    A volume pedal gives more control of the swell and goes to zero in an instant.
    You can vary the rate of the swell with your foot to match the phrase you are playing.

    I was wondering why you use a volume pedal to swell the chords, instead of using the pog2 attack control ?

    Hi all,
    I have an old school POG. I was wondering if there was a chart template version to achieve some of these amazing mellotron sounds with the first generation POG. Any help would be awesome.
    Thanks!

    The string sound should work fine if you use the setting for the POG above.
    The flute sound may be a bit harder as I used the attach feature on the POG2 and the original POG does not have that.

    The original POG is great as it get a a wonderful grind or distortion when the input slider is pushed
    doing organ sounds.

    What is the setting on the Q buton.

    I use the LPF at 70% cause I feelt It was too bright sounding even at flat setting (I got a Vox/Fender Kind of amp, all tube fender kind preamp and Vox AB power amp).

    I found that pushing the attack filter at 40% I can get the bright bite to disapear. I use the volume pedal to swell the chords (more difficult because of the filter but Im getting better at IT)

    I think it was the second Q settings.
    But experiment as different guitars will give different results.
    I am thrilled you are getting the sound!

    Hi all,

    Question for Bill : is the very first sound (from 0:30 to 1:15) in the Mellotron Effectology video done with guitar pedals? Are they the same settings as the other two examples? I see how to get the sound for the flutes and brass + strings but that first one sounded different to me. Thanks for all you do! Cheers!

    That is a HOG in freeze mode going through a Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai.
    The delay was in delay-mod mode.
