Get violin swells with the new EHX Pico Swello pedal

Electro-Harmonix releases the Pico Swello Attack Envelope as a compact effects pedal based on their POG2 Attack slider design. Musicians can apply polyphonic volume swells across single notes, arpeggiated passages, and complete chord structures. The device produces smooth violin-style attacks and bold dynamic effects through its integrated low-pass filtering system. Players access comprehensive tonal shaping through this versatile envelope processor. The pedal transforms standard playing techniques into expressive musical statements.

Four control knobs manage the pedal's functions across different musical applications. VOL adjusts the final output level while ATTACK determines envelope duration from quick softening to extended builds. The FILTER button activates low-pass filtering with FREQ managing cutoff frequency and MOD controlling modulation intensity and direction. MOD settings above or below center position create ascending or descending filter movements. These controls combine to deliver professional envelope effects for diverse musical styles.

The Pico Swello ships with a nine-volt power adapter and reaches retailers during mid-September 2025 at $149.50 street pricing.
