Input and Output Swell
The expression pedal can be used to give a volume swell, either before or after the effect. This
can be enabled either globally , meaning it is active all the time, or on a preset by preset basis.
You might want to use it before the effect to disconnect or reduce the input, and listen to the
effect die away, whereas after the effect it can be used as a volume control or to perform
fadeouts. This swell is normally used for expression purposes, and only reduces the volume - it
does not boost it.
You may want to disable any pedal parameter settings if you are using swell. This will be
done automatically if using Global Swell.
To set the Swell value globally, see System Mode. If a Global Swell is active, the option of
selecting it for presets will not be available.
Note that in Pre/Post and Wet/Dry Routing modes, Swell only affects the Wet channel.
Input and Output Swell are not active when the unit is Bypassed, but the unit will adopt the
swell value on leaving Bypass. The Swell values are reset to maximum when a new preset is
loaded.
