Autowah pedal with a slow sweep

Hi All,

I have a Bad Horsie Wah that I love. There are some songs that I play that require me to stand the pedal the whole time. My hip gets soar after awhile. Is there a pedal that will do a slow sweep between to adjustments. I am not looking for a pedal that will quack at me while I am picking the strings. I would like to be able to set the sweep speed too.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I am not able to find the schematics. Can someone point me in the right direction.

The MXR Envelope Filter does a nice job of handling slower attack times.  The schematic shows a 500k Attack pot but you can use a 1M and get some slightly (though not dramatically) slower attack times.

  Perhaps you'd like an LFO to sweep the wah ?
  The Neutron [GEO] uses LDR's to sweep the wah, hooking up an "LFO'd LED" would be pretty straightforeward, you have your choices of LFO's, the Tremulous Lune looks pretty versatile.
  Otherwise, and envelope follower will follow your 'attack rate', when the string is hit, input is high, the sweep rises, as the note decays, the sweep falls, the wah rate controlled by the picking rate.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Sorry, found it after I did a google search.

Is there something already built out there that will do what am looking for?
