T-Rex Alberta Overdrive Pedal

[CraigSpannier]

Alberta isnt that great

[StevieRayMatt]

Really Bluesy pedal...great!

[crguti]

TC Vintage Overdrive has the same pcb design.

[MicDollaBIll]

how does the buffer on this pedal compare to boss buffers? i picked up a made in taiwan os-2 thinking that its buffer wouldn't mess with my clean tone, but it compressed it and made it more midrangey.

[acdcgnrledzepp]

very great tone , the tone i was looking for , using a transistor fender amp , i think i'll buy this one

[Laitane93]

@acdcgnrledzepp transistor amp doesnt make justice for this pedal

[phildd0t]

I dunno what does that footswitch look like? Looks like a 3PD to me.

[jesusofsuburbia57]

@peppedeleo Of course!

[mynmyself]

the rythmic on my band uses this pedal... is a REALLY gentle overdrive pedal but when used with his jcm900 crunch channel it gets really nasty... a very nice overdrive

[henriklarssonbrehmer]

strikerfox1: maybe there's something wrong with your playing or your other gear? I've tried the Alberta and it's just as good as any demo.

[TheGuitarlawyer]

That pedal sounds fantastic

[jcoopercam]

Definitely as good, and as original as any Klon Centaur!

[Kairou57]

Does it blend the clean guitar signal with the distorted one? And which pedals have this feature?

[JacoThe2nd]

Way Huge Pork Loin

Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive

[paperbea]

@Kairou57 t-rex moller has that feature i think

[93SweE]

@Kairou57 It is amazing to run into a overdriven amp.

And all overdrivepedals can do it, some sound better then other..

[markmerrin]

I love mine - it gets exactly what I want, not muddy at all... took a bit to dial in, and it is great now!

[jp6l6]

Most of the time I can get the same tones without any pedal. Just for the fun I customized both the drive channels of a Laney VC50 and that's all.

[strikerfox1]

i had one, brand new.... sounded so very muddy and dark on my '65 Vox pacemaker '66 vox ac30 and eh on my RI Fender twin. I was really disappointed because the sound clips on the t-rex website and on here showed a gorgeous sound. Returned it, and got a second one just incase the first was defective. Same problem. Returned it and ended up with a gold MJM Blues Devil.

Great vid, but in my experience this pedal didnt sound anything close to the demo, unlike other demos which have been v.helpful.

[rasmuspg92]

i don'd understand why people makes pedals that isn't true bypass. that's the only disadvantage about this!!!

[mrbOm57]

Because if you plug with a long cable, the signal would drop!

The pedals without true bypass would be like a buffer that make the signal still full.

[gungoe]

waw, didn't know that one :-). Thanks for the info :-)

[joakorush2112]

good point

[t4t4n]

is it good for boster???

[Distortionsounds]

man i love these danish pedals. come from denmark self!! haha

[Youtubax]

I get a flawless second hand one for 96€ today and it sounds simply brilliant with my solid state Fender amp. Pure vintage sound.

[71LCC]

This is a great pedal...extremely transparent.. aint no mudhoney though

[volcano9980]

exactly

[amyourfather]

this is pretty sweet but that bloody mary one is pretty sweet

[vontetzianos]

I would have thought the bloody mary had much more gain. I tried one and it lacked a lot of saturation capability

[martinisbutik]

stack 'em

[Hestjaevel111]

i guess i'd go for the mudhoney instead of this, though this unit sounds awesome aswell.

Seems to me like the mudhoney can sound like the alberta (no midhump though) and do much more, but the alberta can't do the mudhoney.

[cabira666]

sweet!!

I love the overdrive sound!

[arturo3164]

the best low gain overdrive, better than tube creamers ts8 ts9 ts10

[jlagune]

alberta:the singing pedals!!!!

[gungoe]

my god, I realy dont know weather I should go for the alberta or the mudhoney. They both sound so good!!!

[hirummy]

To me, they're totally opposite. Alberta sounds like a humpy tube screamer whereas Mudhoney sounds like a warm & fuzzy OD. They're both great, though.

[gungoe]

if I had the money I would buy them both :-). It's realy difficult.

[jl7571677]

i have them both,they work good as a team

[seite13]

To me one of the best overdrive pedals out there!

[jonnyab]

Excellent review-the best on u tube. Thanks guys.

[TUBEMAN192]

this or voodoolab sparkle drive?

[rukulathegamer]

i got mine 2 days ago, its sooo rock n' roll!

every one: go buy one

[PorsukToros]

realy warm

[bingefeller]

You're the best, man!

[juventus88]

I miss my old Alberta...

[beefhat1]

excellent as always
