ghobish Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 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.

hurghanico Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Try the Auto-Vol. Echo FX (you can find it among the delay effects).. This model gives you two effects in one. A volume fade-in swell used for a bowing effect. The other effect is an echo, complete with tape-style wow and flutter modulation. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
