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.

was waiting for a thorough examination of those feature! thanks so much. damn.

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.

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

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!

absolute yum.

You should make a standalone looper pedal.

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

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.

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 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 it do high freqs cut?

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!

@strymon

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.

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?

The REC LEVEL on Volante is only applied to the repeats. They're also different algorithms altogether.

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... :(

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.

@@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.

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.

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! 😜

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.

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.

wow i mean just wow like wow wow wow

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 😢

Here's another take at it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZ2drLaRYpXgaNY.html

😱 Doc Martens 😂

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...
