  • Page 1 Congratulations Seymour Duncan on your purchase of the SFX-07 Tremolo Pedal™ . You can start using your Tremolo right away and you’ll be able to immediately revel in the hypnotic, pulsing, vibey tones that this pedal is capable of. You might want to first read through these instructions in their entirety to gain valuable information that will enhance your enjoyment of your Tremolo.
  • Page 2: General Information

    General Information Between the 100% pure analog signal path and the digital tempo control, your SFX-07 is a trem like no other trem. Actually, that’s not entirely true, because if you want the kind of tremulation that you know and love from your favorite tube amps, this pedal can do it. But if, in addition to that, you want inspiring and crazy tones that you’ve never...
  • Page 3: Explanation Of Controls

    Explanation of Controls Front Panel (See page 2) 1. Depth – “How much tremolo would you like?” This wide-range control smoothly varies the tremolo effect from a subtle shimmer to an intense rhythmic pulse. 2. Shape – “When should the rise and fall occur?” This amazing control allows for the variation of tremolo rise and fall time (how fast or slow the volume increases and decreases) for unique percussion and “reverse decay”...

    (or if compatible, the return jack of your amp’s effects loop) 3. Power Jack – This is where you can connect a regulated 9-volt DC adapter (center negative) such as the Seymour Duncan 11802 if you opt not to run the Tremolo on a 9-volt battery. BACK PANEL...
  • Page 5 The SFX-07 is an incredibly flexible effect and, as a result, it can be worked into your setup in a variety of ways. Let’s examine a couple of possibilities. Between Guitar and Amp Take the ¼” mono instrument cable from your guitar and plug it into the Trem’s Input jack.
  • Page 6 In-Depth Examination of Features The SFX-07 Shape Shifter is capable of a huge range of sounds from the traditional, old-school trem tones heard on your favorite recordings to wild, sci-fi effects that are not possible with any other tremolo pedal on the planet.
  • Page 7 Fluttering Shimmer These settings give a cool, warbly quality to single-note lines reminiscent of organs and vibraphones. Helicopter Chop This is a more radical version of tremolo that produces an on/off stutter that can really drive a tune.
  • Page 8 For the Sonic Adventurer Notes on Tap Tempo The Tap Tempo feature of the SFX-07 is an incredibly powerful tool that takes this pedal way beyond what “normal” tremolos can do. It totally removes the guesswork of trying to sync your trem pulse to a song’s groove.
  • Page 9 Shape Shifting By now you’ve figured out that the SFX-07 Tremolo can do classic trem beautifully. But it can do more—a lot more. The key to many of the SFX-07’s most unique effects lies in the Shape control. So what does this knob do anyway? We’re glad you asked .
  • Page 10 Backwards? This is a cool, psychedelic sound that will add a whole ’nother dimension to a tune, whether you sync it to the song’s tempo with the Tap footswitch or just set the rate randomly. Faux Piano This tone really lends itself to Tap Tempo synchronization.
