Description
Avail yourself of a unique and expressive effect for your guitar pedalboard with Crescendo Auto Swell from TC Electronic, a pedal which creates rolling and powerful volume swells like a bowed violin. With intuitive Sensitivity and Attack controls, you can adjust how long the attack time is for perfect swells that match any music style.What is Crescendo? Just like the musical term, crescendo means to start at a low volume and then swell to a much louder level, which is similar the sound of a violin being bowed. Now you get those sweeping swells from your guitar, without searching high and low for hard-to-find vintage gear.Subtle and Simple Thanks to just 2 knobs (Sensitivity and Attack) and a true bypass switch, Crescendo Auto Swell is easy to use and functions much like a noise gate, only in reverse. Instead of clamping down on the tail of your signal, Crescendo Auto Swell mutes the initial attack and then swells up to full volume. Put simply, it removes the pick attack and blooms into a beautiful swelling note.Roadworthy Housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, Crescendo Auto Swell was built to withstand years of daily abuse. The high-quality analog circuitry and true bypass switch respects your tone and keeps the signal nice and clean. So, whether you're creating pedal steel-like chord tones, the sound of foghorns cutting through the fog, or the sweet swelling strains of a violin section, Crescendo Auto Swell will cover it all.Flexible Power Options With support for either 9V battery or 9V power-supply input (both sold separately), the Crescendo Auto Swell will work with any pedalboard configuration. The pedal also sports top-mounted 1/4" I/O jacks, making cable routing more pedalboard friendly.
