One of my New Year's resolutions for 2026 is to do more vocal work. I genuinely love singing, and it's a muscle I want to grow. So, my journey (as most do) is starting with copying (ie. covering) some of my current favorite songwriters as a way to cut my teeth in both the vocal performance side AND the engineering and mixing side. So here we go! Enjoy this tune from one of my favorite singer-songwriters I discovered in 2025. π»

![My favorite looper pedal is a tape echo. [Strymon Volante sound-on-sound]
Last year I hard-committed to having the Strymon Volante on my board for one main reason: its sound-on-sound mode. Dont get me wrong, I like the tape echo sound on Volante (and will probably do a comparative look at it and the El Capistan soon...) but I LOVE that you can so quickly and easily access an entire world of sound on sound looping at the touch of a button.
For me , that feature has become incredibly valuable (and fun!) tool both live and in the studio. So today were going to talk about how I use Volante to create textural ambient loop beds as foundations to my ambient guitar writing. Drop any questions you have in the comments , and chime in with your favorite bits about Volane too!
