I can't see how it would be patented, although the name is probable trademarked.Who took my guitar?

They might be able to patent the name, but certainly not the concept.
Most envelope filters (or touch wahs) do this . . . the greater the signal from the guitar, the more it applies the effect. Most overdrive pedals work the same way too, harder picking will drive more clipping just due to the nature of how distortion works.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

The concept has been around awhile, but you don't see it much on modern pedals. This is not an on/off feature, either. It is as dynamic as your playing.Administrator of the SDUGF

The one I hear most often is a delay set with a much louder mix and higher feedback when you play hard.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener. Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

On the SD pedals, you can usually reverse the Dynamic Expression feature, too, so the quieter you play, the more you hear the effect. This is great for, say, intros of songs before the heavy part kicks in.Administrator of the SDUGF

It's a great effect to have on a reverb. It makes the effect much more natural, and as the name suggests, dynamic.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why

Dynamics expression already existed in 60s pedals like the FuzzFace (even an hammering on and pulling off do not yield the same level of distortion !)

Originally posted by IMENATOR View PostYep but having gradually more delay/chorus/reverb when you gradually back the volume to clean up your sound makes it very appealing to me, just to avoid pedal tap dancing, I even hate having to tap a single pedal because I am already busy switching pickups and dialing the volume knob.
