Oh, I was guessing SG-1 clone as well but you guys are probably right.

Yeah, I've got a POG2 and love it, but again, too big for the space I've got and too many other features I'd rather be using. Hmmmmm...

I dunno if these Slow Gear type pedals will work for you, if you're using drones (there's no attack to modify, with a drone) unless you are turning the drone on and off more than once. Once the drone is running, the Slow Gear pedals don't do anything (except maybe taper your release). Wouldn't a sequencer do that too, and maybe be more powerful for other uses too?

I think all of the pedals mentioned would have a max swell time of around a second or less.

Yup, I'm getting that sense too. I may be barking up the wrong tree here. Ah well.

What's the max time on the tremolessence? Maybe the slowest setting, sine wave, with the ramp up function?

I traded mine.

Ah, right, good thinking goroth!
Or the Zvex Loop Gate maybe?

doesn't fit ANY of the criteria bug the WP-20G (and the VG series) had poly- swell

really nice if you play fingerstyle

question

One thing I don't like about a lot of the "slow gear" type swell FX(which are basically modified noise gates)
is no pluck detection.
ideally - you'd look at the transients and reset the swell on pluck (a big tansient spike)
I'm not sure if you can link the Rocktron prophesy up to a swell

I hate to say it, but best bang for $ is probably...
