away for awhile on my board ( not getting rid of it though!) and running the volante as my main delay. Love the tape sound! Thanks Rhett, love the effort you put into your reviews
That opening track was very cool - nicely done sir...
That tone on “Run Like Hell” sounded like the studio recording
Studio: MXR Digital rack delays
Live: MXR in some photos, a DD-2 & DD-3 in others. Depends on the era/tour
Except gilmour was using digital delays by then
This is probably the best straight out review of the Volante. Well done, Rhett.
I've been using Strymon for years as well but have always found the Timeline to be overkill for what I need. I have the Deco on my board currently but have been on the fence between getting the Volante or something like the T-Rex Replicator Jr.(prices have gotten very reasonable lately). I'm pretty sure that this video has pushed me to buy a Volante now. Damn, TH-cam is expensive.
Great review. I liked the instrumental at the beginning, but the part I most valued was hearing you discuss the pedal at a down to earth level I could understand. Thank you Rhett.
Now that is how you do an informative and honest review of a piece of gear. Thanks Rhett!
Such a great and useful take on this pedal. Honestly I found it to be more informative, committed and to the point than most of the other reviews out there. Thanks.
-Seal.
I'm definitely going to pick one up. Loved the demo from Andertons Music.
This is the best video yet, Dr. Shull.
Sounds like an awesome addition to a rig... You're videos are awesome, the stuff you review shows that you spend quite a bit of time mastering the functions of the gear before you make a video. I appreciate that
Love the honesty of your gear demos Rhett!
Good review Rhett, I like how you actually tell people your honest opinion including the Cons for you and not just all about the Pro’s.
Great video! Really enjoyed your editing in the intro. Totally agree with your thoughts on the timeline. I pretty much always end up using the tape as well. Keep up the great content🎸
That intro was nothing short of spectacular! It deserves thumbs ups of its own!
Been my favorite and most versatile pedal I’ve ever had so far... great review Rhett!
After seeing you clip, I think I am going to buy this pedal. You answered all my questions. Thanks !
I bought one last week came in the mail yesterday loving it. Thanks man for this video helped me out a lot
Thanks Rhett!! You just helped me deciding on buying the timeline. I was curious about the volante, though but couldn't use tape delay alone...
Sounds killer Rhett. I really dig the golden & silver ratio functions on the Volante. Also- best intro to date!
Late to this video but have to say I’m interested in the Volante because, like you, I live mainly on tape type delays. And I love your to-the-point, straight ahead reviews 👍
love the intro jams on your videos man, well done!
Man, your playing shots and B roll are so killer!!
Just the review i needed. Thanks man. You are a pro!
Yea- that intro was great! Rhett, thanks for the review. Like you, I really hover on analog on tape. I come from years of a RE-301 chorus echo and now that its busticated, having a hard time finding the right "modern" replacement. The Volante is tops on my list right now - and your demo/review really puts my thoughts right - it's just a little outa my price range these days....
As always a well thought out, practical, and honest opinion. Good review.
This demo sold me on the Volante. I have a TimeLine but much like Rhett all I used regularly is the tape setting. I have only had the Volante for a day and it’s already inspiring me to find new sounds and play more. Keeping the TimeLine for now too but the Volante is gonna be my default for the foreseeable future.
You are such a good player man. Shames me cause I have been playing since about '68. Love your sweepy open chord stylings, hoping to pick up some chops from watching your videos. Some people are just more creative I guess. Love your stuff. And thanks for the Volante recommendation, I just bought one, looking forward to using it. Already have 4 different Strymons and love them all. And its all cause of you and your videos. Just love that huge, open sound!
2 years ago, I watched this. As impressed as I was, I had other delays and didn't see buying another. Ffw, mine is on its way!!!
Definitely more like these man! Great video and great songs!
For tape echo sound, I really like my Keely Magnetic Echo. It does one thing really well. Only down side is I have to manually dial in dotted eighth note delay.
Your tones are fantastic, definitely makes me want to buy a Kemper.
Loved the intro! Your instrumental pieces are always superb. I think the Volante is an outstanding pedal, but being that I don't use delay a great deal, I'll likely opt to keep using a delay that's cheaper and takes up less real estate on my board.
Great review! Great pedal! Thanks Rhett.
great insight. i have a couple of friends who could benefit from getting rid of their reverb pedal and just using the volante. that's definitely the unsung feature imo, incredibly useful
Dude!!! Amazing tone... I can't believe how good that sounded through computer speakers. I agree with Armando, you need to do an album.
Sounds as usual fantastic!! Sick tones!!
That Pink Floyd part was very convincing! That sounded so good!
I LOVE mine! I took it out of the box, plugged it in without changing a thing, and got lost for almost half an hour. The simplicity of it inspires me more than my Timeline.
