Zvex Tremolo Probe

Zvex · pedal

The Zvex Tremolo Probe is a theremin-controlled tremolo pedal from Z.Vex Effects (Minneapolis, Minnesota), using a proximity antenna (theremin-style) to control tremolo speed — the closer a foot or hand moves to the antenna, the faster the tremolo oscillates. Like the Wah Probe and Fuzz Probe in the Z.Vex probe family, it eliminates conventional depth/rate knobs in favor of gestural, proximity-based speed control for expressive, hands-free tremolo variation.
