Darkglass Electronics AlphaOmicron - Boutique Dual Voiced Distortion Pedal for Electric Bass Guitar
2017 saw the release of an all-new beast of a pedal from Darkglass Electronics: The Alpha/Omega! This dual-voiced distortion pedal, with built in Preamp and DI capabilities, has taken the bassplaying world by storm with it's distinct design, unparalleled versatility and sheer display of brutality.
Put simply: it's the new standard for bassists in need of a preamp to be apologetically heard in any musical context.
And now, for those of you not in need of the preamp section, but desperately wanting to get your hands on the distortion circuitry, there's a brand new pedal from Darkglass. Introducing: the Alpha/Omicron!
All the bite and growl of the Alpha/Omega, in a smaller, more-affordable package
The double distortion engine present in the Alpha Omicron delivers all of the same harmonically rich, varied textures that it's bigger brother can offer, but at a size that won't take up much room on your pedal board, and at a price that's more attainable.
The secret to the Alpha Omicron's versatility lies in the controls:
< li >Blend: This mixes both the clean and processed signals, allowing you as much low-end clarity as you wish
< li >Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal
< li >Growl Switch: Shelving Bass Boost to give you a thicker tone and even more low-end saturation
< li >Mod: This is the eponymous Golden Ticket. This control knob is where you mix the two distortion circuits! Alpha gives you a punch and tight saturation, with plenty of definition, whilst Omega is just simply brutal
< li >Drive: Sets the level of gain in your overdriven signal
< li >Bite Switch: Delivers a high-mid (2.8kHz) boost for further presence and definition
Each and every Darkglass Electronics pedal is lovingly handcrafted at the Darkglass HQ in Finland.
