Strymon is back with a new effect pedal that is green and based on vintage tape delays. It features three magnetic delay types (drum echo, tape echo, reel-to-reel studio), a looper and a vintage spring reverb. On top, it comes four onboard delay playback heads each with individual feedback, panning and level controls.
As with any pedal, the Strymon development team is taking a step forward with the features. In Volante it’s possible to dial in mechanically related speed fluctuations, payback head wear and adjust the spacing between heads. It comes also with performance & studio features like MIDI integration, up to 8 onboard presets, stereo panning, expression input and more. It looks a bit shrilly green, but it sounds excellent and unique again. Looking forward for more demos with synths.
