Alcmene® Overdrive

<span>SOME HAVE HEARD OF THE CENTAUR PEDAL, KLON…</span><p>but what do you know of Alcmene®?</p><p>According to Greek mythology, Zeus and Alcmene® had an affair from which Heracles, the slayer of centaurs was born.</p><p>We introduce to you Alcmene®, a mini pedal, fully loaded with authentic Klon style features, such as<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Germanium</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>clipping diodes,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Gold</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>plated circuit board,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>active Treble</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>control,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Charge Pump</strong>,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Buffered Bypass</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>and more!</p><span>STRONG IN WRATH</span><p>Staying true to form, we used only NOS (New Old Stock)<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>1N34A Germanium Clipping diodes</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>in the circuit. Turn up the Gain and you turn up</p><p>True Germanium Distortion!</p><p>LEGENDARY TONE • Made in the USA</p><p><strong>1. MOSFET POWER PROTECTION:</strong>&nbsp;so you can feel safe if you have multiple power supplies, and accidentally plug in the wrong polarity. *** Above 9V is NOT protected. ***</p><p><strong>2. Passive Volume Control:</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Dial down the volume to roll off the full frequency range.</p><p><strong>3. Active Treble Control:</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Turn up the top end.</p><p><strong>4. Charge Pump and Germanium Diodes</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>inside.</p><p><strong>5. Buffered Bypass</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>stomp switch circuitry. As long as the Alcmene®&nbsp;pedal is in the signal chain, you’re getting a buffered signal OUT.</p><span>WHY ALCMENE ®?</span><p>This ‘Bad Girl’ comes loaded with an<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Asymmetrical Charge Pump</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>in the circuit, delivering 24.5V. This<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Rail Voltage to the Op Amp</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>gives you<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>more Clean Headroom!</strong></p><p>For the sound of John Mayer, Nels Cline or Joe Perry, the Alcmene® is sure to deliver.</p><p>All<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Polyester Film Capacitors</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>in the Audio path.</p><p><strong>Input Z</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>(impedance):<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>280K</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>(measured, as opposed to theoretical)</p><p><strong>Power Requirement: 9VDC/20mA</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>• NO INTERNAL BATTERY.</p><p>Powder Adapter Not Included. Requires a 9VDC Center Pin Negative (Fully Regulated power supply,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>such as</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>the TrueTone 1 SPOT, or any other Power Adapter that will supply 9VDC and<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>AT LEAST 20mA current.)</strong></p>
