The Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omicron Bass Overdrive is a compact version of the previously released Alpha Omega Dual Distortion Bass Pedal delivering the same dual distortion effects at a fraction of the size. Like its bigger brother the Alpha Omicron allows you to choose from two different distortion circuits including Alpha and Omega. Alpha provides a punchy tight sound with a huge amount of definition while Omega is brutal raw and packed with power. Both circuits can be selected or blended using the additional control knobs for a unique sound. The pedal has a roadworthy chassis that can handle life on the road. The simple graphics take inspiration from the Greek alphabet.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
