You might have been waiting for it; after the success of the ADAM, there is now a similar multi-overdrive / pre amp version from Darkglass, the Alpha Omega Photon! Just like the regular Alpha Omega, the Photon was developed in collaboration with Karnivool bassist Jon Stockman. The result is a machine that gives you your most brutal, complex and fat overdrive tones with infinite versatility of tweeking and programming. A total solution for the live bassist and a must-have for studio work!
Darkglass took the Alpha Omega, and with relentless effort added all the learned engineering to it. Placing the iconic distortion circuit in a new paradigm to enable a range of capabilities never before available.
A comprehensive design allows you to program every part of the pedal, from compression, distortion and cabinet simulation in the signal chain to presets via MIDI and the Darkglass Suite.
