Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra V2

Bass preamp/distortion pedal

Blend: Mixes the clean and the processed signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain, while the volume of the overdriven signal is adjusted with the level control, allowing fine tuning of the blend.

Level: Adjusts the volume of the overdrive signal.

Drive: Adjusts the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.

Bite: Boosts the high mids (2.8kHz) for added presence and definition.

Growl: Bass boost for a fatter tone and more saturation in the bass range.

Mod: Selects or mixes between the two different distortion circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with lots of definition, while Omega is simply brutal and raw. With the Darkglass Suite, you can assign the Mod footswitch control to switch between Alpha and Omega.

Master: While the Level knob controls the output of the overdrive section, the Master Volume controls the overall volume of the device. Ideal for fine-tuning the output in clean mode. It also serves as a DI and headphone volume control. Please note that the volume is not affected by this control when the pedal is set to 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 at the direct output in order to interrupt any ground loops. Set this switch to any position that has less noise. The switch has no effect on the ¼" output.

Cab Sim: Switch the cabinet simulation on/off at the direct output. This switch completely bypasses all digital circuitry and allows you to get a latency-free signal if required.

Headphones: The Alpha-Omega Ultra has an internal stereo headphone amplifier capable of driving a minimum load of 16 ohms at the 3.5mm stereo jack. Use the master volume control to adjust the level.

USB: Micro USB-B connector allows you to connect the pedal to a PC/Mac to load cabinet simulation impulse responses into the pedal and control various other settings.

Aux In: This 3.5 mm stereo input allows you to practice with backing tracks from e.g. your smartphone or laptop. The auxiliary input can only be used with the headphone output. The pedal does not control the level, it must be set by your audio source. Remember to always set the level low first before connecting anything to the auxiliary input!
