A Versatile Trem Pedal that Lives up to Its Name!

The Seymour Duncan SFX-07 Shape Shifter tremolo pedal delivers both the classic vibe of vintage tube amps and an incredible degree of modern control features. You can use the SFX-07 Shape Shifter's smooth modulation settings to provide subtle, classic effects, or use its control capabilities to match tempos or change the characteristics of the effect itself: go from percussive trem vibes to swelling, backward-tape-style tricks. This is one versatile trem! A pure analog signal path keeps your sound intact, while Depth, Shape, Wave, Rate, and Tremolo Rate functions make the SFX-07 Shape Shifter a versatile performer!



Seymour Duncan SFX-07 Shape Shifter Tremolo Pedal at a Glance:

• All-analog signal path, digital features
  
• Two modes
  
• A dizzying array of possibilities

All-analog signal path, digital features
A sonically pure, 100% analog signal path gives you the familiar lush, hypnotic, pulsing tremolo vibes characteristic of ‘50s tube amps. Digital tap control offers incredible control. Shape and Wave controls provide unparalleled versatility.


Two modes
You can choose between two modes of operation with the Shape Shifter. In Rate mode the tremolo speed varies continuously from one to 20 cycles per second. An LED pulses in time with the tremolo effect for easy Rate setting. In Ratio mode, the speed is established by tapping the Tap Rate switch, allowing for easy synchronization of the tremolo rate with the song tempo. Also, in Ratio mode, the tapped tempo can be expressed in your choice of four tap-to-note ratios: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1 (1/4 notes, 1/8 notes, triplets, or 1/16 notes).

A dizzying array of possibilities
The Wave control allows the tremolo effect to go from the smooth modulation of a sine wave through the sharper characteristics of a triangle wave to the abrupt on/off effect of square wave drive.
Most classic tremolos increase the volume over a certain period if time, say a quarter of a second, and then decrease the volume over a similar period of time. This gives a smooth, even feeling to the tremolo effect. When set to the middle of its range, the Shape Shifter’s Shape control does exactly that. But when the Shape control is rotated away from its center position, the relationship between the time spent increasing the volume and the time spent reducing the volume changes. For example, you can dial in one-tenth of a second of volume increase followed by four-tenths of a second of volume decrease, or vice-versa. This adds a very different feel to the tremolo effect. With quick swell and a slow drop, the effect is percussive like a piano. Conversely, with a slow swell and sudden drop, the result is reminiscent of a tape played backwards.
