often sound fizzy and lifeless without one. The frequency response from a loaded speaker cabinet is a huge part of the tone of modern music production for achieving big, natural tones out of instruments, as the raw, distorted direct signal from pre-amplifiers and pedals etc. With its two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega), extremely high dynamic range, six-band active graphic EQ, dedicated headphone output and balanced direct output with switchable digital impulse-response cabinet emulation, all make for an incredibly complete tool for the modern bass player. Omega Ultra is the most versatile bass pre-amplifier we’ve ever designed.With our latest creation, we are taking a step into the future and is the beginning of a new era. Our main goal at Darkglass Electronics is to push the boundaries of what musicians are able to achieve and to empower a musician’s creativity. Price includes next day, fully insured postage.Īs technology progresses, more and more devices are developed and placed on the market, all stretching the envelope of what’s possible. I just bought a Darkglass Harmonic Boost pedal, which has all the EQ possibilities I need, I’ll replace this with the non-Ultra model. Used very sparingly at home only, so in like new condition. Bass Preamp - Aux In.īought brand new a couple of months ago. USB MIDI is also supported.Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omega Ultra V2. Omega Photon’s USB audio interface capabilities and enables interaction with the Darkglass Suite desktop app, allowing for software updates and access to the Darkglass IR library, containing hundreds of cabinet simulations.If you feed an unbalanced input from these outputs, use an instrument cable with a mono 1/4” plug.Īn XLR output with a ground lift switch provides a reliable standard connection to a mixing desk or an external audio interface for a guaranteed low-noise signal.Ī standard 1/8” TRS (Type B) jack allows connecting an external MIDI controller to the Alpha Connect your studio monitors, amplifier or other effects to the 1/4” balanced jacks using a TRS connector (Tip +, Ring -, Sleeve GND). Omega Photon as a fully equipped audio interface.The two balanced outputs add routing versatility and the option of using the Alpha Omega Photon enables the playback of backing tracks while practicing or recording.Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the 1/4” mono jack. This is the primary instrument input on the Alpha From left to right, the frequency bands for each slider correspond to a low shelf, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and a high shelf.
The Blend potentiometer mixes between the distortion signal and the clean sidechain signal. Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw. The MOD potentiometer selects or mixes between the Alpha and Omega circuits. Omega distortion to the distorted part of the signal chain.The Drive potentiometer adds distortion and drive to your signal. This controls the amount of input gain to the compressor and intelligently applies the correct amount of makeup gain so that your signal is always driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much compression is applied. The Compression potentiometer is the one-knob solution for compression on the Alpha Fully programmable, empowered, and never before this versatile. Placing the iconic distortion circuit into a new paradigm enables a range of possibilities that were never before available.Ī comprehensive design allows programming each part of the pedal, from compression, distortion, and cabinet simulation in the signal chain to presets via MIDI and the Darkglass Suite. Omega, and with relentless efforts added all the learned engineering to it.
