It does the kind of fade in we all do or have tried by picking a note or a 

chord with the volume off on our guitar then faded it in. Done well you 

can even create a faux string section or play a riff on our lower strings 

and get a Cello effect. 

The problem is it is never fast enough to do a serious up tempo or complex 

melody. Yes with this you could play the Beatles Eleanor Rigby Cello parts.

The layout is VOLUME, ATTACK that swells in the notes fast or slow, FILTER that is a button with with 2 settings of high pass filter to cut back highs. 

Also FREQ that fattens the mids. MOD, modulation to get a more 

orchestrated effect like the kind created by cellos, violins etc.

            CONCLUSION

First this pedal is nano so it can squeak onto any board. The only way you could get this before know is from some guitar synths and gadgets that are all big bucks and often have a lot in them you do not need.  

I have a collection of keyboard synths that years ago I played 

to make music for infomercials. For a Rock guy this with dirt pedals, 

some verb and delay it can create a miracle or two for anyone. 

This is something both actually new but usable for all. It is not 

just a Shoegaze/Star Wars thing which often are musical 

flatulence. The price makes it a steal.
