Tremolo Probe
Unleash your inner sonic explorer with the Z. Vex Tremolo Probe – a one-of-a-kind pedal that blends the expressive control of a theremin with the gritty warmth of a Super Hard-On circuit. At its heart, this pedal is a dynamic tremolo effect, but the real magic happens when you interact with the massive copper plate that hovers over the top. By simply tapping, brushing, or waving your foot across the plate, you can manipulate the tremolo speed and intensity, creating mesmerizing rhythmic pulsations that are perfectly in sync with your playing. But the Tremolo Probe is more than just a tremolo – it can also produce haunting reverse volume swells and pedal steel-like effects, all controlled by the movement of your foot. The aluminum shielding underneath not only protects the delicate circuitry, but also helps to eliminate pesky ground hum, ensuring your tone remains pristine. Crank the drive knob on the back, and the Tremolo Probe will reward you with a rich, harmonically-complex distortion that's perfect for adding grit and character to your sound. Renowned for its unique and expressive nature, this pedal has been spotted on the pedalboards of adventurous guitarists like Jonny Greenwood, who has used it to add otherworldly textures to Radiohead's groundbreaking recordings.
