ALBERTA
OVERDRIVE / TUBE SCREAMER PEDAL
The Alberta overdrive pedal was one of the first pedals T-Rex produced, and it crystallizes everything this Danish company is all about – tone, tone, tone.
It’s not about Alberta’s controls. They’re plain minimalistic, with just three knobs – gain, level and tone – in addition to the ON/OFF switch. What sets this pedal apart is its phenomenal sound, no matter how you set the controls.
The blues and beyond
Some people say Alberta was born to play the blues – and it certainly does deliver that vintage tubey warmth that bluesmen are always looking for. But T-Rex would never try to tell you what kind of music to play. We recommend Alberta for everything from Muddy Waters to White Stripes – and we guarantee that this pedal will deliver no matter what kind of music you play.
How do they do it?
Ever wonder what makes T-Rex pedals like the Alberta overdrive so different from what other companies offer? If you ever visited our offices in Vejle, Denmark
you’d understand straight away. We’re not a company that makes music equipment. We’re sonic craftsmen who have built a company to deliver the tone we’ve always looked for in our own gear.
