Triumvirate

The Triumvirate by VFE is a unique multi-band distortion pedal designed to separate the guitar signal into three pathways (lows, mids, and highs) using a second-order crossover network. Each pathway then goes through its own distortion engine, with full control over the amount of gain in each band. The pedal offers independent mixing of each band at the end, making it suitable for a wide array of instruments, including guitar, bass, synths, and even cellos.

Key Features and Specifications:
- Controls: The Triumvirate features individual volume controls for each distortion band (Bass, Treble, Mid), gain control for the individual bands, and trimmers for adjusting high-end cut and input gain.
- Band Specific Controls: The pedal provides specific controls for each frequency band, including cutoff frequencies and gain ranges for Bass, Mid, and Treble bands.
- Internal Control: The sole internal trimpot controls the pre-gain of the Triumvirate, allowing users to adjust the clipping characteristics for a milder overdrive or a harder distortion-fuzz style.
- LED and Transistor Specifications: The pedal uses 3mm LEDs for the mid band and 1N4002 silicon diodes for the treble band, each with specific clipping thresholds and gain ranges.
- Power Supply: The Triumvirate operates on a standard 9VDC, negative-tip power supply.

The pedal's design and functionality make it suitable for a wide range of musical applications, offering musicians the flexibility to achieve various distortion effects across different frequency bands.
