The Donner Dynamic Wah is an envelope filter and auto-wah pedal from the Chinese budget effects manufacturer Donner, delivering pick-attack-responsive filter sweeps for funk, rock, and expressive playing. Simple Sensitivity and Range controls adjust the envelope filter response to the player's picking dynamics. Budget-accessible pricing from Donner.
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Swello is a compact auto swell pedal that slows the volume envelope of your playing to create smooth volume swells, working polyphonically so chords as well as single notes swell fully. Beyond classic violin like swells, it can generate envelope filter and wah like textures, big synth style pads, and even act like a compressor to soften picking irregularities. With simple controls in a tiny enclosure, it delivers expressive, ambient swell effects effortlessly. It suits ambient, post rock, cinematic and pedal steel style players who want hands free polyphonic volume swells, pad textures and attack smoothing in a space saving pedal without manually working a volume pedal.
