The story of AllPedal
AllPedal's own artist page presents its lineup alongside a pedal called the 1987, a combined distortion and delay unit2. The company's current catalog shows a builder working across several effect types at once: an overdrive, a signature distortion and delay pedal, a phaser, and special editions of existing designs.
A recurring theme in AllPedal's product pages is construction detail. The Alcmene overdrive, which AllPedal describes as a "Germanium K-Style" overdrive pedal, uses all polyester film capacitors in the audio path1. The Devil's Triad, a Jeff Loomis signature pedal, pairs an analog signal path with digital repeats in its delay section7.
AllPedal also releases variations of its designs. The Slamurai Overdrive Parlor Edition is a special edition of the Slamurai, introduced as "the Slamurai® by AllPedal"8.
What AllPedal is known for
AllPedal's catalog, as its product pages present it, centers on a small number of designs:
| Pedal | Type | Notable details |
|---|---|---|
| Alcmene | Overdrive | Germanium K-Style, polyester film capacitors in the audio path1 |
| Devil's Triad | Distortion and delay | Jeff Loomis signature, analog signal path with digital repeats7 |
| Slamurai | Overdrive | True bypass, special Parlor Edition available58 |
| Love Machine | Effect pedal | True bypass4 |
| Microdose Phaser | Phaser | True bypass6 |
The company's best documented collaboration is with Jeff Loomis. AllPedal's own words on the Devil's Triad237:
"created in collaboration with the great Jeff Loomis, best known for his work with bands like Nevermore and Arch Enemy"
The Devil's Triad Essentials is described by AllPedal as its newest pedal designed in collaboration with him3.
Across the stated range, the product pages point to a few shared characteristics:
- Hand-built construction in the United States1
- True bypass switching on the Love Machine, Slamurai and Microdose phaser456
- A 3 year warranty with a free upgrade to a lifetime warranty on the Alcmene, Devil's Triad, Love Machine and Microdose phaser1746
- Special editions of existing designs, such as the Slamurai Parlor Edition8
Power, bypass and warranty
AllPedal pedals run on 9V DC, with current draws that vary a good deal between models167:
| Pedal | Power requirement |
|---|---|
| Alcmene | 9V DC, 20mA1 |
| Microdose Phaser | 9V DC, 36mA6 |
| Devil's Triad Essentials | 9V DC, 37mA, needs at least 100mA supply3 |
| Devil's Triad | 9V DC, 160mA7 |
Power adapters are not included with AllPedal pedals1. As Empress Effects explains in general terms, a power supply must supply at least as many amps as the pedal requires, and most, but not all, pedals use negative-tip supplies9.
On bypass, AllPedal lists the Love Machine, Slamurai and Microdose phaser as true bypass456. Every AllPedal pedal with a stated warranty, including the Alcmene, Devil's Triad, Love Machine and Microdose phaser, carries a 3 year warranty with a free upgrade to a lifetime warranty1746.