I have the Volante and the Catlinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe. Volante iis definitely more versatile. The buttons for the four playback/feedback heads combined with the spacing knob on the Volante can give you endless variations on delay patterns, and the wear, low cut and record level knobs allow you to shape the tone of the repeats in myriad ways. The three different settings all add a different character, my favorite is the drum (echorec) setting, it's the most gritty and lo fi. So Volante is great. But I still can't bring myself to take the Belle Epoch Deluxe off my board, the EP preamp sound in it is just too good, and with it's other delay type settings and an expression pedal you can do some pretty awesome stuff. I know you can use an expression pedal with the Volante too, but the Catlinbread is just vibey-er and a little more unpredictable (like sweeping the resonant filter delay setting, which is always just on the edge of going into runaway self-oscillation). So for now, they're both still on my board, which is kind of a lot of space for two delay pedals, but I like them both too much.
Just picked one up today. I’ve got the DD-500 and the tape sounds on there are good especially after the update. But tonight I’ve found myself getting some really really really cool (but still musical) tones by playing with the spacing knob. Combine that with spot on tone, and I call that $400 well spent. I might find myself missing my analog sounds though. We’ll see. I’ve been able to tweak the wear knob to trim the highs and get in the ball park
Best demo I’ve seen of this pedal thanks
Great review!!! I'm a novice with the guitar, only do some riffs here and there. However I'm SUPER interested in this pedal for my synths and drum machines. The stereo in/out and midi are perfect for my setup
Definitely getting one. Great demo!
Great Video! The best thing about this pedal is you can see what other players do with it and try it out! love mine!
Got it. Love it. I don't think it will ever leave my board.
Hey Rhett! Great video and that intro song was my favorite yet! :D
Yes... more videos on these types of pedals. Thanks!!!
love it, love your sound!!
Seems cool as hell to me. Like you Rhett, I usually just use the tape setting on my Timeline too. I particularly love the Binson / drum sound on the Volante. Very unique. I think I would do a lot more digging around with this pedal than I do on my Timeline. This is a specialty pedal, and I dig it's specialty!
have owned a Timeline, el Capitan, H9/ Timefactor and TC Electronic triple delay, and yes I can clearly say it's the best delay barr none.
9:45 I'm in the exact same boat.
I just got a timeline and bigsky a week or so ago, and granted I haven't made a conscious effort to dive deep into every preset and start crazily tweaking. I find myself just sticking to the dtape setting on the timeline because tape delay is my absolute favourite. I won't sell the timeline as some of the settings are really damn cool, but granted having more control and more focus on the tape settings would be good, so I'm definitely gonna pick a volante up.
Sigh, I just bought a pedaltrain novo 24 and it looks like I'm going out shopping for a bigger board already.
Awesome sounds at the start dude, if I had a kemper I'd be considering picking that pack up.
killer intro Rhett, hell yes!
I vote MORE VIDEOS reviewing pedals. This video is highly apropos for me, and you nicely distilled your likes and dislikes and gave us an excellent perspective of what the pedal is. Your review is highly relevant to me since I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these VOLANTEs, and now I have a much better idea of what the pedal would mean to me as an average dude who tools about on his guitar. I totally dug this review man! Thanks Rhett.
Just got mine, love it!
7:13 YES yes yes. Sing it, Brother. THIS!
Hello sir from Montreal!!
Glad to be able to tune in!!
nice balanced take, Rhett -- will keep in mind if I find myself heading into tape delay territory (the local guitar shop/Strymon dealer is literally across the street from where I live here in SB!)
That was an incredible demo. Cheers to you man. New competition for Pete thorn now. The only 2 pedalers I watch.
That Pedal Show is pretty great too if you like getting really deep in long form video.
that opening track is KILLER!!!
100% agree. I had a Timeline and got rid of it. Replaced it with the Volante. There's nothing about the Timeline that I miss. I Volante absolutely beats out the Timeline because of the multiple delay heads and the ability to change the timing between them. For ambient playing which I do alot of, this allows the Volante to replace a cascade of 2-3 delay pedals. I'm using a Kemper as well. In performance mode, the Kemper can call up Volante presets. Perfect!
The individual panning for each tape head is a huge personal seller for me
I dream of double ping-pong (I have an old Ibanez pan delay) so I was really interested in the Seymour Duncan Dark Sun Delay/Reverb - also the hall reverb on that thing sounds GREAT - but the Volante’s beauteeful delay tone + the panning makes it the winner
Great vibe you create !
Amazing sound! Nailed it.
Excellent intro! Good stuff!
Thinking of selling my memory man and going down the volante road... I've got the big sky by strymon and I've got to say the sound and build quality is top of the class.
I'm going to buy one for sure. Great video Rhett!
Thanks Shawn!
The intro song... AMAZING
Very insightful review. I will look at the Timeline as well before I decide. Thanks! P.S. Cool intro!👊
I would love to see videos like this on your tried and true gear. Recording/Performing/Writing...
Awesome. Thank you.
