More flexibility in your cab choices with this versatile amp.
The Darkglass Alpha·Omega 500 bass amplifier takes the best elements of Darkglass' most successful distortion preamplifier ever, combined with state-of-the-art features, to make a powerful 500-watt amplifier. While Darkglass' signature Alpha and Omega drive engines add incredible girth and size to the overdriven signal, the studio-grade VCA compressor adds an extra layer of control, and the ultraquiet 6-band graphic equalizer can help sculpt the tone from aggressive and overdriven to crystal clear clean, whatever your needs may be.
A new superior custom-designed Darkglass high-efficiency class-D power amplifier module is the heart of this new line of their 500W amplifiers. It enables the usage of speaker cabs with impedance as low as 2 ohm, adding a new level of flexibility for your cabinet options. The cabinet simulation utilizes an improved version of their Cab Sim module. The module has three slots for hi-res impulse responses which are active for both the headphone output and the balanced XLR DI output.
Distortion
Use this push button to turn on or off the Alpha·Omega Engine to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high-gain bass rage. The Alpha·Omega Engine operates before the clean section (you can therefore use the 6-band active EQ for additional tone shaping).
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.
Darkgless Suite
The USB connector allows you to use the Darkglass Suite to load different cabinet impulses or change different parameters on your amp.
