The All-Pedal Devils Triad is a new multi-effect stompbox created for metal players built in collaboration with Jeff Loomis of bands Nevermore and Arch Enemy. Its circuit comprises footswitchable overdrive, boost and a reverb/delay effects within a single box roughly the size of two compact pedals.
Designed to be Loomis’ “all-in-one pedal for live and in-studio purposes,” the Devils Triad does in fact cover a lot of ground, being able to deliver several types of distortion (from smooth crunch to very high-gain tones) through the interaction of the Boost and the op-amp Drive circuit, plus a useful Tone knob that facilitates sculpting and tone fine-tuning.
The Reverb/Delay section of the pedal is digital but retains the analog dry signal) and allows to edit both effects with three knobs each: the Reverb has its own level, tone, and decay controls, while the Delay has its own volume, feedback, and speed settings. The footswitch turns them both on or off.

All-Pedal Devils Triad, Builder’s Notes
In Collaboration with Jeff Loomis of Arch Enemy, we are proud to introduce the Devil’s Triad™. Jeff Loomis Signature Guitar Pedal.
OVERDRIVE
Drive: Analog op-amp with Soft Clipping260K @ 1KhZ
Level:Off – 20db
Tone: 10db Boost @ 4KhZ | 15db cut @ 4KhZ
Gain: Increases Signal to the clipping LEDS to increase distortion.
BOOST
Boost: Analog op-ampMeasured input impedance: 325K @ 1KhZ
Boost: Unity – 20db
REVERB
Analog signal path with digital plate reverb emulator.Level: Volume of wet signal, dry signal always unity level.
Tone: Attenuates highs from wet signal only.
Decay: Sets the level of wet signal feedback.
DELAY
Analog signal path with digital repeats.Measured input impedance: 250K @ 1KhZ
Level:Volume of the repeats, dry signal always unity level.
Feedback: Number of repeats.
Delay: Time between repeats ~50ms minimum / ~500ms maximum.
