Electro Harmonix Pico Attack Decay

The Pico Attack Decay brings the legendary volume envelope effects of the original Attack Decay Tape Reverse Simulator into a streamlined, compact format that fits perfectly on any pedalboard. Building on the success of the 2019 digital reissue, this simplified version maintains the core functionality that made the original famous for its volume swells, reverse tape sounds, staccato effects, and bowed instrument textures.

What sets the Pico Attack Decay apart is its revolutionary Poly mode, which creates individual volume envelopes for each note you play. This generates cascading swell effects and smooth attack leads that simply aren't possible with traditional Mono mode pedals. The Mono mode still provides the classic single envelope effect across all notes, giving you the best of both worlds in one compact unit.

Four intuitive knobs and a mode button give you complete control over your sound. The ATTACK knob determines your swell or fade-in speed, while DECAY controls how quickly notes fade out - perfect for creating synth-like staccato punches. SENS adjusts the envelope trigger threshold, VOL manages overall output, and a hidden BLEND control lets you mix wet and dry signals for maximum tonal flexibility. This straightforward approach opens up creative possibilities for any guitarist looking to push their volume envelope techniques further.
