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. Review: 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 desertcart, because for $60 what the hell, I certainly wouldn't break the bank. It took an uncharacteristically long time from desertcart..(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..... ## Features - Multi Guitar Effect Pedal: The three-in-one multi guitar effect contains 3 types of guitar effects in one chain, including delay, chorus, and distortion, suitable for various music styles. - Premium Tone: Delay model produces a warm, analog-voiced delay with rich echo feedback, the max delay time is 1000ms. The chorus model provides a pure and warm for creating natural sense of space. Distortion model brings classic British hi-gain sound with a wide tonal range, an ideal choice for classic rock music styles. - Easy to Control: Every effect mode has three function knobs. Control three function knobs and choose the different models you want to make your music tone. And True bypass switch makes your instruments’ signal pass through a non-electronic bypass line. LED indicator indicates the working state. - Portability and Convenience: The multi guitar pedal are so lightweight and portable that it is easy to carry on. - Advanced Design: The aluminium-alloy case of the guitar pedal is so sturdy and durable that is your faithful guitar partner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071F4D3CF | | Amperage | 70 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Delay, Chorus, Distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,598 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #45 in Electric Guitar Floor Multieffects | | Brand | Donner | | Brand Name | Donner | | Color | Delay Chorus Distortion | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch mono audio jack | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 648 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Donner Octave Square Pedal, Pedal Adapter, User’s Manual | | Item Dimensions | 1.97 x 2.91 x 13.39 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.7"L x 2.5"W x 1.8"H | | Item Type Name | Donner Multi Guitar Effect Pedal Alpha Cruncher 3 Type Effects Delay Chorus Distortion Pedal with Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Donner | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10767649 | | Model Name | Alpha Cruncher | | Model Number | EC962 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 7.7"L x 2.5"W x 1.8"H | | Set Name | Delay Chorus Distortion | | Signal Format | Analog | | Sound Profile | Rock, Warm, Hi-Gain, Analog Delay | | Style | Classic | | UPC | 708302975735 708302989091 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Donner - **Color:** Delay Chorus Distortion - **Item Weight:** 0.4 Kilograms - **Product Dimensions:** 7.7"L x 2.5"W x 1.8"H - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![Multi Effects Guitar Pedal Alpha Cruncher 3 Type Effects Delay Chorus Distortion Pedal with Adapter for Electric Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rZO+RLv9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it also have a battery jack.** A: Thanks for your questions It doesn't have a battery jack ,but it come with a power adapter . **Q: Is this item pink?** A: More of a light red.

The Alpha Cruncher has arguably the 3 most popular effects guitarists use and it's small enough to fit easily in your gigbag or in the back of your amp. I'll definitely be bringing this with me as a backup to every gig! No on to the more detailed part of the review. The distortion is a bit harsh for my typical style but it is decent. It doesn't get too muddy and overall it's easy to dial in a usable tone. I have my treble dialed almost all the way back on my Princeton Reverb with a Les Paul and still find it to be a bit trebly The chorus is great. I find it to be rather subtle which I prefer. It comes out a bit more when the distortion is engaged. I find it doesn't have as much of the psycho chorus settings that some other pedals have but that's more extreme than I believe the normal user needs. The delay is great. Fairly easy to use and sounds good. Construction is solid and it comes with what seems to be an 8-10 foot power adapter. I'm not sure the exact length since my tape measure only goes to 6 feet. This may seem like a small detail but it is super convenient I would like to see another option of this pedal with tap tempo delay and a tuner built in. I'd like for more of a Tube Screamer tone and a phaser instead of chorus but that's just because of the stuff I play. Overall it's a great pedal for less than $70. Anyone should be able to buy this. It's a great value for anyone who wants a portable rig, needs a backup, or who just bought their first electric guitar and needs some effects on a budget. ## Frequently Bought Together - Donner Multi Effects Guitar Pedal Alpha Cruncher 3 Type Effects Delay Chorus Distortion Pedal with Adapter for Electric Guitar - Donner DPA-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply Adapter 9V DC 1A Tip Negative 5 Way Daisy Chain Cables for Guitar Effect Pedal - Donner 6 Inch Guitar Patch Cable Guitar Effect Pedal Cables Black 6 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/42656755-multi-effects-guitar-pedal-alpha-cruncher-3-type-effects-delay](https://www.desertcart.de/products/42656755-multi-effects-guitar-pedal-alpha-cruncher-3-type-effects-delay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
