If you’re a fuzz user, you may be aware of how limiting the tone shaping options can be and how easy it is for a fuzz to become lost in the mix. That ain’t a problem for the Alpha Fuzz, as OBNE have equipped it with 3-band master EQ slider - which gives you tactile control of the Lows, Mids & Highs.

There’s also switches for Fuzz Bias, Distortion Range and the Low Pass filter, which can be used in any combination to radically alter the Alpha Fuzz’s character.

The Gate knob works in tandem with the Bias control to achieve those sweet sputtery fuzz sounds.

OBNE have improved an already superb fuzz, making this seriously versatile stompbox a serious contender in the fuzz market. If you’re after a fuzzbox that sounds killer and can cover a lot of basses, the Alpha Haunt is a great choice.

Streamlined Fuzz with Copious Control

Two years after the pedal’s initial release, OBNE’s highly-regarded Alpha Haunt Fuzz is getting a makeover for 2021! Now in a more pedalboard-friendly package, the Alpha Haunt continues to offer users its uniquely versatile control set and explores the vast variety of sounds you can coax from its fuzz circuit. From open overdrives to squashed sputters, it’s all here and then some!

Alpha Haunt is a Fuzz. That seems simple enough on the surface. Alpha Haunt also has twelve controls. OK, perhaps not then. However, these controls are highly interactive and most of the fuzz buzzwords are here; huge and sustaining, gated and sputtering, mid scooped/boosted, bright, dark, warm, chimey, ultimate clarity, utter lack of clarity, heavy, zippery, chuddy, spitty, [INSERT ANY FUZZ TERM OF YOUR CHOOSING]… - anyway, you get the point.

With variable control over fuzz gain, compression and the overall tone to set your base fuzz sound, Alpha Haunt also comes with switchable fuzz distortion range, bias, low pass filter. These react interactively with the Tone control and a parallel Enhance circuit. Used on its own the Enhance circuit acts as a clean boost, but dialed in alongside the Fuzz Volume, it brings in body and clarity. An active three-band master EQ lets you shape the output signal tonally.

Freely craft your fuzz sounds using the Fuzz (Gain), Fuzz Volume and the massive three-band master EQ slider controls, then adjust the output to your needs with the independent Master volume control.

With the Alpha Haunt, the whole pack of Fuzz tones is at your disposal. You are the alpha now!
