Electro Harmonix Pico Swello

Electro-Harmonix Pico Swello - Polyphonic Attack Envelope & Filter Pedal

With the Electro-Harmonix Pico Swello, EHX brings the unique attack envelope effect of the popular POG2 into an ultra-compact housing - extended by a modulatable low-pass filter for even more sound variety. Whether smooth volume swells, polyphonic reverse effects or expressive synth pads - the Pico Swello opens up new creative expression possibilities for guitarists, bassists and sound tinkerers.

Polyphonic swell effect with a musical character

The polyphonic attack filter takes center stage, providing each note - even in chords - with an individual envelope. This creates natural, flowing swells, ideal for ambient, post-rock, fusion or modern pop productions. The sensitivity of the attack time can be infinitely adjusted from fast to slow increases using the ATTACK control.

Filter modulation for even more expression

At the touch of a button, the FILTER switch activates the built-in low-pass filter, which operates in two resonance stages (low/high). The FREQ control regulates the cutoff frequency, while the MOD control determines the modulation depth and direction - for lively sweep effects that are directly linked to the attack time. This turns every sound into a means of expression with depth and movement.

Intuitive operation in a compact format

With just four controls(VOL, ATTACK, FREQ, MOD) and a switch for the filter, the Pico Swello is extremely easy to use. The buffered bypass design ensures clean signal routing - even in complex effects chains. Thanks to the mono audio and compact pico chassis, the pedal fits on any board.
