Alexander Pedals Equilibrium DLX Vintage Modulation

Alexander Pedals · pedal

The Alexander Pedals Equilibrium DLX is a digital tremolo, harmonic tremolo, and vibrato pedal offering three vintage modulation types in one enclosure. Tremolo mode delivers bias-amp-style amplitude modulation from smooth rolling sine waves to hard choppy burps via the Shape knob. Harmonic mode emulates early 1960s piggyback amplifier vibrato with a dry-signal blend creating a queasy swirling effect unique to that era. Vibrato mode delivers authentic 1950s pitch-wobble character reminiscent of early Fender tremolo circuits. Controls include Rate, Depth, Shape, and Mix for parallel wet-dry blending. Discontinued.