Would like to see some of your fav Volante settings. Like maybe a little in depth video of it.
A $400 free pedal is still a payment. Not that is matters but perspective can get lost by many who's complete pedal board is about that value. It is nice that TH-camr's are now required to release information about compensation however, and i am not singling out anyone for any reason. It is just a pedal that i would never consider due to cost, no matter how good it is. I can still dream and watch the high end reviews and know who bought the item and who was gifted it.
It's around $750-795 in Australia. Fk that.
It's only $100 more than the El Capistan and way more feature-packed.
Yes budget should factor but... Who the fuck buys a pedal just because it's expensive? The two pedals I bought that were between 300-400 CAD were both because they did a sound I couldn't get with any other pedal...
Strymom deco, steel string supreme...
Yes you could say they are just expensive pedals but cost wasn't the driving factor of my purchase, I don't mention the cost when I mention what they do at jam sessions...
Buy the gear that gets you the sounds you want. If a cheap set up can do it for you, great! But bashing something for the sake of cost is stupid. There's a lot of expensive components, design, and building required to make these pedals, it's not like it's a 30$ unit upcharged...
Great review!
Thanks for also pointing out the disadvantages. I think I‘ll just keep my El Capistan and for the money get a Flux Echo and an Echosex Baby to go along with it.
Great review and sounds, this just cost me 1 x Volante plus shipping :P
Strymon does make killer shit, Ive got a Big Sky and love it... that being said, the new Audio Source Collider can play a tape echo and Binson oil can delay at the same time... and the AS spring reverb sound quality is unsurpassed... all in a smaller pkg with the option of using a phone app or puter to fine edit if one so wishes... these are cool times we live in..
Sounds awesome.... I keep looking for a stereo replacement for my FTT Flight Time and this sounds as good if not better. If only it had the Flight Times Realtime BPM Analyzer...
Man this demo was excellent! I have had this pedal since 2019 and I gotta say, it’s the best delay pedal I have ever heard.
Top video, keep up the great work!
That intro song is frickin’ awesome!
Really enjoyed the intro track.
I ordered the Volante and Timeline, letting the dealer know I’d be returning one of the two. Spent a good amount of time on both.Timeline is serious but I’m a BIG fan of El Cap and have always wished it had more presets along with MIDI capabilities. So it’s no surprise that I kept the Volante. I just wanted to be sure, though. I’m with you, Rhett: Cool as the effects are on the Timeline; I just knew I wouldn’t be using most of them. Love the Volante. Cool video. Thanks!
Does the Volante sound better than the El cap? I'm looking for a good delay & tape delay pedal.
what a great sound and great demo. I'm thrilled to have found this channel. Great content. I'm curious if you remember what speaker was used in your Lightning profile? I'm really digging the sound, and considering buying an actual Lightning combo. I'm assuming the Alnico Gold was in or the Morgan profile?
I'm not a huge delay guy but that one, that pedal is just awsome
That intro has so much U2 in it, so good!
mine is coming today!! got the new gear shakes
The intro gave me chills...
I'm sold. Great video.
I recently invested in the Empress Echosystem and Reverb and before that I was using a Blue Sky and a DIG from Strymon. I'm thinking about selling the DIG to fund the Volante. The hands-on approach of it is really appealing and it'll be a great option for my smaller board when I do fly gigs and ship contracts.
Thanks for your thoughts Rhett.
Its bigger than my pedal board! I keep it simple. Sounds good. Good video
Wow...you've got some serious talent my friend...you are a gifted man indeed! Great review!
Great track man
Pedal sounds great! The intro was spectacular and your thoughts on the pedal were honest and fair! At first when I saw it I was like great another massive delay but it really does sound good.
Like you, I SORELY under utilized my timeline. Volante + Nightsky + Vox AC30HW = ❤️
Well I can't afford it, but I bought it anyway. I use a Specular Tempus also, but this just fills that "niche". It's a beautiful sounding pedal and more versatile than you might think.
Thanks Rhett!
i didn’t but much stock in them as being a HYPE type effect for most Strymon...because of the underutilization factor. BUT the Volante does seem like all the best features of a few great delays rolled into on unit. still probably more expensive than i would like but stills THIS pedal seems worth the hype
Rhett that intro is killer! Volante sounds good. Have you ever played a Digitech Timebender? I think your intro inspired me to write something with the Timebender!
Beautiful track at start.
Seems Gilmour and Edge are still the 'yard stick' by which these things are measured. I noticed the intro was had a feel much like the songs on Division Bell and Momentary Lapse in Reason (post Waters Pink Floyd). I noticed some really cool, unintentional sounds when you shifted between speeds. There was this... how do I describe it?... a low end (or high end) bump that had a distinct sound that was kind of cool. As far as midi control, one could also use any of the Helix line like the LT, HXFX, Stomp, or of course the full blown Helix among other such systems. Cool pedal, thanks for the demo!
Best intro music ever 😍
