Best BOSS Slow Gear clone?

Mooer? Other suggestions?

TC Crescendo. 
Behringer did a Slow Gear clone and TC have tarted it up and released it as the Crescendo. 
£27 I think .

Thanks. Just been reading surprisingly positive things about the Behringer.

The crescendo is awful. I'd happily sell mine for a tenner

The original Slow Gear was pretty poor so the Crescendo sounds like an accurate clone. The best ramp in fx i’ve used are the vle bumble bee (now discontinued but they turn up second hand occasionally) and the fade in function in pog2.

The swell function in the Zoom MS70 CDR is very good, plus you have the added fx and tuner and all can be had for @£50 used

Thanks for the suggestions. The Mooer looks like my best bet. I only want it for one track.

Friend of mine had a BYOC one that did the volume swell thing quite well. Can't remember what it was called but they can't do that many of them.

Google tells me it’s the Lazy Sprocket

Tried a few, and the Zoom was the best by a country mile, including the auto swell sounds on the Timeline and Line 6 M5. It’s that good.

Those Zoom units are fantastic value for money. I regret selling mine but will pick another up when I eventually find a job.

Great Slicer, Bitcrush, reverbs and delays, and some of the gains are even decent. Oh and the best reverse reverb I've heard from every one I've tried.

Nah, it’s pretty good when you get the sensitivity set right.

The Electro-Harmonix Platform can do that slow attack poop. Its compressor/limiter helps with the illusion.

Added to the list with thanks.
