The Rom and Trym effects pedals, the latest offerings from Aalberg Audio, are a pair of wireless effects pedals that aim to make it easier than ever for instrument players to alter sound effects mid-song whether on stage, in the studio or jamming in the basement.

The [Ekko](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razer-2xko) pedal is a semi-analog delay effects pedal that offers up to 10 seconds of delay time as well as level and feedback control. It can be placed in the pedal chain and act like regular mains-powered floor pedals. Meanwhile, the [Aero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonwalkers-aero) has a wireless range of up to 30 meters and can be used to store presets, set tap tempo and adjust stomp settings.

Both these pedals are designed to make it easier for musicians to concentrate on their playing and let their instruments do the talking, rather than having to spend lots of time and energy on effects switching.
