Spaceman Cadet Series Delta II Tremolo

The Spaceman Cadet Series Delta II Tremolo: Compact Optical Trem with Wide-Ranging LFO Control

Optical tremolo with rich analog character

The Delta II delivers a pure, analog optical tremolo in a pedalboard-friendly format, offering a remarkably smooth and musical modulation. Rooted in classic amplitude modulation circuits, this design adds a warm, organic depth to your signal that integrates naturally into clean or driven tones. The optical topology ensures a soft, wave-like pulse without the mechanical harshness that can plague digital-based tremolos.

Intuitive waveform shaping and depth control

With just three controls—Rate, Depth, and Shape—the Delta II makes it easy to dial in everything from subtle movement to deep, hypnotic pulses. The Shape control lets you explore the full spectrum between triangle and square waveforms, offering everything from rounded swells to choppy stutters. Whether you're chasing vintage tremolo textures or more experimental rhythms, this pedal responds immediately to your adjustments.

Compact, rugged design built for the road

True to the Cadet Series ethos, the Delta II is crafted with a focus on usability and durability. Its compact footprint and top-mounted jacks make it ideal for dense pedalboard layouts. Inside the sturdy aluminum enclosure, you'll find through-hole components, hand soldering, and a meticulous attention to detail—hallmarks of Spaceman’s Portland-based workshop.

True bypass for transparent tone integration

The Delta II features a true bypass switching system, ensuring your tone remains untouched when the pedal is disengaged. This transparency makes it an excellent addition to any rig, whether placed early in your signal path for subtle dynamics or post-drive for more dramatic modulation effects. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it tool that blends seamlessly into your setup until it’s time to shine.

Simple power requirements, versatile results

Designed to run on a standard 9V center-negative power supply, the Delta II offers plug-and-play ease without compromising sonic depth. Whether you’re practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, this tremolo brings vintage character and modern control together in a reliable, straightforward package.
