Alpha Omega Test Rigs



We have been ask by several readers "What type of equipment do you test your pedals?"


So, we are going to highlight some of our test equipment so you can be better informed. We cannot test our pedals with every possible gigging rig out there, but we do have some gear to show you. This is only our one of our possible test rigs. This rig uses a 2002 Peavey Delta Blues 2x10 combo rated at 30 watts with JJ's Tubes. The preamp is a set of 3 matched 12AX7's and the power section is 4 matched EL84's. The speaker out on the amp is sent to a modified Line 6 4x12 slant cab with Celestion vintage 30's. The guitar is a 1988 Fender American Deluxe Plus with "Fender" Lace pickups. The bridge is a Blue Lace the middle and neck are Silver Lace.


This is our demo board. We use this board for testing new pedal builds and to showcase our pedals for local musicians and retail outlets. We use a Furman Model SBC-8C powered pedal board. These boards are incredible. The conditioned power is worth every dime along with the individual 9v supplies that give you a total of 960ma total draw or 120ma each output. Plus you get an additional 4 110v outlet plugs for added power supplies. All of our patch cables are custom made to length Planet Wave cables. These cables are very easy to make and have a very low impedence for optimal sound quality. We hope to offer these cables on our retail website in the future.
We are putting the final touches on our Website at http://www.alphaomegafx.com/ or http://www.heavenlytone.com/ . We are taking final pictures of all Alpha Omega Guitar Effects products and finishing up sound clips. It just takes time.
Thanks again for your visit to our blog.

Alpha Omega Guitar Effects Retail Website almost done


In a final push we are almost ready to launch our retail website. Coming up with a consistent Logo and theme has been a challenge. We are also adding a new domain name to be more consistent with our name and products. We planned and launched originally as http://www.heavenlytone.com/ but decided to make a change. we will now be http://www.alphaomegafx.com/


We are also changing our pedal graphics to reflect the new name. We still have some tweaking to do but we are happy with the result so far. We have always been Alpha Omega Guitar Effects with a slogan of "HeavenlyTone", but people were thinking our name was Heavenlytone. So this should help clear up any confusion. We will be offering some great Grand opening specials when we launch. Its just a matter of getting our products photographed and getting the rest of the sound clips recorded. Both domain names should take you to the site so check back often.


We are also working with a band out of Denton Texas who will begin using several of our pedals. We will have a profile of the band up soon.


Thanks Again for Visiting,

Analog Compressor (NEW)



Once again we are are introducing a new pedal for our customers. Introducing the "Revelator". A modern take on a vintage classic. More organic with more control for the discriminating guitarist.


This is not a Ross Compressor clone! This pedal is so much more......... This beauty will add a great squishy compression, add attack and get the ultimate country twang, need sustain this will ring for days. Controls include Level, Sustain, Blend, Attack and Tone, all with real black aluminum knobs and super brite white LED on/off indicator. You can't find a better compressor out there. Small footprint for a huge pedal so real estate is not a problem.


Price for this fine handcrafted pedal is $205.00 plus $7.95 flat rate shipping within the continental United States. We will invoice through PayPal. Please email us at ao.heavenlytone@verizon.net for shipping cost outside the continental United States.
