CONTROLSALBERTA - VINTAGE OVERDRIVE
Congratulations on your purchase of the Alberta!
Although the color of the enclosure gives a slight hint to the
sound palette of the pedal, it can be used in many ways. For
years, owners of the originals have been using them as little
“add-on”pedals, taking advantage of its overall sonic footprint.
It really works great for boosting (higher level knob settings),
adding a little extra sizzle and compression (higher gain set-
tings) or as a tonal enhancer (lower gain settings).
The range of the Alberta´s controls and its tubey, midrange
character makes it almost too easy to dial in: Set the gain higher
and the level lower if you use your amp on a clean setting or
vice versa if you want to push a gainy amp sound even further
into overdrive. Adjust the tone control to taste. Done.
Don´t pay too much attention to where the knobs are set –
that´s the whole idea of this. There really aren´t any bad sound-
ing settings in there, no matter how you set them.

DANISH-MADE CLASSICS
This pedal is a reissue of one of the very first stompbox series
made by T-Rex.
They were handmade in Vejle, Denmark using local suppliers
and “local” employees such as family members and friends of T-
Rex founders Lars and Sebastian. Yes, the old, sought-after Mud-
honeys, Albertas and Tremsters were made in a smokey, low-key
environment filled with passion and late-night soldering. We´re
talking small scale, big expectations, here.
The reissue pedals use the same leaded components and parts
as the old ones, but are wave soldered for higher precision and
quality. The bypass circuit has been changed to a true bypass
design, but other than that, it´s just like the old days. We even
stuck in some resistor values that were “slightly off the mark” but
contributed to the sound in a very positive way.
