A Machine Designed with Nolly: From Pedalboard to Audio Interface
Born from a collaboration with Adam "Nolly" Getgood, the Darkglass ADAM focuses on a very "production" approach to sound: a solid foundation (compression), crafted saturation (distortion), then surgical shaping (EQ + impulse responses). All in a pedal format designed for seamless transition from home studio to live, with audio routing tailored for modern setups (in-ear monitors, studio monitoring, USB recording).
Who Is the Darkglass ADAM For, and Which Styles Does It Excel In?
The ADAM is aimed at bassists (and low-tuned guitarists) seeking a precise, dense, and controlled sound typical of current metal productions. It excels in metal, djent, death metal, deathcore, prog, but remains relevant whenever a firm low end, clear attack, and distortion that "holds" the mix are needed.
Practically, it suits both intermediate musicians looking for a simple all-in-one solution (3 presets + clear controls) and advanced users wanting a programmable platform (MIDI, USB, IR) to organize their stage and studio sounds. On a pedalboard, it can become the core of the sound; live, it also serves as a preamp/DI with headphone monitoring.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Darkglass ADAM suitable for modern metal and low tunings?
The compression, distortion, and impulse response chain is designed for tight lows and clear attack. The Blend mixes the saturated signal with a clean sidechain, preserving the foundation in low tunings.
Can the ADAM be recorded directly via USB?
The USB-C port includes an audio interface compatible with 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. The USB channels include a processed or bypassed signal, a raw signal, and the left and right Aux/Bluetooth channels.
What equalization settings are available?
The programmable graphic EQ has 6 touch bands: low shelf, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and high shelf. Each band offers a gain range from -12 dB to +12 dB.
Can the XLR DI output be connected to a mixing console?
A direct XLR output with a Ground Lift switch is provided for this connection. Its routing is linked to the instrument output and USB channel 5 mono.
How many presets and which MIDI options are offered?
Three presets A, B, and C store settings for compression, drive, EQ, and IR. The 3.5 mm mini-jack TRS MIDI input accepts Program Change commands for presets. Control Change CC 0 to 13 allow control of knobs, touch sliders, and encoders.
