Does this exist?

Something i thought of the other day, just wondering if something like this exists.

So you know the pedal that boss made, i think it was called slow gear. It basically senses the attack of the strings and fades in accordingly, which is nothing you couldn't do with a volume pedal/knob, i know, but it takes the hassle out of it.

Then, i thought about that little onboard overdrive system, i believe it was called the afterburner, possibly made by EMG. It's basically a button that you press on your guitar that i suppose gives the guitar more output and drives the amp more.

So i was wondering if anything existed that brought the 2 together? Has somebody made a button that you can install on your guitar that will fade in your notes when you are playing something atmospheric? I realise it's more of a guitarist thing, but knowing stuff is more of a bassist thing

Not that I know of, using the volume knob is so simple I doubt there's much demand for it. I assume the idea of the afterburner is to replace an OD pedal, making your setup simpler, reducing cost, and transferring more control to the guitar, an auto-fade in thing would be adding cost and gear to do something you can already do easily on the guitar.

Try getting one made at www.pedalprojects.com

Nice guy there called asgeir from Finland who will do it on the cheap.

I know the slow gear is not cheap.

However you can mod a boss NF1 to be a slow gear!

I'm selling a nf1 at the mo..

You could probably set up a patch to do this using a multi effects processor like a Lexicon MPXG2, TC Electronic GMaj or pretty much any unit made by either company since. Alternatively Native Instruments Guitar Rig will provide you with a way to play around with connecting effects up.

There's a Slow Gear 'pedal' on the Zoom B3

Yup, i have it. but i found all the effects worked better on guitar.

This is very true, but i'm not very adept at using any features on my bass/guitar whilst playing, that includes volume knobs and whammy bars. I just thought it would be a handy thing to have if i ever wanted a slow attack sound, maybe with treble rolled off to sound more like a fretless, then i wouldn't have to worry about rolling the volume knob back and forth while playing.
