TrueSoft Bypass
We combine durable true bypass relay switching with an effect-side FET switch for pure and smooth switching.
Variable HCC
Variable HCC circuitry allows you to fine tune the harmonics, compression, and clipping character of your tone.*
*Applies to COMP control only.
Custom Alpha Pots
The DRIVE, HIGH, LOW, & A/M controls are built in the USA with custom-designed tapers specifically for the Alpha Dog.
DualMode Switching
DualMode Switching can convert the footswitch into momentary operation.
To use, wait 5 seconds, then press the sequence tap+tap+hold until LED flashes.
USA Made PCBs
Our circuit boards are made in the USA by Advanced Circuits (large PCB runs) or OSH Park (small PCB runs).
PRP Audio Resistors
We used low noise, low inductance resistors made for audio circuits by Precision Resistive Products in the USA.*
*Does not apply to the Junior version
