2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Onyx Volume Swell is an adaptation of the BOSS SG-1 Slow Gear, first released in 1979. It's one

of the very first BOSS effects pedals and still among the rarest. It has notably been used by Adam

Granduciel (The War on Drugs) and Billy Corgan among others.

The Slow Gear can be described as an attack delay, automatic volume swell, or reverse compressor. It

mutes the signal normally, and once the signal level crosses a certain threshold it fades it in at a set rate.

The resulting effect is similar to using a volume pedal, providing a violin-like "attackless" onset of the

notes. Internally, it's more or less a tweaked noise gate-and in fact, the BOSS NS-1 Noise Suppressor is

a nearly identical circuit, just tuned for more sensitivity and faster attack.

It's a simple circuit, far from perfect in execution, but once you adapt your playing to its quirks, it's a very

unique effect that can add a new type of sound to your toolbox.

The Onyx is a direct adaptation of the SG-1 with one modification: we've added a Release switch that

selects between two additional time constants that determine how quickly the trigger resets after it

falls below the signal threshold. This offers a little extra flexibility to help accommodate different playing

styles and speeds. It seems to impact the swell speed as well, which extends the usefulness. More on this

in the build notes if you're curious.

USAGE

The Onyx has the following controls:

• Attack sets the speed of the volume swells. It's highly interactive with the Release toggle.

• Sensitivity sets the signal level going into the envelope detector.

• Release (toggle switch) sets the time constant of the "hold" on the signal, which also impacts the

onset speed of the swell. The stock position is in the middle, which is the fastest setting, while the

other two positions increase the swell time.
