What's new in 1.1.0

Latency / double tracking We’ve seen a few users asking about a double-tracking sound on the wet signal and wondering about the amount of latency. These are actually related to each other and are both baked into the core of the pedal. All vibrato / lo-fi / chorus pedals have a short delay between your input signal and the effect, called latency. It’s how they do their thing. The original latency on Generation Loss MKII was set to be as tight as possible while also giving a nice chorus sound, but some users noticed that this can give you a doubling effect with short, percussive sounds like drums. This update tightens up that latency and really mitigates the perceived 'double tracking' on the wet signal. The specific amount of latency at any moment depends on the pedal’s settings, but with the new firmware it will always be at least half the latency of the original (and sometimes lower). Trade-offs The sound will be more flange-y than chorus-y when used in stereo or with some DRY mixed in. The tape stop effect now has some gritty artifacts. The noise has a slightly different character. Originally I was calling these pros / cons but really all of them are just differences. This one is a software update so it’s easy to switch back if it’s not for you.
