Strymon Volante Delay

Delay for days: three vintage echo machines in one pedal!

Volante is a stereo multi-head delay that also offers a Sound on Sound mode and a vintage spring reverb algorithm.

The pedal features magnetic drum echo, tape echo, and reel-to-reel studio echoes.

Volante provides the full experience and sonic attributes of iconic multi-head echo machines.

Add tons of vibe to your sound: from the warm, harmonically rich sound of a magnetic drum echo to the pristine sound of a classic reel-to-reel machine!

Unlimited creative options right at your fingertips!

At the center of Volante are four delay playback heads with individual feedback, panning, and level controls.

All of this range allows the creation of complex rhythmic patterns as well as reverb-like atmospheric textures.

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!

Drum Delay With Unprecedented Control.

Every sonic aspect of our favorite drum echoes has been meticulously reproduced within Volante.

Magnetic drum echoes are famous for their warmth and for their harmonically rich and saturated sounds.

Dial in any possible sound from the full range of the best vintage drum echo units in conditions ranging from fresh-from-factory to road-worn classic.

Classic Tape Echo Experience.

Volante gives you superbly crafted multi-head tape echoes with modern control and stability.

Experience the smooth tape saturation and the characteristic imperfections and nonlinearities inherent to the sound of vintage units!

Mechanical alignment, head wear, and tape crinkles, splices, and contaminants are all accounted for in Volante.

Volante also allows you to recreate the irregular head spacing of some of the classic tape echo machines.

True Studio Tape Sound.

Volante gives you a pristine studio delay with the full-bodied warmth and fidelity of reel-to-reel tape.

The professional reel-to-reel machines of the 50s and 60s were high-fidelity units built to accurately reproduce full-range audio signals.

In the hands of creative engineers, these machines also doubled as some of the earliest studio effects, producing some of the fattest sounds imaginable.

Of Volante’s three magnetic echo types, the Studio Echo provides the cleanest sound: able to sustain the highest number of repeats with minimal degradation.
