Description
The Darkglass Alpha Omicron was created for the bassist who wants the Alpha Omega’s premium analog signal path and dual distortion modes in a smaller pedal format. This core series version is a bass overdrive, for use with an amplifier. For DI solutions with the Alpha/Omega tone check out the Alpha Omega and Alpha Omega Ultra Preamp pedals.
Clank and djent are this pedal’s strong suits. But thanks to a Blend control, players can unlock subtler shades of dirt with ease. Choose or mix between two distinct distortion flavors, tap into added thickness and presence via the Growl and Bite controls, then layer onto your dry bass tone to taste. Like all Darkglass pedals, the Alpha Omicron is proudly handmade in Finland from the finest parts.
The Alpha Omicron borrows the Alpha Omega’s dual-distortion engine to provide virtually limitless shades of bass drive. With the Mod control rotated fully counterclockwise, the Alpha distortion’s punchier, tighter fuzz better suits rock and progressive music. On the other end of the spectrum, the Omega’s spankier, gnarlier effect is great for soloing and modern forms.
