TrueSoft Bypass
We combine durable true bypass relay switching with an effect-side FET switch for pure and smooth switching.
Extended Headroom
The overdrive uses a charge pump for max headroom, and the distortion adds dynamics by using only the drive added by the vintage LM308N chip.
Custom Alpha Pots
The GAIN, FAT, HARD, and SOFT 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.*
*Alpha Dog & Alpha Dog Glass only.
All VFE Pedals are built by hand in Puyallup, WA and include:
– Rugged diecast aluminum enclosures
– DualMode standard or momentary switching operation
– Industrial-grade Carling switches & Neutrik audio jacks
– Alpha pots soldered directly to PCB
– 5% WIMA film capacitors & 1% metal film resistors
– Ultra-pure, eutectic silver solder
