The ZVex Sonar is a feature-packed, highly versatile tap-tempo tremolo designed to handle everything from standard amp-style modulation to aggressive, rhythmic signal slicing.

Unlike traditional tremolos that struggle or get muddy when placed around heavy drive pedals, the Sonar is specifically engineered to hard-chop high-gain signals straight to dead silence.

Key Features & Architecture:

• Built-in Machine™ Circuit: Includes an integrated ZVex Machine crossover distortion circuit via the top toggle switch. Engaging it adds high-harmonic teeth that cut through heavy overdrive or fuzz without drowning out the tremolo effect.\
• Rhythmic & Ramp Controls (Delta): The Delta control dynamically speeds up or slows down the tempo, or shifts the Duty Cycle (pulse width), on the fly. Multiplier toggles (1, 2, 4) allow quick tempo division adjustments.\
• Advanced Wave-Shaping Mode: Holding down the Tap Tempo footswitch reassigns the main knobs to control Attack (Speed), Release (Duty), and Depth (Delta), letting you sculpt custom envelope curves and square/sine wave shapes.\
• Clean Boost / Volume: The Volume knob provides ample clean headroom to compensate for perceived tremolo volume drop or to act as an active boost.

Sound & Practical Uses:

• Smooth Vintage Tremolo: Dial back the duty cycle and keep the toggle on Clean for warm, lush, traditional sine-wave modulation.\
• Hard Square-Wave Chopping: Crank the duty cycle and speed for aggressive, stuttering "killswitch" stutter effects, perfect for modern rock, rhythmic synth-like lines, and ambient soundscapes.\
• High-Gain Rhythmic Stutter: Flip to the Machine setting when running into a hot amp, high-gain distortion, or fuzz to maintain razor-sharp definition on the chopped pulses.\
• Dynamic Tempo Ramping: Use the Delta switch and tap tempo to create dramatic accelerating/decelerating pulse sweeps without touching a knob during live performance.
