ALKENE OVERDRIVE

Inspired by the classic “Nashville” overdrives found on the pedalboards of session greats from Tim Pierce to Jerry McPherson, the ALKENE takes that familiar, organic feel and pushes it further. At its core, ALKENE combines musical clipping with gentle, amp-like compression—but with more flexibility and control than ever before.

We carefully lowered the overall gain range to make every part of the sweep usable, restored key mid frequencies so it isn’t overly scooped, and tightened the low end for clarity and punch. The result is an overdrive that adds the right amount of low-mid “beef” without ever getting muddy, while remaining incredibly touch-responsive.

ALKENE excels at crunchy rhythm tones that retain chord clarity, while still delivering singing, expressive lead tones when pushed.

As working musicians, we’ve all experienced the frustration of backline amps that sound thin, stiff, or uninspiring. One of our favorite things about ALKENE is its ability to transform those amps—adding the right low mids and just enough sag to make them feel alive and enjoyable to play.

To hear this in action, try turning the Level up to 2 O’Clock, fade in your desired amount of Gain, and set the Tone to taste. You’ll notice the amp sounding fuller, with a subtle compression that helps notes jump off the fretboard. 

CLIPPING & TONE OPTIONS

ALKENE expands on the original circuit with two internal switches and one external clipping switch, giving you meaningful tonal options without overcomplicating things.

1. ASYMMETRICAL CLIPPING (External Switch)

This external switch toggles between traditional symmetrical soft clipping and asymmetrical soft clipping.

  • Right = Stock Symmetrical Clipping

  • Left = Asymmetrical Clipping

Asymmetrical clipping allows the Green side to open up and bloom in a new way, delivering more punch, a wider feel, and slightly less compression—perfect for players who want a more amp-like response. 

2. MORE CLIP (Internal – Top)

The More Clip switch engages an alternate set of hard clipping diodes, adding extra bite, aggression, and gain.

  • Right = MORE CLIP

  • Left = Stock Setting

This mode slightly reduces output volume, so you’ll want to push the Level control higher. When using More Clip, we highly recommend pairing it with Asymmetrical Clipping as a starting point.

3. LOW CUT (Internal – Bottom)

The Low Cut (bass cut) switch lets you roll off just the right amount of low end to better fit your rig.

  • Right = Stock Setting

  • Left = Low Cut Enabled

If your setup already has plenty of low end, this switch tightens things up beautifully without thinning your tone.

Accessing the Internal Switches

To access the internal switches, remove the four Phillips-head screws securing the backplate. Inside, you’ll find a small DIP switch with two positions. Using a small flathead screwdriver, carefully set each switch to your preferred configuration.

    It was the perfect suit for our big day!
    Size: X-Small, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small, Color: Purple
    Purple size xs. He's 5'9" 145-150lbs. Very impressed with this suit. The color and pattern is awesome. The fit was good. I would say this suit runs large. Usually he wears a Medium in everything but ordered an XS and it fit very well. The pants were long we had to get those hemmed. There was a few stray strings by the end of the night in areas of the suit. But overall good quality. And for a great price.

    We were excited and I wanted to like it but...
    Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
    We ordered this for Prom and it was supposed to be a size small, which was available for Prime ordering, but had to settle for xsmall. The pants, fortunately fit well and just need to be hemmed, the vest is great and the jacket is snug. My son has broad shoulders and I was hesitant to buy the xsmall, but it does fit just right. The only thing he would need to do is unbutton the jacket while he is dancing and maybe take it off while seated and eating dinner before prom. The material is surprisingly nice and has weight to it. I was relieved it isn't flimsy. The overall look on my son is smooth and we love the pattern and the material has shine to it. I was not happy that right out of the package, the button to the jacket could potentially fall off during because it doesn't look securely sewed in. The side of the right side of the jacket has thread already coming apart. And I found a little snag in a different location. I'm really not happy about that. I posted photos so you can see what I mean. We were excited about this suit, but it's going back. The company needs to do better with quality control.

    Excellent Suit for the Money. Great, rich details.
    Size: X-Large, Color: Black
    This is a stunning piece of clothing. The material for the vests and pants are so luxurious and make it look like you spent a lot of money. Great versatility and thick material of great quality. The material is made of a rich fabric that feels subtle and gentle, but with the patterns showing well. It fits well and allows for movement. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, or something to wear to a gala or bow-tie event, this is it.

    Buy the suit. Be sure to measure!
    Size: Large, Color: Red, Size: Large, Color: Red
    Suit looks better than the photo in person. The suit is also made well. Great fabric and pattern! My son is 6'1 and weighs around 135-140 pounds. I ordered a size large for him so the pants would be long enough. The pants were a little big but it was nothing a belt could not fix. The jacket and vest fit well too. The item also arrived on time. ***Suit runs small BUT if you take out time to do the measurements you will get the correct size.***
