Delicious, creamy distortion to go!

The Alberta Distortion Pedal has that creamy overdrive sound reminiscent of a vintage TS-808 with a little more heft in the bottom end. With the gain cranked towards max, the T-Rex Alberta pedal behaves much like a vintage Tube Screamer. More subtle settings produce gorgeous blues tone with bite and sweet tube-like harmonics. Handcrafted in Denmark. 9V battery operation. 2-year unconditional warranty.

this is not distortion...

First of all, this is definitely an OVERDRIVE pedal, not distortion. It is marketed incorrectly, but I've got to say that this does really classy overdrive, sounds exactly like a quality tube amp braking up.

The overdrive is subtle, perhaps too subtle, and so even with the gain turned to full you won't get much more than slightly gritty chords with a clean amp on. Great for leads though, a very transparent tone (so obviously this won't make a cheap guitar sound a million dollars, only buy this if you are happy with the sound you get anyway). The casing seems pretty solid but not as solid as, say, a ProCo Rat (which last a life time), and the tone control is very close to the switch, so you have to be a little careful. I haven't had it long, so I've yet to see if it stands up to being gigged.

Basically, this could not be my only dirt pedal, because the overdrive is very light, so I'd want a distortion pedal as well as this, but it does what it does very well. However, be warned that this is definitely NOT distortion!

what is tone?

I like this pedal. If you like the distorted tone of players like Allan Holdsworth or Eric Johnson, this pedal is transparent enough to let your hands produce the sound you want without all the extra fur. NOT FOR AMATEURS!

I have used a tube screamer with a modified chip and it was good. However it still kind of "masked" the tone. But when I tried the t-rex alberta, forget it. Beautiful smooth "transparent" distortion. If you like the tone of Allan Holdsworth or Eric Johnson, the t-rex alberta is really good for fine tuning your overall sound.

easy to use and the sound well lets just say that when this walks into the room... it chews up the ts 808 and the original tubescreamers and spits them out. This is THE overdrive/blues pedal that you have dreamed about. It's a keeper.
