Alpha Crusher; The Crusher for everyone
Unbeatable tone at an affordable price. The Alpha Crusher is a compact pedal, build like a tank and includes three very popular effects; Distortion, Chorus and Delay. The Delay can be set from a subtle echo and/or reverberation to infinite repetition. The Chourus is luscious and rich with a wide wide range that complements well any style. The Distortion sets this pedal at a new level. The Distortion works really well with a clean signal. It will favor your clean channel and will require more tweaking with dirty channels. The voicing is very Marshall like. It can be set from clean to Over Drive to full fledge Distortion stopping short of the heaviest of Metal. This is a very dinamic Distortion. Once you find the sweet spot on your amp, the pedal will react very well to the Volume control roll back and clean up nicely. It will also react very well to the pick attack causing your high frequencies to brake first in to very Blues like over drive. The best future of the Alpha Crusher is that all the effect included here interact very well with each other contributing to more great tone. The knobs, while small, have been fitted with a rubbery material that makes them easy to control. The Alpha Crusher is fairly noiseless, may hear some noise at very high gain. The best is that this is a compact tool with a wide range of options that can help any musician to taylor their own guitar tone at a very affordable price.

Great little unit and didn't break the bank.
Sounds great in front of an amp (both tube and solid state). Have not tried it direct.It's well made and feels solid. No major noise other than the distortion when at crazy gain.Switches are easy to press under foot (even in socks or bare foot).Distortion: Can get a bit noisy at higher gain but I've managed to dial in a nice smooth tone to suit my preference (Driving blues / rock / punkity-rock) Of all 3 FX this one feels the weakest but it's not bad by any stretch.Chorus: It's a chorus. It sounds like a chorus, it says it's a chorus, so it must be a chorus. Burn it!! No, seriously it sounds great to my old ears, not that I rock a lot of chorus but it sweetens up a clean/ slightly muddy tone.Delay: It's no DD-3 but it sounds lovely to me. I tend to use a subtle amount for a bit a flavor and it does it very well.The knobs and switches are fine. The knobs are very small and out of the way so the won't get kicked off the pedal with an errant stomp. The knobs have a nice rubber outer ring to make it easy to dial in.I will say the blue LEDS that illuminate for each active effect are quite bright in the dark ( I tend to grab my axe at odd times (like waiting for coffee to brew/ toaster to pop etc.) and had no lights on in the room. Those suckers could guide a small plane in on a foggy night! Although my old eyes tend to halo bright lights as it is due to my astigmatism. You youngsters will be fine.Great value for the $. Three great FX in one compact and durable unit. And it comes with the power adapter! Rock on folks!!

Remarkable value and very usable!
I bought the Alpha Cruncher 3. What an exxcxellent device this little beastie is! It's quite tiny, but seems sturdy and well-made. The three functions work very well indeed (although the chorus, while acceptable, isn't quite as strong as it might be) and each of them has a broad range of adjustment, making it easy as pie to find a setting I like.I didn't actually NEED this 3-in-1 pedal, as I already have pro-level effects on my board and in various MFX units. But at the price, including a decent power supply, I couldn't resist it! It might not be targeted at professional players, but in a pinch, or if stage space is really limited, for the stuff I play I reckon I could get through a gig with just this item between guitar and amp. In short, I'm delighted!

Pretty good bang for the buck!
I've had this pedal for over a year now, so, here goes. I got it because I wanted a not too large multi effects pedal that I could quickly set up at open Mike open jams ,etc....So I got this from Amazon, because for $60 what the hell, I certainly wouldn't break the bank. It took an uncharacteristically long time from Amazon..(but that was due to Hurricane Irma!), but when I got it, i had a gig that night, so I got to try it THAT night.Well, I gotta say that I was PLEASANTLY surprised! First, it took up considerably less real estate on the stage than I thought if would. Secondly, the effects sounds better than I expected. The analog delay, while not as good as the Carbon Copy (an AWESOME effect, btw!), performed more than satisfactory...the chorus performed pretty well, too, as did the distortion. And each effect has three knobs so you can tweak each effect to your liking. And it's small enough to fit in your gig bag.Does it sound as good as a pedalboard loaded with high end pedals?........not really....BUT.......for a considerably lower price.....the drop off of quality is not that noticeable....I use this one more than my high end pedalboard for ease of setup....if you want to augment your sound with minimal investment....look no further.....
