Designed around the ground breaking Memory Disc, an inventive solution to the the pitfalls of the magnetic tape, the Echorec gave Dr Bonfiglio Bini and his Binson company their most enduring legacy, utilised everywhere from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to the Amphitheatre of Pompeii. The original units are incredible but require regular servicing, aren’t always the most reliable, and are very very expensive.

Enter the Strymon Volante…

Strymon are well known for their mastery of digital effects, and the Volante is their absolutely stellar take on the classic Echorec. 

The full specs of this thing are pretty immense (check out the full details on Strymon’s website here) , and its capabilities are phenomenal. 

It sounds incredible, has stereo I/O and switchable line/instrument input levels, and has a couple of other classic delay emulations in there to boot.

This one is in really good but used condition, with a couple of minor marks here and there, and velcro already attached to the underside. It comes with the original box too.

If an echorec style delay has been on your shopping list for a while, this might just be the best way to do it…
