Electro-Harmonix PICO ATTACK DECAY Tape Reverse (EHX Demo by BILL RUPPERT)

Seductive swells and reverse tape effects push the envelope on any pedalboard! The original Attack Decay Tape Reverse Simulator is known for producing volume and reverse swells, backward tape sounds, artificially short staccato notes, and bowed instrument effects. In 2019 the digital Attack Decay reissue was released, and now the Pico Attack Decay gives us volume envelope effects in a simplified, compact package.

The Pico Attack Decay allows you to dial in volume swells and decays, both in Mono mode-one volume envelope for all notes you play-and the revolutionary Poly mode where each note to has its own volume envelope creating cascading swell effects and leads with agile attack smoothing. With intuitive functionality and simple controls, the Pico Attack Decay opens up creative avenues for any player interested in pushing the (volume) envelope.
The Pico Attack Decay is both powerful and simple with four knobs and a mode button that let you create a wide variety of effects. The ATTACK knob sets the swell or fade-in speed of the volume envelope while the DECAY knob sets the fade-out speed of the volume envelope. Set the ATTACK higher for languid volume swells. Set the DECAY higher for artificially staccato notes for synth-like punches. SENS adjusts the threshold for triggering the envelope. VOL controls the overall output volume. A hidden BLEND control allows you to blend wet and dry signals for even more flexibility in tone.

Very cool! Good to hear a new demo from Bill! Such a monster guitar player. That may be the first time I have ever heard someone play reverse in forward!

[@jesse2d]

This is brilliant. EHX keeps pushing the "envelope" coming up with useful tools.

[@rnemchev]

The best demos of EHX stuff!

[@timoti2]

I love the full size. version but heck this is gonna fit so much better onto my board, and i don't think i need the other features - just fantastic swell which no other maker has come close to.

[@luispereztasso]

NOW THIS IS A SURPRISE!!!!

[@ericgendell8874]

Came for the demo, stayed for Bill's fantastic musicianship. Beautiful, masterful playing. Thank You, Bill.

[@michaelscott2269]

Amen…Love listening and watching his seemly effortless playing. The ease of his string bends is amazing. Would love to know what strings and gauges he uses…! Magical, just magical Bill…!

[@alexschrodt]

My first thought: “I need to start copywriting my dreams!” Second thought: “but if EHX is making them come true, then never mind that…”

[@guyguyguyjean]

Love this demo, showing the settings for each example.The pedal steel alone made me order one ,got it today, can't wait!!Thanks!!

[@chrisparker5278]

Mike: develops the big muff half a century ago and dines out on that circuit ever since. To give Mike his dues the muff circuit is one of three defining tones of music. The deluxe bass big muff is the heart of my pedal board

[@paulbogan3400]

Some tasty playing (especially appreciated the snippet of Jeff Beck), and the pedal itself looks like a blast besides being smaller/more affordable than the OG Attack Decay. Nice!

[@nicksimms3771]

The biggest treat is seeing that beautiful AH-20 being played 😍

[@erikavery1105]

That one is extremely difficult to find!

[@Madmax-rz5hz]

Almost sorry I bought the full size one. Almost Bills demos are among the best on KZbin,

[@gwb19]

Let's go, Bill is back baby!

[@stevesmith3990]

Sounds very good, tempted by this.

[@SoundCastle00]

Looking forward to this and the Deep Freeze. Thanks fellas😊

[@sounDr.]

THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@mbaraka92]

Wow, Bill Ruppert is a master!

[@bakontrackz]

I am impressed!

[@jbognap]

Poly mode is impressive!

[@btvonders]

I would love a version that trades the decay knob for a post-swell tremolo effect!

[@LeeGee]

I know I'd never use it but it sounds so good I feel I have to get one....

[@flyleaf2424]

I like this new line of pedals! Make a mini muff lol!

[@jeffrytessier-uq1dc]

I said no more guitar pedals, I told myself...no more...I keep telling myself that, then this comes out.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

This is awesome.

[@filtermat]

Super cool!!

[@kimw994]

bravo EHX!!!🤗

[@karl1949]

Bill is in the house!!!

[@robin6416]

original one got more function and send/Return, but with poly mode still included, the pico version still a neat option for envelope type effect.

[@Tulio_Laanen]

the koto sold it for me, im gonna buy one

[@AlexHand]

I've been waiting a long time for the attack adjuster on a mini pedal. I wish it had the Q button like on the POG2.

[@thomasd9237]

Yep. I like it. Go ahead & ship it 👍 ☺️

[@MrJackrockerman]

Evolve every time. exh❤️🙌

[@MEGAMIGA]

Bill Ruppert!

[@cdshull]

Yup. I want this.

[@orchidoklast]

Poly mode on this one sound better and more useful than the last version

[@retromacman620]

Miss the presets of the older one, that made it more versatile live. This just makes me wish I hadn't sold my old one, lol. Sounds good though

[@LoveGuitar63277]

wonder if my lexicon can do that? need to dig around and find out

[@teddyboy252]

Amazing grace would sound great on this pedal

[@VangeliRock]

2:11, There you go, Jeff Beck tone in a box.

[@TheRealcdawg22]

#1

[@maurobelarde8527]

You're a trully guitar hero dear Bill but... I prefer the other. Many more functions and it's bigger. And bigger is always better. I miss the big boxes of the 70s, 80s and 90s.

[@zeusapollo8688]

Bring back rack

[@paulginaven7986]

God, sounded like mark knopfler on the swells.

[@leehenderson8132]

RIP MR JEFF BECK

[@edsknife]

When Guitar Center?

[@growskull]

how does this compare to the full size version?

[@demezzerate6769]

stupid question, but could i play full chords and still get volume swells ?

[@EHX]

Yes!

[@michaellevine5741]

Awesome--are these settings unblended, half blended--that's the only control setting not mentioned, so I'm assuming these are unblended pure effect--anyone know??

[@EHX]

It is all effect or you would not hear a volume swell.

[@erikavery1105]

😳WUUUUUUUUUUUT😲

[@fernandohidalgo9703]

Can you get tremolo effect with pico attack as in the previous model of Attack Decay?

[@EHX]

No only the larger one has that effect.

[@billbooney206]

Where would this go best in a pedal chain? I just bought one but don’t want to pull my board apart experimenting.

[@EHX]

Bill its best in front.

[@TheSponky]

besides size, whats the difference between this and the larger Big Uncle pedal?

[@EHX]

Fuzz and memory and a few other features. Best to watch both videos. Manuals are at ehx.com

[@joeed5656]

The bigger one also has expression in, important feature for me but I still REALLY want this pico one😊. Good job EHX

[@Sancho_Retablez]

It's just me or it's better than the (relatively) old Attack Decay?

[@afc_pfo]

BUT HOW DOES IT SOUND ON THE BASS???

[@EHX]

GREAT

[@spacesuitor]

He's a 6-string wizard It has to be a trick The 6-string wizard's got a subtle lick....

[@RustyRaceHorse]

That’s how you sell pedals.

[@Supernautiloid]
