Seek-Trem
Prepare to be mesmerized by the Z. Vex Seek-Trem, a captivating tremolo pedal that takes the classic effect to new heights. Unlike conventional tremolo pedals, the Seek-Trem puts you in the driver's seat with an eight-stage sequencer that allows you to craft intricate, ever-evolving rhythmic patterns. At the heart of this pedal is a unique control layout that may seem counterintuitive at first, but quickly becomes an intuitive extension of your playing. The left-to-right controls include a step selector switch, a speed knob, and eight individual volume knobs for each step in the sequence. The kicker? You have to turn the knobs to the left to make them louder, which may seem backward but lends a smooth, tactile feel that allows you to fine-tune your tremolo with surgical precision. The true-bypass stomp switch adds an extra layer of creativity, allowing you to "freeze" the sequence at any point and resume when you're ready. This makes the Seek-Trem a versatile tool for everything from subtle rhythmic textures to mind-bending, pulsating soundscapes. While the Seek-Trem may not be a household name, it has found its way into the rigs of discerning guitarists who seek to push the boundaries of tremolo. Its unique character and expressive capabilities make it a must-try for any player looking to add a touch of the unexpected to their tone.
