So I covered the larger original Devil’s Triad back in September of 2022 - which consisted of 4 sections - Drive, Boost, Reverb and Delay, with the Controls - DRIVE } Level, Tone, Gain; BOOST } Boost; DELAY } Level, Feedback, Delay (Time); REVERB } Level, Tone, Decay, Drive Footswitch, Boost Footswitch, Reverb/Delay Footswitch.
This compact ’Essentials’ edition gives the Boost - Post and Pre Controls, and takes the Overdrive from a 3-knob type - to a full 3-Band EQ format.
Controls - BOOST } Post, Pre, Boost Footswitch; ACTIVE 3-BAND EQ } Treb, Mid, Bass; SOFT-CLIPPING OPAMP DRIVE } Fuel (Output), Gain, Drive Footswitch.
You all should know by now how impressed I was with All-Pedal’s Slamurai Bushido Drive - a fantastically versatile overdrive with 3-Band EQ also. The Devil’s Triad Essentials has that really smart Boost section - over and above the Slamurai - which vastly increases the ’Essentials’ range and versatility.
Seeing how much I love the Slamurai - means that this ’Essentials’ one goes straight on the wishlist! I will look to capture this one for the reference collection somewhat oppoprtunistically!
The Essentials is a great looking versatile gain pedal with a really appealing look! It’s priced @ $250 and available for immediate orders from the All-Pedal Webstore. Should be imminently at major international dealers too - hopefully including Andertons in the UK - nothing listed there yet!
