Electro-Harmonix Pico Swello Attack Envelope Pedal (EHX Demo by Tom Burda)
One of Electro-Harmonix’s most popular effects, there are many reasons to love the POG2. One major reason being its unique attack filter, applying attack envelopes to each individual note played whether in single notes or in a chord. This creates a very musical, multi-voice effect that’s extremely adaptive to any musical style. This polyphonic attack filter is the core of the PICO Swello generating polyphonic and reverse sounds with the addition of a modulated low-pass filter for even more expressive tones.

Implemented subtly, the Swello adjusts your guitar’s attack to sound smooth and flowing even while playing fast lines and arpeggios. Laying on the effect more heavily creates dramatic swells perfect for shaping gently shifting ambient soundscapes and synth style pads.
The simple 4-knob control layout is easy to drive starting with the heart of the pedal, the ATTACK knob. Turn up ATTACK to go from a quick, gentle attack time to slow, long swells. VOL controls the overall output and is useful for making up for the perceived low volume of long attack effects. The rest of the controls apply to the Low-Pass Filter. The Filter Button engages the LPF with adjustable low and high resonance settings. The FREQ control adjusts the cutoff frequency of the LPF. The MOD knob controls the depth and direction of the LPF envelope for upward or downward filter sweeps over a narrow or wide range of frequencies limited by the cutoff frequency. The LPF’s modulation timing is tied directly to the ATTACK knob setting. Combining the LPF with the Attack Envelope brings added musicality and expressiveness to fan-favorite effect, now in its very own pedal.

This pedal is absolutely ridiculous! Ordering one up right now!!
rosenwinkel should get a cut for every unit sold hahahaha
It's really cool but it's half the price of the pog2 so it doesn't really make alot of sense to buy only the filter when you can get the whole thing for the price of two.
Tom, your demos make me wanna buy every pedal. Seriously you’re the man. this demo caused me to go back and watch others in this series. Demos are all so good!
But I’m digging the idea of getting this and the pico pog for a tiny pog2 type of thing
Incredible demo of a pretty remarkable pedal
What's the difference between this and the Pico Attack Decay pedal?
Where in your chain should this go
Does it have a pedal steel simulation?
This effect also comes close to a kind of violin sound i think
Great company. Can't get enough.
Genius idea for a pedal! I bet this will sell like butter.
Playing is outstanding! Wise choice going with Tom Burda … really brings out the best qualities of a great pedal. Great job to all involved!
2001 and Fire on the mountain bust outs ! this is awesome
Give this guitarist a raise! Pedal sounds great. It's (mostly) a niche type effect but very pretty.
That's how you do a freaking pedal demo! This guy is a monster player!! ????
Adding a Dead riff ????????
Dropping a Phish 2001 riff ????♥️????????????????????????????
This is awesome! More than this one, I'm wanna to have attack decay
This could make a cool fretless sound
Can ya get close to those Hendrix backward guitar sounds ? Regardless im going to get this thing sounds fun !
Bet that does the best pedal steel effect. Can't wait to try one out.
Suuuuuuper cool… and that playing is sublime
Just when I thought I was done chasing pedals.
Wow!
another banger from ehx
This is the pedal I've been waiting for EHX! I have a POG on my board exclusively for its magical attack filter. This is going to save me a ton of space on my board. Sold!
cant find one of these yet
Amazing pedal, amazing player ???????? Thanks EHX!
