We’re launching a Sneak Attack from Malekko Heavy Industry. Malekko has taken the simple concept an attack decay filter and expanded it to never-before explored frontiers. The Sneak Attack delivers automatic volume swells and otherworld filtering effects by offering the player’s choice of attack and decay waveforms. 25 different selectable waveform combinations control how your guitar signal fades in and out, from lush, violin-like swells to staccato chirps. The attack and decay time of each waveform side can be set individually, for swells and decays of any length. The sensitivity at which the Sneak Attack reacts to your playing is controlled by the sensitivity, which doubles as a tap multiplier when using the Lil Buddy footswitch. LFO mode turns the Sneak Attack into a full-featured tremolo, letting users cop several classic trem sounds by adjusting both sides of the waveform and skewing each one with the Attack and Decay Length controls. In this mode, the Level knob controls the rate of the LFO, and by using the optional Little Buddy, you can add tap tempo control to the Sneak Attack. In Manual Trigger mode, only the Attack curve and knob are active, and clicking the switch once delivers a flawless swell with no decay once it reaches full volume. In this mode, the Little Buddy can be used as a remote swell including attack and decay. Like all Malekko pedals, the Sneak Attack is made deal within a dark place right here in Portland Oregon.
