Are there any FX that will create volume pedal swell effect while recording guitar?

Is there a way to set up a compressor or limiter, flanger or other so that while recording straight into my DAW (Studio One) I can get the feel of a guitar volume pedal ( as I don't have a pedal)? I know once I'm editing I can do fade ins and fade outs but wondered if there was a way to accomplish the feel while recording?

zoom h4

hi guys,
I have a delta 66 which is a pci interface that I use on a pc desktop. But often I seek mobility to record shows or even stuff on the road. Would you recommend using a zoom h4 for these applications? Would the quality be comparable to my interface using an external preamp with the analog ins of the h4?
Thanks,
João

Levels for Samples

If you are mixing down individual riffs and phrases for an audio program in which the user could select a guitar or keyboard part etc. to mix into their music, how warm do you want the levels?

Do you normalize it so it peaks at or almost zero db? Or would you want to leave several db headroom? Any input from you pros greatly appreciated. Thank you.
