Volante Magnetic Tape Echo Pedal

Strymon Volante Magnetic Tape Echo Pedal

Strymon's Volante is a multi-head tape delay and spring reverb pedal that does everything from washy atmospheres to layered Frippertronics, extreme feedback, and beyond. Similar in concept to their modern classic Magneto Eurorack module, the Volante presets a four-head tape delay architecture with options for sound-on-sound looping, spring reverb, and more. Musicians can introduce variable amounts of mechanical malfunction and tape wear for the sound of true vintage gear, while individual controls for level, feedback, and panning for each head offer the tools needed for endlessly rich soundscapes. Three delay types and control of head spacing provide additional control for timbral quality and rhythmic structure, while integrated reverse and tape stop effects provide access to classic tape techniques conspicuously missing from most delay pedals.

The Volante is the next in a long line of simply spectacular products from Strymon, this time offering the experience of multi-tap tape delay in a package irresistable to any guitarist, synthesist, or producer seeking superior sound.
