Darkglass Electronics Alpha·Omega Photon Bass Distortion Pedal

Compression

The Compression potentiometer is the one-knob solution for compression on the Alpha·Omega Φoton. This controls the amount of input gain to the compressor and intelligently applies the correct amount of makeup gain so that your signal is always driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much compression is applied.

Drive

The Drive potentiometer adds distortion and drive to our signal (modes 2-4) or blends in the tube preamp emulation (mode 1). Crank this knob to add more saturation or character to your distortion/preamp part of the signal chain.

Mod

The Mod potentiometer selects or mixes between the Alpha and Omega circuits. Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.

Blend

The Blend potentiometer mixes between the distortion signal and the clean sidechain signal.

Level

The Level potentiometer controls the master volume of the Alpha·Omega Φoton.

Touch Sensitive Sliders

Each slider has a -12 dB to 12 dB range. From left to right, the frequency bands for each slider correspond to a low shelf, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and a high shelf.
