Let’s Compare the Spring Reverb on the Strymon Volante & el Capistan and See Who Wins!!!

- @strymon has been strong in the delay game for over a decade. The el Cap is an incredible dTape delay that I had in my board for years! And as if it couldn’t get any better, the Volante shows up and gives the el Cap a run for its money in the world of stereo magnetic tape delay sounds.
On board each of these delays are stand alone spring reverbs at the end of each circuit. A nice little addition to incredible delays but how do those reverbs compare? Are they identical? Or are they vastly different?
This one here is a request by one of our collaborators. We always welcome video requests. If you’re curious about something you’re probably not alone!

Hey thanks so much for the comparison! I asked and you delivered! I was surprised to check UA-cam again to see my wish came true!
El cap v2 seems much for Hifi/Cleaner.
Volante is definitely grittier/Lofi.
They are a lot more different than I would have suspected!!!
You’re most welcome! Thanks for the suggestion! We’re happy to do such things when we can and this was a great idea!
Yeah I thought they’d be more similar too. I totally get it that they’re not, but was a little surprised. It was a great thing to realize!
Cool ! Something to keep in mind is that the Volante's Spring has a secondary ajustement for decay in the "Live Edit Functions". Apologies if this was mentioned and I wasn't paying attention. Cheers
That was not mentioned! Thanks for bringing it up!
These comparisons are always so enjoyable and well done. I applaud you for doing these long 'one-take' style demos. I have a TL as my main delay. The Strymon stuff is just so unreal sounding. These are very similar, but definitely different flavors. The Volante has more of that high-end 'drip' sound and the El Cap is more 'bodied'. The El Cap sounds almost dead-on to my 2-spring medium length, medium decay reverb tank. The Volante sounds like a long tank. Just my thoughts when comparing various actual spring reverbs.
Hey thanks so much for weighing in as compared to "real" spring reverbs! Which is your preference if you had to choose?
Also, thanks so much for the words of affirmation in what we're doing here. Always great to get a pat on the back :)
Awesome. Would love to see your comparison on the delays too. Have the El Cap, but Volante is very tempting
I believe the el Cap has moved on but if we have it still would be glad to!
El Capistan v2 is absolutely amazing sounding i have both pedals but the Volante is more versatile to dial in, on El Capistan anything after 11 o'clock is just to much but both are glorious
Both are indeed glorious! I’m interested in seeing how the el Cap plug in compares to the pedal! Did you see Strymon just released that?
@@thepedalcollaborative I did yes, cannot wait to get it, I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪 saw this video on Facebook 👍🏼
@AndrewMooreLearningLicks glad you found us! Ireland is such a beautiful part of the world!
I plan to get the plug in so hopefully can have some comparisons on that front as well!
