Darkglass Alpha Omega - Effects for Bass

You wont see to many reviews on the Darkglass Alpha Omega Dual Bass Preamp OD Pedal because some bassists wouldn't think of spending this kind of money on a pedal. My advice, dont think that way if your serious about your playing. When was the last time you plugged into a pedal that really made you smile large. I don't want to repeat what others have said already, but I will echo its the best sounding distortion and outperforms every pedal I have and had period! I'm fastidious with my tone. I have my clean sound I stick too but never really found a distortion tone I can mix with it (whether it was Tech21 or a multi effect pedal that simulates popular distortion pedals) that I could dial into and say, Yeah this is it! I bought the Aftershock pedal and felt it would help me get that dirt tone I was looking for with all its options and software patches. It came close but too much tweaking for my taste. IMO reading reviews carries more weight than watching video demos on pedals that are polished and made to look and sound great. Who would buy a pedal if it didn't sound good in a video? I get Darkglass is not cheap, alot of dudes don't even bother looking into it because of the price, as I did. But when I followed up on the Alpha/Omega OD Preamp, read reviews everywhere, listen to demos and than plugged into one. Holy Shi-ola, I found that distortion tone I wanted and it sounds pretty dam close to the video demos. Tech21 and the Aftershock are decent pedals I have them as well but, if you want that tight, distortion that sounds real (not synthetic or noisy) without sacrificing your tone or bottom end and gives you that vibe knowing you and the band sound better. This is it! It maybe in the $300 dollar range but worth every penny.

Great Bass Overdrive!

What a monster of a pedal. I mean wow, this pedal is firepower in a brick. I never really bothered with pedals on bass, but this one is fully deserving of the title of the Alpha and the Omega. This pedal adds a crushing, window-breaking tone to your bass, and it’s freaky how much volume it can add. I’ve never been in a situation where I could justify cranking my cabinet to max volume, but this thing will definitely be ready for it when the day comes. There’s a lot of good fine control on this pedal, and it’s much more variable and easy to dial in than almost any other pedals I’ve used. You also get a free Darkglass branded pick and holographic sticker with it, as a small bonus. 10/10, I might not be as good as Nolly Getgood, but at least my tone sounds the part.

Strong and with a lot of possibilities!!
