Check out the ENGL Alpha Drive Custom Pedal presented by Julian Scarcella!
We are proud to offer up a versatile, high quality solution for any live and studio situation.
With the ALPHA-DRIVE pedal you get pure analog, medium - gain, vintage overdrive sound just like a cranked up tube amp
at high volumes. It is designed for classic and blues rock but you can use it as a simple drive booster, too.
Not least due to the special selection of the components, the sound quality of this device is at a
particularly high level. The electronics assembly is protected by a high durable housing to offer you a pedal with the highest possible long time
permanency.
