Watch out here it comes!

Keep watching!

In the next few days we will reveal our new Alpha Wah. Featuring two inductors. First is a vintage wound Halo inductor and second is a Red Fasel inductor. Tons of vintage wah tone and flavor. With selectable inductors you control the wah tone you want. Position 1 is the vintage Halo inductor alone. Selection 2 is the Red Fasel inductor alone. Position 3 is both inductors in parallel and position 4 is both inductors in series. Add the ability to externally control Q, Bass and Mid frequencies and you can find any tone you desire. We build this pedal with an internal buffer. We think it sounds smoother and works better with other pedals this way, however if requested we will build it with no buffer installed for you purest out there. We also include an external on/off LED indicator. Something that is missing from most wah pedals. Also this is a true bypass wah pedal when it is selected off.

All Alpha Omega Pedals are available for purchase at

The "Four 40" Envelope Filter at Alpha Omega Guitar Effects

Here it is! The new "Four 40" envelope filter from Alpha Omega Guitar Effects. A vintage circuit analog envelope filter (auto wah) using the VTL5C4/2 Opto-Coupler and 4558 Op-Amp for true vintage tone. A very versatile pedal with a fixed wah selection. Switch to manual mode, add a distortion pedal into the chain, set the sweep knob to your sweet spot and you have instant classic rock vibe. Select auto mode and a clean channel for Funk and Reggae styles. Turn the level knob down and let your picking attack trigger the filter for great playing dynamic. Turn it up and just let the filter do its thing. You still can trigger the filter with pick attack but with less effort. The harder your picking attack the harder the filter hits. This is a must have pedal for any vintage tone freaks pedal board.

Check one out today at http://www.alphaomegafx.com/.

Delay in product update.

Please pray for Dana the owner of Alpha Omega Guitar Effects and his family. His mother was called home to be with the Lord this week. He apologizes for not updating his blog or retail site in a timely manner but needs time to get personal issues on track in these trying times. Thank You for your prayers and understanding. He looks forward to bringing you new products and updates soon.

HOW MUCH?

I ran across this on Ebay today. As an effects builder I often buy used vintage pedals to get circuit ideas. I use these old circuits to replicate and modify new pedal designs. However I also need to pass on a product at price that is competitive and fair for the products I build. I would love to have a vintage Uni-Vibe but wow, how can I pass on a fair price when I would already have a starting point like this. I know I would own the pedal but its still all about cash flow. Don't get me wrong, I think its probably worth every dime this seller is asking, and some really licky but soon to be poor guitar player will get this great pedal,
but for now I will just not plan on a Uni-Vibe clone. So lets just all enjoy the picture of this great vintage pedal for now.
Please let me know if anyone who views this blog buys this pedal................so I can have pedal envy.

Not much time left!

Just a quick note. I know I haven't been posting much lately. Some family stuff like anniversary's, birthdays, out of town guest and taxes have been taking up all my time. Please don't forget that our discount promotion will end on February 29th, so take advantage and save some hard earned money (look at our last post). We are going to be RAMPING UP in March and April so keep looking.
Have a great week,
Dana @ Alpha Omega Guitar Effects

Making up for lost time!

For anyone who has visited our blog recently we would like to say thank you! We appreciate every visit. We have been kind of slow to updates this blog and to put product on our retail website. For this we do apologize. Between the holiday season and bad weather things have kind of backlogged. We will be placing more product on the site soon. We will also be putting new content on this blog that will be of interest to all you guitar players out there. Look for some new versions of our pedals this year. We are making changes to our "Four40" envelope filter, our "Temptation" distortion/overdrive pedal, our Angel Song" chorus pedal and we hope to have a really cool WAH WAH pedal by March. This is one of the reasons we are slow to list product. We need to get them built and photographed. Please be patent and check both here and at www.alphaomegafx.com often for updates. Remember we build each pedal by hand and it takes time to produce high quality effects for you the discriminating guitarist. We won't release a pedal until its up to our high standards.

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

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!
