tweed Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Saw a music video where the guitarist is getting volume swells without playing with the volume knob. Also heard a song on the radio where the swells seem kinda fast to be done with your pinky finger. Is that done with a volume pedal ?

0 gorch Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It’s a say that a volume pedal was involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jeff R Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Here's another effective tool for fast volume swells. The original is insanely priced but clones and affordable options exist. I had one in a Boss ME series multi-effects unit that did the same tricks just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bennyboy-UK Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I think it could be a volume pedal as well. However…. what I do is very very gently pick a note or a chord and then gently lift the guitar up towards my face and then scream at the strings as loud as I can and for as long as I can to MAKE THEM MAKE THE SOUND GET LOUDER. I sometimes keep screaming at them after the note is fading because it makes the decay last longer. Then I face the person who has come to see what going on and I scream in their face as well. seems to work. not sure it if would on fenders though 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tommy p Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 You can set up the green Line 6 DL4 delay pedals to do that. I used mine on Fooled Around and Fell In Love. I imagine there are other pedals other than a straight up volume pedal that could achieve the same results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
tweed
Saw a music video where the guitarist is getting volume swells without playing with the volume knob. Also heard a song on the radio where the swells seem kinda fast to be done with your pinky finger.
Is that done with a volume pedal ?
