All-Pedal released the Devil's Triad Essentials Edition, a pedal built on the drive section of its Jeff Loomis signature Devil's Triad, on May 24, 20241. The original Devil's Triad had four sections, Drive, Boost, Reverb and Delay; the Essentials Edition keeps Boost and Drive1.
The maker describes the pedal as "our newest pedal designed in collaboration with Jeff Loomis" and says it is "Built on the original Drive section of the now famous Devil's Triad"2. The drive is an analog op-amp circuit, and the pedal adds an active three-band EQ2. The boost section has Pre and Post knobs, placed before and after the drive circuit, and the maker says both have a small amount of cut at their minimum settings2. Guitar Pedal X reports that the overdrive moves from a three-knob layout to a full three-band EQ format1.
Controls are listed as Boost Post, Pre and Boost footswitch; Treb, Mid and Bass; and Fuel (Output), Gain and Drive footswitch1. The maker gives these specifications2:
| Section | Specification |
|---|---|
| Drive | Analog op-amp; input impedance ~400K at 1kHz; total output 20dB |
| Boost | Analog op-amp; input impedance 325K at 1kHz; unity to 20dB |
| High EQ | Active 10dB boost / 15dB cut, center frequency 4kHz |
| Mid EQ | Active 7.5dB boost / 7.5dB cut, center frequency 1kHz |
| Low EQ | Active 7.5dB cut / 13dB cut, center frequency 70Hz |
| Power | 9VDC/37mA, center pin negative; no internal battery; adapter not included |
The pedal is hand-built in the USA and carries a 3-year warranty, with an upgrade to a lifetime warranty offered2. It is priced at $250 through the All-Pedal Webstore, and Guitar Pedal X reports that major international dealers were expected soon1. The maker lists it as in stock and ready to ship2.
