Darkglass themselves state that the Alpha Omega Ultra is the most versatile bass preamp that they have ever conceived. Featuring two distinctive distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega), this stompbox also has an extremely high dynamic range; complete with a flexible 6-band active graphic EQ.

A host of other contemporary features, including a newly-introduced aux input, make for an incredibly comprehensive tool for the modern bass player!

The Ultimate Tone-Shaper

The Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra V2 sports a highly-tweakable 6-band EQ section, allowing you to dig seriously deep with your bass sound. And with the ability to even blend your clean input signal with the processed overdriven signal, you can precisely determine just the right amount of dirt. It doesn't get much more versatile than this!

Convincing Cab Simulation

Modern appointments include a USB port for loading virtual cabinet impulse responses into the pedal from the Darkglass Suite, as well as a cab-simulated 3.5mm headphone output for silent practice. A balanced XLR output with switchable cab simulation is also available, for sending the pedal's signal straight to a front-of-house PA system or into your interface for direct, hassle-free recording.

Aux In

Undoubtedly, one of best features that the Alpha Omega Ultra V2 has to offer is its 3.5mm stereo aux input. This enables you to play along to backing tracks or your favourite songs via a connected smartphone, tablet or laptop.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Tags

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
