I would like to create a "swell up" effect for my bass in an HD500. I was hoping I could do this with a noise gate set for a slow attack time, but it seems neither of the gates in this model HAVE a programmable attack time- just a volume threshold which when reached, opens very quickly.
I also thought of doing this manually with the volume pedal, but I would prefer the effect to be automatic.
What I am really trying to do is create a sort of "bowed bass" effect, or something that would serve a similar dynamic. I tried an Electro-Harmonix MEL9 pedal set to "cello, but that doesn't give you the dynamic, and it also doesn't handle the low frequencies of a bass well at all...
Any ideas? Thanks.
