    I've had the pleasure of watching Rabeas videos for a few years now, and he's helped relieve me of a fair few dollars particularly neuraldsp plugins, but the reason for this comment is to highlight just how I feel his playing has advanced, he also has a very astute musical mind IMO 😉

    Love how you go from wonderful soundscapes to beautiful strange sounds!
    But here is my question, maybe to anyone who can answer: I own a DD500 (yeah it needs some deep diving to really shine…) which you reviewed quite a while ago, which also has the spaceecho algorithm built in. I understand that the new pedal is a much more accurate recreation, but, as I don‘t own one, I have to ask, do you really hear such a difference? Is it less digital? Is the „tape-effect“ more accurate?
    Somehow that’s some kind of problem for me with boss pedals, as they tend to bring out stuff regularly, but somehow I always miss something.
    For example: the UA starlight, more expensive, less functional, but some outstanding sounds (god, that aged effect….!!!)walrus audio D1v2, instant buy! Here, hmmm, I am missing some „omg“-sound/moment whatsoever, which would make it stand out more.
    I guess it depends on what you want, for what application and setting!
    Anyways, great review, thanks for the wonderful playing!

You can make angels singing sound by maxing most volumes at same time. Like you would hear in an old Hercules movie when he used his muscle tearing down buildings.. and I got that from guitar straight into 555, then 555 into one of the older peavey acoustic amps. Just hold a basic cord and fast finger pick strings. You’ll be amazed when you here it.

    does anyone who has this think it's just as good as a volante or can at least fill the shoes of a volante? I like the looks of the space echo, I like the sound, but I also like the sound of binson style delays which you can get from the volante...plus I like the individual feedback heads. I dunno it's a hard decision and i def don't have money for both.
    Im trying to do both pink floyd sounds like from echoes and stuff, and this can get pretty close, and some radiohead sounds and just mixing them with other weird effects and synth pedals and weird reverbs and the such. I guess i could always sell one and get the other if I don't like one. If this were $100 cheaper....it would make my decision for me.

    • @GeordieGuitarGuy
      @GeordieGuitarGuy Рік тому

      Volante's strength is the Drum Echo - its designed really to emulate an Echo Rec. The tape side of things isn't as good as the El Capistan (probably deliberate otherwise no one would buy the El Cap V1 or V2). The El Capistan is the real comparison to this unit. The Strymon is probably more consumer friendly with the modulation and ambience on the decay but this one seems more accurate to a vintage unit.

      No I don’t think so. As I say in the end of this video. They shouldn’t really be compared in my opinion. Other than comparing the delay tone itself against one of the delays in volante. But then RE-202 is really a modern recreation of the original, whereas volante offers all sorts of other things like a looper and Multiple different delay algorithms. So I guess I think they’re sort of too different to directly compare.
