Wampler Latitude Standard
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler Latitude Standard is a streamlined, blackface-inspired tremolo pedal offering Depth and Speed controls for quick on-the-fly adjustments, a soft-click electrical relay true-bypass switch, top-mounted jacks, and a tremolo speed indicator light for visually syncing pulses. Compared to the larger Latitude Deluxe, the Standard strips the format down to core tremolo functionality in a smaller enclosure, emphasizing a clean, pure signal path with the tremolo effect layered transparently on top rather than coloring the underlying tone.
