Darkglass Alpha Omega 900

Clean department with 6-band equalizer

The Darkglass Alpha Omega 900's completely analog preamplifier has a clean section whose extremely transparent sound guarantees an unadulterated reproduction of the instrument used and the playing technique. The graphic 6-band equalizer allows the extremely precise tuning of the sound image, while the integrated compressor with straight one-knob control guarantees a smooth and rich sound experience.

Alpha ∙ Omega Engine for variable distortion

The Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega's Alpha-Omega engine is without a doubt the heart of the Alpha ∙ Omega's sound, which derives directly from the distortion pedal developed with Jon Stockman (Karnivool) and promises variable distortion sounds. Accordingly, the mod control fades between the alpha circuit, which has a tight, powerful drive, and the omega circuit, which stands for unbridled, brutal distortion with maximum gain. In addition, the Growl switch saturates the bass foundation if desired, while the Bite switch determines the highs at 2.8 kHz for increased definition and assertiveness. Of course, the dry bass signal can be continuously mixed in via the blend control to maintain pressure and thrust in the low-end.

Class D power amplifier with 900 watts

For maximum volume reserves and an extremely powerful sound that pushes every note played into the pit of the stomach with force, the Darkglass Alpha Omega 900 is equipped with a contemporary Class D power amplifier that delivers a full 900 watts to the bass speakers despite its transport-friendly format. These can be connected securely to the top section via two combination sockets, whereby combinations of two 4 ohm cabinets are also possible thanks to the 2 ohm mode.

Connectors for direct pickup and headphones with speaker simulation

In addition, the Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega 900 features balanced pre-DI and post-DI outputs for direct pickup of the dry input signal and processed bass, while the headphone jack allows silent practice. A loudspeaker simulation is available for direct pickup and headphone connection, which promises particularly natural sound experiences thanks to the use of Impulse Responses (IRs). The loudspeaker simulations can be easily exchanged via the USB port and the free Darkglass suite.
