Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

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.
The Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight Plus is a cocked talking wah and fuzz pedal that builds on the original Cock Fight with a rugged, lightweight design and a traditional rack-and-pinion treadle mechanism. It contains two expressive filters: a traditional wah filter and a formant filter for vowel-like talking effects, plus a lively fuzz section that can be placed before or after the filter or removed entirely. As a wah it is smooth and even with a sweet quack reminiscent of a classic Cry Baby, cleaner in the treble than many budget rivals, and adding fuzz exaggerates the effect with more bottom end and saturated gain. Routing the fuzz after the filter gives classic rock tones, while placing it before yields synth-like textures. It suits rock and experimental players wanting wah, talking filter, and fuzz in one unit.
