Tremolo Deluxe
Tremolo
Finally a Tremolo with all the bells and whistles! The Latitude Deluxe
was designed for the player that wants a plethora of tremolo
options underfoot. The Latitude Deluxe offers players the choice of
sub-divisions: Quarter notes, eighth notes, dotted eighth notes, and
triplets. Have a drummer that’s time keeping is a little off? The tap
tempo control will regulate a player’s tempo on the fly. With a
choice of 3 waveforms (Bell, Peak, and Square) you can keep your
tremolo classy or as nasty as you want.
The Latitude utilizes digital technology to control a completely
analog guitar signal path; bringing you the best of both worlds.
With its tap tempo controls and multiple time divisions – the
Latitude is easy to sync with whatever song you are playing.
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. There are six
different ways to control the tremolo pedal. The controls include: Speed, Depth, Space, Attack, Waveform, and
Level.
Bypass Switch
– Simple enough, this footswitch is wired up for true bypass switching to ensure that you don't
have anything in the way when you disable the pedal. When the pedal is activated, the blue LED will be on.
Level
– The overall output level of the pedal. Counterclockwise is low with fully clockwise being high. Unity
volume is around 12 o’clock but this may have to be changed if your guitar is particularly high or low output.
Waveform
: This control allows you to select which one of the three available volume sweeps you want to govern
the tremolo effect. You can choose between square wave, peak wave and a regular sine wave.
(If you would like a
better understanding of what each of the waveforms look like, check out the graphs below. – The lines represent the way
the volume of your guitar is turned up and back down.)
The three wareforms look like this.

NOTE ON SQUARE WAVE:
The square wave will not be as harsh and choppy as a digital tremolo. Because of the Latitude’s
all-natural analog signal path – the square will be more natural sounding and less harsh, slightly less dramatic and angular.
