So what is it? Well Volante is the ultimate magnetic Echo that will make everyone agree. Within this pretty olive green pedal, there are 3 types of magnetic delays with unique multi-head management: Drums, Tape and Reel-to-reel. The pinnacle of tape echo. With simply the best in tape echo and a fabulous recreation of the famous Binson Echorec. Please note, we are not talking here about a commercial adaptation as many brands could offer, just with a catchy name. But indeed a global analysis of an original concept, its understanding, its adaptation and its transformation into something even more powerful and inspiring than the original. Wait, that's not all! The icing on the cake, the Volante also includes a magnificent Spring Reverb and a Looper for the most creative among you.
The Volante is loaded with features that will allow you to capture all the nuances and complexity of machines of this type, recreating the atmosphere of the best albums of the genre, from Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin and others. Every detail, every physical and random phenomenon that makes up the mythical sound of magnetic machines has been skilfully integrated into this superb, totally unique delay. Besides, it's not just a delay for a guitarist, but a huge sound machine for all instrumentalists.
At the heart of the Volante, a control surface allowing access to 4 reading heads and as many possible interactions. You can create complex rhythmic patterns and totally unique and atmospheric moods and textures.
And the sound in all this? Simply the best machine of its kind. With an analog input stage and a 100% analog dry signal that has never been converted, it in no way alters the original character of your instrument and the rest of your audio system. Here, no drastic and unwelcome digital conversion, no noise, no outrageous attenuation... The Volante is transparent for your signal, natural and extremely musical. The original dynamics and response of the instrument (or otherwise!) are retained and the overall quality of the effect is equivalent to the best pro audio benchmarks of its kind (but for a fraction of the price!)
We could write hundreds of lines about the amazing qualities and possibilities of the Volante, but the easiest way is simply to try it. Because once your first layer has been created and turned on a loop, it's a safe bet that you will remain glued to its bewitching magnetic tapes and planing, almost infinite sounds...
