I know there are a few clones out there (based originally on the fender design) but I thought this was interesting...Logo and everything... tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 628 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Saturday, January 08, 2011 - 11:12 pm:    as crazy as i may sound, i like the pedal, if it was actually Alembic that would make it cooler but i like the way it looks, might just be me but oh well, thanks for the link ~Taylor adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2739 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 09, 2011 - 4:09 am:    Here's a Google translation. pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 660 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Sunday, January 09, 2011 - 6:34 am:    Sound - fenderovskie wedges!!!! oujeebass Intermediate Member Username: oujeebass Post Number: 177 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 09, 2011 - 7:32 am:    I've always thought that Alembic should make pedal versions of the preamps and superfilter, but figured it wasn't something they wanted to deal with. It would help get their name into minds of the younger pedal-driven generation. echo008 Senior Member Username: echo008 Post Number: 418 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 09, 2011 - 8:06 am:    a pedal format SF2/F2B/F1X direct from the mother ship would be outstanding a BIG +1 jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2291 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 09, 2011 - 12:22 pm:    And expensive... Many younger musicians i've seen out shopping in music shops are looking for digital multi-effects pedals for their sound rather than pedals for tone improvement. So I would doubt that sector of market would buy an expensive Alembic Pedal in enough quantity to support production. But having an alembic tone driven overdrive pedal that works perfectly with their active guitars would be of interest to me.

I wonder if it's noisy. Still, a nice job on the graphics and layout. A single channel would do it in a pedal form. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1527 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Monday, January 10, 2011 - 5:06 pm:    I agree Edwin; the wiring is a bit messy and in my opinion the power supply is too close the the signal path and is not isolated enough , so is it noisy?_____ maybe ! I ALSO do not think that it is very cool to label the enclosure as ALEMBIC. , Just my opinion, Will it be very durable the way that it is laid out ? Perhaps not because it will be subjected to more physical trauma in such a layout and application. Just my 2 cents worth, Sorry, but, I am a naysayer on this one folks .LOL ______. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4709 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, January 10, 2011 - 6:24 pm:    What's next, the power-amp-in-a-pedal? All we'll need is pedals and speakers!

Specs if interested. http://www.proaudiosolutions.com/product-p/ps15x-d.htm The pedal preamp thing is very convienient....the less I have to carry the better.

It would be a "smokin'" show! sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1530 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 5:56 pm:    A nice beer vaporizer! _______ROFL! peoplechipper Advanced Member Username: peoplechipper Post Number: 233 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 10:49 pm:    Alembic preamps in pedal form would be very cool; the 80's have given me such an aversion to anything rack I'm hard pressed to even TRY any of it now...Tony
