i've had an Alpha and i've had a Mosfet Lead 100. they're almost nothing alike. the Alpha sounds super similar to the Beta, fuzzy, gritty, precise. The Lead 100 sounds like a classic Marshall. I'd imagine the Marshall would probably easier to service seeing as the Alpha shares a lot of the same circuit as the Beta which can be near impossible to fix.
