New Alpha Omega Guitar Effects Blog Feature!

I'm adding a new feature to our blog.
The Alpha Omega Guitar Effects Featured Pedal of the Week.
On the side bar above our survey we will feature one of our pedals with a photo and sound clip.
I tried to put multiple clips on but it made the players run to slow so I need to do it one clip at a time.
To hear all of our pedals please visit this link:

Have a great week,
God Bless all
and most of all,

Cool Amp Company!

I was surfing the web the other day and ran across this amplifier company. We just happen to share a common name but have no affiliation. They are called Alpha & Omega Amplifiers. I really like to find and share other small company's that are making high quality products for the wonderful world of guitars. They make three amps. All tube and all based on classic proven vintage amp circuits. I'm planing on ordering one soon. I really like the one based on the Fender Bassman 4x10. Its more expensive than a Fender but I'll take small company hand made any day over large factory produced. Don't get me wrong, I do like Fender amps and their Blues DeVille is one of my favorites but I just like supporting small specialty company's. I have yet to hear one but I hope to soon.
Here are some pics and Stats:

The David:

• 30 watts output power
• one Alnico 12" and one Alnico 10" speakers
• all tube design, point-to-point wired
• 2 x 6L6 output, near Class A
• 5AR4 tube rectifier, 12AX7 preamp tubes
• single channel, Normal and High Gain inputs
• volume, treble, mid, bass, reverb controls
• true spring reverb
• birch plywood cabinet with covering
• 22" x 20" x 10"
• 40 lb

Here is a quote from their website:
"At A&O, we make our own cabinets constructed with 1/4" finger joints for strength. They are then covered with durable woven materials that look good and travel well. The speaker baffles are cut from sturdy birch-plywood instead of particle board (which has a tendency to crumble with use). We finish them off with attractive leather handles and an extra long power cable for convenience. After final assemly, each amp is tested, biased, and burned in. You Alpha & Omega is ready to go...right from the get-go."











The Big Al:

• 40 watts output power
• four Alnico 10" speakers
• all tube design, point-to-point wired
• 2 x 6L6 output
• 5AR4 tube rectifier, 12AX7 preamp tubes
• four inputs, two channels (Normal and Bright)
• volume (x2), treble, mid, bass, presence controls
• birch plywood cabinet with covering
• 22.5" x 23.25" x 11.5"
• 50 lbs

Here's to a New Year

Old Ideas for a New Year!
Here are ten New Testament Scriptures to help you in setting workplace goals, organizing your management strategies and writing up your New Year's work/life resolutions.

1. When the boss isn't looking: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23-24)
2. About that temper tantrum or water cooler gossip: If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. (James 1:26)
3. Management training that works: Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. (James 3:13-18)
4. On looking the other way: Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. (James 4:17)
5. On not paying enough--or not paying at all--and even (sometimes) "let's see how cheaply we can hire them" : Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. (James 5:4)
6. On anger and intimidation as management styles; on filling out performance evaluations; on talking about the boss behind his/her back: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29)
7. On doing it because everyone else is; or because it's legal: See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. (Colossians 2:8)
8. On wages, working conditions and management styles: Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven. (Colossians 4:1)
9. On career planning and assessment: Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. (I Thessalonians 4:11-12)
10. How much is enough? But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. (I Timothy 6:6-10)
    

Let this be the year people mark you as the go-to person for competence, integrity and compassion; but even more urgently, let this be the year they mark you as the person they seek out first when their little girl needs prayer, or they need hope or help.

Happy New Year!

I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. May God bestow peace and prosperity on all. May peace be found in the world. What a wonderful world we would have if we all served others with love and kindness. We may all have different opinions about religion, politics, and life in general but why kill each other over these differences. Start the New Year by being kind to someone you don't know. Get to know someone you would not normally associate with. Give something you don't need to someone who needs it. These small steps will go a long way.
God bless our troops and those they protect and serve here at home and abroad. God Bless our leaders whoever they may be. God give them wisdom to lead and protect. A new year can create a new beginning, so look for ways to change yourself and others will follow your change.
I personally put God and my savior Jesus Christ first in my life. I play music to honor and praise my Lord and help other to praise and worship Him. I trust God in my marriage, business and life. He has been faithful to his promises and I hope to be in His eternal presents (rock'n my guitar in worship) at the end of my life here on earth.

Happy New Year!

Taylor Electric Guitars

I've been really busy filling orders for fine people who are willing to try out an Alpha Omega Pedal. What I really want to do is track down a new Taylor Electric Guitar and try one out. I am really impressed with the look of these guitars from their web site www.taylorelectricguitars.com. I hope my local Guitar Center has at least one to demo. If Taylor produces an electric as good as their acoustic guitars I will probably end up with one.
Just thought I would share some pictures of these nice looking guitars.
Add some quality effects from www.alphaomegaguitarfx.com and these guitars will just rock.

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,
