{"product_id":"tc-electronic-crescendo-auto-swell-308346","title":"Crescendo Auto Swell","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Cult\" Auto Swell Updated for Today\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the world of guitar effects, auto swell is one of those brilliant ideas: erasing the pick attack and letting the note \"appear\" gradually, as if you were controlling the volume by hand. The CRESCENDO AUTO SWELL follows this tradition of effects that have become rare over time, bringing back this unique sensation in a modern format, easy to adjust and built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and What It's For: From Violin to Ambient, Effortlessly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pedal is aimed both at beginner guitarists who want to quickly achieve clean pads and at experienced musicians looking for an inspiring tool for arrangement. In clean settings, it transforms chords into airy pads; in crunch or lead modes, it helps achieve more \"vocal\" and cinematic note attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt excels in post-rock, ambient, worship, pop, and soundtrack music but can also add a very musical touch to blues and rock when you want to smooth the attack and make the sustain \"sing.\" In the studio, it's an excellent way to free up space in the mix (fewer transients); live, it delivers a spectacular sound without foot choreography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and Ergonomics: Two Knobs, Immediate Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CRESCENDO AUTO SWELL keeps it simple with an interface featuring \u003cstrong\u003e2 potentiometers\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e control determines how the pedal reacts to your playing and signal level: ideal for adapting to single coils, humbuckers, or a chain with boost\/overdrive. The \u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e control manages the swell speed: short to retain bite, long for a bow-like note entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts operation can be understood as an \"inverted gate\": instead of cutting the note's end, the effect attenuates the beginning then lets the note swell to its natural level. Result: you get almost violin-like lines, regular swells, and a more legato playing feel, especially effective with delay and reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding integration, the \u003cstrong\u003etop-mounted jacks\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitate wiring and optimize pedalboard space. A dedicated footswitch manages bypass, with a status LED for clear visibility on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CRESCENDO AUTO SWELL's character is primarily defined by its ability to \u003cstrong\u003emask the attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and give the sensation of a note \"coming from nowhere.\" At moderate settings, the effect remains very musical and natural: dynamics are smoothed without making the playing sound artificial. Increasing the Attack leads to more cinematic textures, perfect for intros, lead themes, or breathing chord layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaired with lush reverb and well-set delay, the pedal becomes a pad machine: each chord unfolds gradually, without pick noise, leaving the field open for atmospheres. Placed before distortion, it produces thicker, singing swells; placed after, it can deliver cleaner, more controlled swells depending on your chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAuto swell (automatic volume rise)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTop-mounted\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBypass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTrue Bypass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMetal, very robust design\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:11;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSensitivity, Attack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e132 x 74 x 58 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:12;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFootswitch Effect Bypass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e0.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:13;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e\u0026quot;Effect On\u0026quot;
