Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omega Bass Preamp Pedal
$ 319.99 $ 419.99
Besides being an amazing composer, producer and bassist, Jon Stockman is amazing at crafting some of the most devastating bass tones in the world. We got together in our then Helsinki headquarters 18 months ago and after endless tweaking and tens of prototypes we are finally ready to announce our first co-designed creation: Alpha · Omega.
This creation differs greatly from our previous preamplifiers and overdrives: it is fully operational amplifier based and has two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega) which can be selected or blended using our Mod knob. This unusual control, in conjunction with the toggle switches and 3 active band equilizer makes Alpha · Omega the most flexible among our designs.
Features
Blend
- Mixes the clean and processed signals. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix tuning.
Level
- Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
Drive
- Sets the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.
Bite
- Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition.
Growl
- Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation.
Mod
- Selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.
Bass
- +-12dB @ 80Hz
Mid
- +-12dB @ 500Hz
Treble
- +-12dB @ 5kHz
Parallel Output
- Hardwired copy of your input signal, useful for getting a clean signal in recording and live situations
Direct Output
- A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for running into PA’s or studio mixing consoles.
DIMENSIONS
- 12×10.7 cm (4.72×4.21 in)
WARNING
- The Alpha·Omega has a current draw of 30mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to ecological reasons it does not accept batteries. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.

Mod
- Selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw. On the Darkglass Suite you can assign footswitch control of the Mod to toggle between Alpha and Omega.
Master
- Whereas the Level knob control the output of the overdrive section the Master volume adjusts the overall volume of the unit. Ideal for fine tuning the output on clean mode. It also serves as a DI and headphone volume control. Please note that volume is not affected by this control when the pedal is on bypass.
Bass
- Low shelf +-12dB @ 80 Hz
Mid bands
- +-10dB @ 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz
Treble
- High shelf +-12dB @ 5 kHz
Ground lift
- Disconnects the signal ground on the Direct Output to break any ground loops. Set this switch to either position that has less noise. The switch does not affect the ¼” output.
Cab Sim
- Toggle the cabinet simulation on/off on the Direct Output. This switch completely bypasses all digital circuits and allows you to get a zero latency signal when needed.
Headphones
- Alpha·Omega Ultra has an internal stereo headphone amplifier capable of driving a minimum load of 16 ohms from the 3.5mm stereo jack. Use the Master volume control to adjust the level.
USB
- A Micro USB B connector allows you to connect the pedal to PC/Mac to load cabinet simulation impulse responses to the pedal and control various other settings.
Aux In
- This 3.5mm stereo input allows you to practice with backing tracks from e.g. your smartphone or laptop. Auxiliary input can only be used with the headphone output. The pedal does not control the level, it must be set from your audio source. Remember to always first set the level low before connecting anything to the aux in!

Darkglass Electronics Harmonic Booster Bass Preamp Pedal
$ 219.99 $ 289.99
Features
Boost
- Flat -20dB to +20dB cut or boost
Character
- Allows blending in the perfect amount of the tone-shaping circuitry. It can be set counter-clockwise for a flatter frequency response
Mid gain
- +-20dB @ the frequency selected by "Mid Frequency"
Mid Frequency
- Mid frequency from 250Hz to 2.5kHz
