Sneak Attack is a digitally controlled analog VCA pedal that can also be 

manually triggered or used in a tremolo mode. The core of the pedal is an 

Attack/Decay envelope generator with separate length and curve controls 

for both the attack and decay segments

, giving the user in-depth control 

of the shape of the envelope (or tremolo). 

The envelope can be triggered 

or  cycled  in  several  ways  using  the  input  signal,  built  in  footswitch,  Lil’ 

Buddy footswitch or external clock/click track. Lil’ Buddy also expands the 

feature  set  to  include  tap  tempo  and  additional,  unique  control  over  the 

attack and decay.
