If you are looking to add some texture to a tune or turn your guitar into an organ, a good place to start would be with a volume swell. Just drop the volume when you strike the string (this will mask the pick attack) then raise the volume and let it ring. The delay pedal will sustain the sound so that you can drop the volume and play a note/chord again. You don’t have to have a volume pedal you can just as easily roll your guitar volume off. This is just another great way to expand your guitar’s horizon.
