Description

Step into a world of rhythmic exploration with the ZVEX Tremorama, a pedal that transforms your tremolo experience into a dynamic, sequencer-controlled journey. Designed for the experimental guitarist, the Tremorama offers the same foundational features as the Seek-Trem, but with a twist—an additional footswitch unlocks a random mode, delighting players with unexpected, syncopated patterns reminiscent of a glitchy guitar cable.

This pedal is built around an eight-stage sequencer, meticulously crafting each wave of sound. Its controls include a 4/6/8 step selector switch, a speed dial to adjust tempo, and eight individual sequencer volume knobs. Uniquely, these knobs operate in reverse for smoother adjustment, adding to the pedal's quirky charm. Turn them left to increase the volume or speed up the tempo; a design choice that encourages tactile exploration and interaction.

For seamless integration into your rig, the Tremorama features a true-bypass stomp switch. When engaged, it halts the sequencer at step one, ready to launch back into action the moment you activate the pedal again. This ensures your tone remains pure and uncolored when the pedal is not in use.

Whether you're seeking precise rhythmic patterns or unpredictable sonic adventures, the ZVEX Tremorama is your ticket to a realm of artistic creativity.

Key Features:

  • Eight-stage sequencer-controlled tremolo
  • Random mode for unpredictable patterns
  • 4/6/8 step selector switch
  • Reverse-operating controls for smoother adjustments
  • True-bypass stomp switch for tone preservation
  • Individual sequencer volume controls
