The Alpha Centauri.
The overdrive pedal with maximum headroom for optimal clean boost, smooth tonal coloration or massive grit.
Legends are legends for a reason. The Alpha Centauri overdrive is based on the most legendary of the circuits. You can find the originals going for thousands of dollars online. We’ve kept all the strengths and made a few changes that helped us achieve one of the best tones out there in a pedal.
The Alpha is excellent as a clean, transparent boost. Whether you ride it all gig as a tonal warmer or pop it on during solo’s to bring another overdrive to life or to make your amp sweat bullets and spit lightning, the Alpha will deliver the punch that you need with the clarity you’ve been missing.
What musicians have to say about the
Alpha
Centauri
GAIN
If you crank up the gain the Alpha will saturate your tone like a jagged saw blade while keeping an impressive amount of smoothness, without the feeling of compression normally experienced at high gain levels.
TONE
The active treble knob will add plenty of sparkly to your tone without piercing anyone’s ears and the passive bass cut will free up sonic space and let your tone breath. It’s extremely subtle but in the case of a heavy guitar into a very warm amp that tends to get muddy, or an analog keyboard/Organ the bass cut will move some of that mudd out of the way and let your instrument breath.
VERSATILITY
Between the duel gang gain pot that blends the overdriven signal with your clean tone and the Level knob, this pedal is extremely versatile and can be dialed into just about any guitar/amp combo.
BASS
The passive bass cut rolls off the lows on the clean portion of the signal. This extremely subtle filter can be just what the doctor orders if you find yourself wanting to let your signal breath a little without effecting the fullness of your tone.
LEVEL
The Alpha boasts 27 total volts of head room from it’s 9v power input giving optimal response and tightness and yes, we use germanium diodes. Same ones as the original. Different company, but same part.
TRUE BYPASS
The Alpha has a true bypass and is housed in one of the sleekest designed pedal cases on the market with a gleaming white LED shining through the shell from the inside. First they’ll hear it, then they’ll see it, then they’ll ask about it.
