ZVex Tremorama

www.ProGuitarShop.com-The ZVex Tremorama Tremolo Pedal is much like the Seek-Trem, only with the addition of a random mode switch that gives you a cool, bad-cable-cutting-out kind of sound. Crazy analog tremolo fun for the whole family! Garaunteed you've never heard a Tremolo like this. Set up like a step-sequencer, the ZVex Tremorama continues the legacy of completely off-the-wall effects and sonic mayhem that made Z.Vex famous.

Plug your guitar (or any effect's output) into the right hand input jack. Plug the output into an amp or other effect's input. If the LEDs are not blinking, the Tremorama is bypassed. When bypassed, it sits and waits at sequencer step number 1 until you turn it on... then it starts in time at the present tempo and steps through each volume setting in series. In this way you can set up a sequence of different guitar volumes that create a rhythmic pattern which matches your performance or a series of volumes that sound like a swell or even echoes. For example, to create an echo-like setting, turn on the Tremorama and set the "spd" knob to a reasonable tempo and turn all of the sequencer knobs fully clockwise except for the first one. For hard tremolo, leave step 2 off, then set step 3 so it's noticeably quieter than step 1. Next, leave step 4 off, and turn step 5 until it's noticeably quieter than step 3. Step 6 stays off, step 7 is set to be quieter than step 5, and step 8 is also off. Now, when you turn it on, you get a series of tremolo pulses where each is quieter than the last and you hear a simulated "echo" as your guitar seems to get further away with each pulse.

Another fun way to use the ZVex Tremorama is to set up patterns that accentuate different parts of an arpeggiated performance. You can predictably cause the pattern to start exactly where you want it in the performance by stomping on the switch at the right moment, because the unit starts in time and always starts at the beginning of the sequence.

For very choppy sounds, turn up only step number 1 and turn all others off. If the "spd" control doesn't go fast enough, switching the pattern switch to "4" will double the rate. For patterns that play over a 3/4 time signature, you might set the switch to "6". The switch lets you limit the total number of steps to 4, 6, or 8. This way you can make faster and/or shorter patterns.

For a kind of "volume swell" effect, set the sequencer controls so that the first one just barely lets any sound through, and each successive one gets louder until the last one goes full volume.

No one says fun like ZVex Effects and the Tremorama is your ticket to the most fun ride in town!

What the fuck is a "65 amp Soho?"

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

The amp that a few fairly well known musicians are playing. Like, Bruce Springsteen, Rich Robinson, Keith Urban, Richie Sambora, Sheryl Crow, Peter Stroud, Joe Walsh, Steve Miller.

My favorite part is when Andy says: "Here's one of my favorite settings."

[melvinleethards]

Yes. Absolutely the best demos period. These guys do not waste our time.

[Jakeistoocool143]

@nolan83 Yarrrrrr, also known as expensive as helllllllllll. Which, in this case, is very expensive.

random sounds like my computer is lagging

[ottozing]

i need the random

[ThePencil901]

they should make a tremolo sustainer so it sounds like your strumming it in stead of holding the chord.

@icklebittymattykins

I'm guessing you've never listened to The Mars Volta, or any progressive or experimental music.

[Skateoftheunion]

@domokunbogle You couldn't be more right. I hate it so much when people say "this is stupid, and sounds stupid. Who would ever like this sound?"

[domokunbogle]

@stereodimension what do you define as "musical"? thats like saying "this burger tastes awesome, but isnt food" if those guys in the 60ies were like you we would never even come to know fuzz boxes or the likes... hendrix would've just sat back thinking "nah, my crazy bends and tonal experiments arent musical"..
