Wampler Pedals Releases the Low Blow and Latitude Standard

Wampler Pedals Releases the Low Blow and Latitude Standard

The Low Blow features two clipping modes, three-band EQ, and a notch filter.

Martinsville, Indiana (July 2, 2015) -- Several years ago Brian Wampler started on tweaking a bass circuit, it's been out to more players than we can remember, with each one making a suggestion about how it can be improved. After this, they all started saying, "That's it, it's perfect". That was the point Brian started to really refine it. Working with Wampler engineer (and bass player) Jake Steffes, Brian tuned the gain stages to perfection and the Low Blow was born.

Each of the two clipping modes - Smooth and Jagged - react just the way you would expect them too. Smooth giving you more of an overdrive with the jagged being more distorted. The addition of a 3 band EQ (Bass, Mids, and Treble) allows a player to have more tonal control no matter what the gig calls for. With the he Notch Filter switch, you can help tighten/clean up common cabinet ā€œwoofā€ without having to turn down. The Low Blow also features Wampler’s standard top mounted jacks and our soft click electrical relay true by-pass switch.

Features:

  • Hand built in the U.S.A.
  • High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response
  • Completely true bypass
  • Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
  • Power draw: 35mA
  • Active 3 band EQ
  • 2 clipping modes, smooth and jagged
  • Switchable notch filter

MSRP: $209.97 USD

With purity of tone found in the heart of the Latitude Deluxe, Wampler Brings to you the Latitude Standard.

With its smooth, creamy, and vocal like tremolo characteristics – the Latitude standard has the same ā€œblackfaceā€ inspired tremolo as its big brother, the Latitude Deluxe, but in a smaller, stripped down package. The Latitude Standard features top mounted jacks and our soft click electrical relay true by-pass switch. We use a true-bypass relay because it utilizes a quieter and smoother switch that is more reliable than traditional bypass switches. Your original tone/signal will remain unaffected when the pedal is not engaged.

The Latitude Standard also features the same great volume control option as the Latitude Deluxe so your tremolo effect will never get lost in the mix. With the constant tremolo speed indicator light, you know exactly where your tremolo will be before you even engage it – giving you convenient and accurate tremolo speeds each and every time.

Features:

  • Hand built in the U.S.A.
  • High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response
  • Completely true bypass
  • 9v power jack - DC supply only, no battery connection within.
  • Power draw: 30mA
  • Pulse LED to show tempo
  • Level, Speed and Depth control

MSRP: $189.97 USD

The luthier’s stash.

There is more to a guitar than just the details.

A guitar is not simply a collection of wood, wire, and metal—it is an act of faith. Faith that a slab of lumber can be coaxed to sing, and that magnets and copper wire can capture something as expansive as human emotion. While it’s comforting to think that tone can be calculated like a tax return, the truth is far messier. A guitar is a living argument between its components—an uneasy alliance of materials and craftsmanship. When it works, it’s glorious.
