It's blue, it's hard, and it's wired -- at the 2010 Summer NAMM show in Nashville, Tennessee, HardWire announced the new TR-7 Tremolo / Rotary Pedal -- a true stereo tremolo, rotary, and vibrato pedal offering a range of effects, from traditional tremolo to that of a detailed rotary cabinet simulator.

The TR-7 offers seven main effects: Tremolo, Opto-Tremolo, Bias Tremolo, Duo Tremolo, Rotary, Vibrato, and VibroPan. What's more, the new pedal includes HardWire’s performance features like true bypass and high-voltage rails, plus true stereo I/O, which allows for complex connections and flexible sounds.

Harman Music Group's president, Rob Urry, comments on the TR-7 pedal: "We improved on an already impressive lineup of HardWire pedals with the introduction of the technologically superior tremolo and rotary pedal." He continues, "The highly advanced processing in the TR-7 is an exciting addition to a tour-worthy package of the HardWire pedals." So there you have it.

Each HardWire pedal also features an assortment of helpful accessories, including green gaffer tape common to pro pedalboards, Stomplock knob guards to maintain pedal settings, and a hook and loop pad to fasten the pedal to a pedalboard.
