but what do you know of Alcmene®?
According to Greek mythology, Zeus and Alcmene® had an affair from which Heracles, the slayer of centaurs was born.
We introduce to you Alcmene®, a mini pedal, fully loaded with authentic Klon style features, such as Germanium clipping diodes, Gold plated circuit board, Active Treble Control, Charge Pump, Buffered Bypass and more!
Staying true to form, we used only NOS 1N34A Germanium Clipping diodes in the circuit.
Turn up the Gain and you turn up True Germanium Distortion!
