The intro of Tear Down the Walls uses lots of volume swells which add to to the meditative mood. Here's a vid on it, instructions written in the video itself.
rinse and repeat! haha good job thanks that was very helpful =)
i kinda prefer using the volume knob cos you swell into the distortion, increasing the amount of gain of the dist as you swell up, making an edgier sound as it gets louder
Kenny, during the video did you keep the notes in that same order...is it just repeating this sequence on the B-string over and over again? B|---1--8--5--8--3--5--3--1--8--3--5--1-- It sounds different in the video.
Volume swells sound great with a delay. I normally use my clean tone with an Analog delay set to your taste. Use the delay repeats & the mix level to 'bloom' the sound as you bring the volume up. I also use a second delay to add more ambiance depending on the song.

Publish the patch for XT Live or give me the settings of delay, amps, etc. Thanks in advanced bro.

I'm not sure but I think he uses an Ebow for the intro part. It sounds great this way too, though.
what gadget are u using ^_^
for anyone using a POD XT Live these are the settings i prefer
Amp - Spinal Puppet
Stomp - Auto Swell (everything 100%)
Mod - (optional) Sine Chorus 3.70Hz, depth - 30%, mix 45%
Delay - multihead, half note, feedback 80%, mix 80%
hope this helps. the auto swell avoids you from having to mess with the volume knob.
oh my goodness, those pod settings for a swell patch are amazing!
thanks so much!
you're very welcome. hope it helps
What if you are using single petals? I always hear guitarists doing these swells and making them sound so good, but I cant figure it out.
