Darkglass Alpha Omega 900 Centurion Limited Edition

Clean section with 6-band equalizer

The completely analogue preamp of the Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega 900 features a clean section, whose extremely transparent sound guarantees an unaltered output of the instrument used and the playing technique. The graphic 6-band equalizer allows for extremely precise sound adjustment, whereas the integrated compressor with straightforward one-knob control guarantees a smooth and rich sound experience.

Alpha ∙ Omega engine for variable distortion

The sonic heart of the Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega is undoubtedly the eponymous Alpha-Omega engine, which is a direct descendant of the distortion pedal co-developed by Jon Stockman (Karnivool) and promises variable distortion sounds. The Mod control fades between the Alpha circuit, which provides a tight, powerful drive, and the Omega circuit, which provides unbridled, brutal distortion with maximum gain. In addition, the Growl switch saturates the bass foundation on demand, whereas the Bite switch sets the high mid-range at 2.8 kHz for increased definition and assertiveness. The Blend control can be used to mix in the dry bass signal continuously to maintain pressure and thrust in the low end.

900 Watt Class D power amplifier

For maximum volume reserves and an extremely powerful sound image that pushes every note down into the pit of your stomach, the Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega 900 is equipped with a modern Class D power amplifier that delivers a full 900 watts to the bass speakers despite its transport-friendly format. These can be safely connected to the head via two combination sockets, and thanks to the 2-Ohm mode, combinations of two 4-Ohm cabinets are possible as well.

DI-Out and headphone-out connections with speaker simulation

Furthermore the Darkglass Alpha ∙ Omega 900 features balanced pre-DI and post-DI outputs for direct pickup of the dry input signal and the processed bass sound, whereas the headphone jack allows for silent practising. The speaker simulations for both promises a particularly natural sound experience thanks to the use of Impulse Responses (IRs). These speaker simulations can be easily exchanged via the USB connection and the free Darkglass Suite.
