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 Smokin' Amp Co. Micro V Envelope Filter (V2) is a boutique envelope filter pedal that automatically sweeps a resonant filter based on playing dynamics, producing funky, vocal-like auto-wah textures without needing an expression pedal. Built by Smokin' Amp Co., a boutique builder known for constructing well-regarded circuit designs, the V2 revision reflects continued refinement of the Micro V envelope filter platform.
