Hey just wondering if theres any volume swell pedals out there? Just watched a vid where petrucci shows off his pedal board, and he has this setting with delay and volume swell and he got this awesome ambient sound which i want so bad. Would be great for my tunes. Anyone got any ideas? I know the digiverb has a "reverse reverb" thing which has a similar effect but, just wondering if there were stand-alone pedals that did this kind of thing. I've tried googling and searching my fav gear sites but all i get is volume pedals returned. That and the line6 echo park, which has a swell function on the echos , but not the notes played themselves.

Cheers
Petre

Sounds to me like a verrry subtle tremolo effect...

Didn't the Boss Slow Gear do a similar job? Build Your Own Clone make clones of that now. There is a Guyatone mini pedal too.

@ deg, nah its not really a tremolo effect. Petrucci said it was just volume swell and delay. was real tasty, made his guitar sound like a violin of sorts.

and YES! bingo the Boss slow gear did exactly that, and YES guyatone do a remake which is pretty damn handy! (wasnt keen on building my own clone!). Thanks willo
