Allan Holdsworth "swell tone"

[OmegaSlayer]

Hi guys, unfortunately I never have enough time in my hands to go deep into the fx possibilities of the PodGo, and I have never been a pedal/fx expert, so I don't know what I can achieve with what.

 

I was wondering if there's some kind of FX that is like the kind of electronic violin swell (I know it's a Midi guitar, but one can try to approximate) that sometimes Allan uses on his leads

 

Even how to achieve an auto swell would be interesting (without using the expression pedal)

 

Do you guys have any idea?

Or at least an fx which I should try to exploit?

Thanks

One of the models in the Dynamics section is called Autoswell. I would start with that.

Revivifying dead topic because, well, it's my question too!  I find that the Pod Go Autoswell function simply DOESN'T.

 

I have a need for a true fast volume swell, from 0 to full volume in 200ms.  In other words, completely remove the initial attack of the note.  My old Spider Valve had no trouble doing this, and I figured a new Pod Go would AT LEAST be capable of anything a 15-year-old amp could do.  Yet the "Autoswell" virtual stompbox doesn't seem to do much at all.  No matter how I set the various sliders, the pick attack is plainly still there.  I've tried it at the beginning of the chain, in the middle, at the end... no love.  Does anyone have any experience making this effect work?  I'd love some helpful advice.
