The Vapor Trail Deluxe builds on the proud legacy of our original Vapor Trail analog delay pedal. Its warm, Bucket Brigade repeats, and 3-dimensional modulation continue to inspire guitarists around the world. But its expanded control, new sonic modes, and storable preset locations make the Vapor Trail Deluxe analog delay one of a kind.
The Vapor Trail Deluxe offers 100% analog warmth and character. And with four of the largest Bucket Brigade chips in production, it delivers enhanced tone and increased delay times up to 1.2 seconds. Those chips are also responsible for the pedal’s modulation that goes from a subtle shimmer to rotary speaker-like warble with ease.
We worked hard to give the Vapor Trail Deluxe an inspiring analog tone. But we were just getting started. We’ve also outfitted the pedal with tap tempo with subdivisions, expression pedal control, and delay trails on/off options for letting your repeats carry over. And once you’ve dialled in your perfect repeats, you can store them for on the fly recall in one of three preset locations.
The Vapor Trail Deluxe is also the perfect platform for ambient sonic exploration. First, we carried over the original’s Wet Insert for adding your own outboard effects to the repeated signal. Then we added four new modes that push the boundaries of analog delay.
Micro Delay (Special Mode 1): Extremely fast repeats for replicating double-track, slapback, and Leslie speaker-like effects. Pitch Sequence (Special Mode 2): Introduces up and down octaves in eight customisable, rhythmic sequences. Pitch Bender (Special Mode 3): Puts dive-bomb and glissando control at the tap of your toe. Runaway (Special Mode 4): The endless repeats and building energy of runaway delay with effortless control.
