Violin Effects Pedal or "other"???

Re: Violin Effects Pedal or "other"???

As a viola player myself, I suggest tolling the tone down, distortion/fuzz low but present, and try to pick softly as to smooth attack.

The real trick is to get a cello to sound like a guitar. My school orchestra has been trying to get rid of the guitar parts I play for years now, and it never sounds right.

or a volume pedal, no way you could swell each note on those fast runs. i think your best bet is to learn the part really well and just accept that you play guitar and not fiddle

Sure, it's impossible to nail fast runs that way. But it does work very well for creating violin-like tone.
