TC Electronic Crescendo Auto Swell 2-Knob Guitar Pedal
Every once in a while an effect arrives ahead of its own time, and before guitarists can figure out what do with it, it’s no longer available. As a result, and in spite of their high retail price, they become extremely valuable because of their rarity. TC Electronic CRESCENDO AUTO SWELL brings one of those iconic and rare effects back to life. They’ve made it readily available, affordable and built to withstand a lifetime of abuse.
A Rare Bird
Just like the musical term, crescendo means to start at a low volume and then swell to a much louder. Specifically, it’s similar to the sound of a violin being bowed. Now you get those sweeping swells from your guitar, without searching high and low.
Subtle and Simple
Thanks to just 2 knobs (Sensitivity & 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. Afterwards, it 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 was made just for you!
Crescendo Auto Swell Key Highlights:
