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. Omega Photon.Įach slider has a -12 dB to 12 dB range.The Level potentiometer controls the master volume of the Alpha 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.

Direct Output - A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for running into PA’s or studio mixing consoles.Parallel Output - Hardwired copy of your input signal, useful for getting a clean signal in recording and live situations.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.Growl - Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation.Bite - Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition.Drive - Sets the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.Level - Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix tuning. Blend - Mixes the clean and processed signals.Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty. Due to ecological reasons it does not accept batteries. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. It's an unusual control that works in conjunction with the onboard toggle switches as well as the three (3) active band equalizer, all making this pedal among the most flexible effects from Dark Glass. These can be selected or blended with the Mod knob. Omega is a Bass pre-amp that features two (2) distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega).
