Not a very usefull effect in my opinion. Had one for a week and traded it for an Ibanex PT1000 phaser pedal. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 From what I understand it basically does a volume swell both ways -- it is set up like a wah wah--- move the rocker up, it swells, cuts off with a click sound, move it back and you get another volume swell with a click at the end, etc... is this how it works? Seems like a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dotlikeimpact Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I had one. It was a total waste of time. A volume pedal with a click at one end. Then it would reverse the taper and do it again. The swell wasn't at all like tape reverse, and the click sounded like a cable was failing. It was pointless.

Members dangerous dan Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I got a feature on my POD 2 called delay-swell (or something like that) which make you sound like your playing backwards. If play the right kind of thing it sounds awesome, used it at a few gigs on the outro on the end of the last song, get a great response from the audience.

Members outofmoney Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I owned one, to "experiment" on my sounds. THIS PEDAL IS A COMPLETE PIECE OF {censored}. There's an annoying CLICK everytime the pedal is pressed all the way to either side. It's a reverse tape simulator in that it cuts the volume in and out. That's literally all it does. Complete piece of {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
