Don't think this one is leaving. I've regretted selling my El Cap, and this thing is the pedal I always wanted the El Cap to be!

Good! The minute Strymon posted this I was excited. I have a timeline right now, but also retain a RE-201 and have use of a few other legit tape echos.
Your tone with the Volante is beautiful! I've only allowed myself two pedal purchases for 2019, this might be one of those two if I can be patient
I think this just bumped the Boonar from the board - and maybe the Dig (for now - too much in that little guy to let it go)... the only problem is reconfiguring for the upgraded real estate need. Life is rough 
What an amazing unit and as always awesome demo!

I don’t know, i was watching that pedal show comparison of it and other tape echoes. Can’t say it blew the boonar away, or my el’capistan. But the expanded functions of the sound on sound is pretty cool.
So I really enjoy that pedal show, but they always seem to get overwhelmed by pedals with more than 4 knobs. They REALLY didn't show off the volante well in my opinion. They had the wear above noon almost the whole video which rolls off a ton of high end, and they never left the spacing on even. All the echorec delays are even spacing. Also during the session where they were trying to match the space echo settings the rhythm was obviously heads 3 and 4 with even spacing, but they left all 4 on and on the golden ratio setting, and yet again, way too high of wear setting.

I honestly have no room for this pedal on my board, but would happily carry it to hand it off to sound engineers for live dub delay. Right now if we do that it's my RE-201 or our Echoplex, and many live sound guys carry RE-20's for such use. This would be the perfect pedal for that (and stereo)... and it has all the 'tape tricks' that you can't really get from others, like many of the tape speed/pause effects.
Another Volante Snippet. Some long 'tape' repeats with lots of feedback. Gorgeous pedal.
Does anybody else do this.... get halfway through the demo and think "okay, this one probably isn't for me but...." and then jump to the end to hear the craziness?
I usually have purchased the pedal by the mid point of @Proton Lenny demos...trying to resist watching this one.
Life's been absolutely insane but I'm back and finally getting to a few things that have been on my shelf for a bit. First up Spaceman Gemini IV!
Two new demos!

As I was piecing the board together this little jam got stuck in my head.
Hey @Proton Lenny any thoughts on the SolidGoldFX Lysis? It's a synthy octave, fuzz, filter/modulator, which seems right up your alley.
Wow...that one wasn't on my radar either. Looks kinda tasty. Sounds amazing on guitar...couldn't find a bass demo that made me feel it in the wallet like protonlenny's do.
