Volante - Magnetic Echo Machine
pg 3
Front Panel - Tonality
Selects between three available
magnetic media types.
drum: Steel wire spinning platter. Atmospheric
echoes emphasize the low-mid frequencies and
will saturate with hot signals or high feedback.
tape: Magnetic tape used in vintage echo
machines. Warm tape response with moderately
clean and airy signal path.
studio: Clean studio-grade tape used in reel-to-
reel units.

REC LEVEL
Controls the analog preamp gain of the signal fed
into the processor. When turned up, fat and saturated
signals are sent to the record head. Turn down for
cleaner delay signals.
Class A Analog JFET Input Buffer-Touch
response and dynamic interaction with your
guitar are optimized with a discrete class A
JFET buffer.
MECHANICS
Controls the amount of mechanically related speed fluctuations and media
irregularities, including: friction, creases, splices, and contaminants.
Set to minimum for a fresh, clean recording medium. Set to maximum for a
recording medium that is in need of service.
WEAR
Controls the wear of the media and heads which
affects the fidelity of the high frequencies. Set to
minimum for a fresh, full bandwidth sound.
LOW CUT
Controls the low frequency shaping of the echo
repeats. Set to minimum for extended low frequency
bandwidth. Set to maximum for extremely high-
passed repeats.
