About Us

Founded in Longwood, Florida, Alpha Distribution is a premier, specialized distributor in the musical instrument industry, dedicated to bringing exceptional, high-quality gear to dealers and players across the United States.

Established by industry veteran Jack Thompson, Alpha was created to fill a critical gap: providing a truly responsive and professional distribution solution for niche, specialized products that demand more than standard handling. With decades of deep experience in the MI world, Jack built Alpha to champion innovative brands that deserve expert advocacy, strategic placement, and genuine support in the largest musical instruments market on the planet.

Our carefully curated lineup features some of the finest makers in power supplies, effects, cables, and instruments, including:

  • CIOKS — Danish-engineered pedalboard power solutions renowned for reliability and low noise
  • Seamoon FX — Creative, high-performance bass and guitar effects pedals
  • SP Cables — Premium interconnects and performance cables built for stage and studio
  • Richter — Handmade German guitar straps favored by top professionals worldwide
  • Manhattan Prestige Basses — Elite, handcrafted basses blending tradition and modern innovation
  • Amptweaker — Iconic, player-focused pedals from the mind of James Brown

What sets Alpha apart is our unwavering commitment to personalized service. We’re big enough to make things happen — securing prime shelf space, driving marketing initiatives, and delivering consistent results for our manufacturers — yet small and agile enough to stay genuinely responsive. We listen closely to our clients’ needs, adapt quickly to market shifts, and provide the hands-on attention that larger distributors often can’t match.

At Alpha Distribution, we’re not just moving boxes; we’re building partnerships, elevating brands, and helping great products reach the musicians who will love them. Whether you’re a manufacturer seeking dedicated U.S. representation or a retailer looking for standout, hard-to-find gear, we’re your trusted advocate in the MI industry.
