Sneak Attack with Lil'Buddy Expander

A digitally-controlled analog VCA pedal with the Lil’ Buddy expander.

Anaheim, CA (January 27, 2016) -- Following the successful releases of Scrutator and Charlie Foxtrot pedals in 2015 comes Malekko's official NAMM announcement of their latest invention Sneak Attack and it's side-kick Lil’ Buddy. Sneak Attack is based on their new digital pedal platform and has been designed with every intention of pushing boundaries or in this case, the envelope.

The core of the pedal is an Attack/Decay envelope generator with separate length and curve controls for both the attack and decay segments.
