A Darkglass Reference at the Heart of Modern Sounds
The Alpha Omega Ultra V2 follows the line of Darkglass preamps that have become essential for bassists seeking a modern, clear, and aggressive sound when needed. The guiding idea is simple: to offer a "studio-ready" sound base in a pedal format, with a saturation section capable of covering very different ranges, and an equalization precise enough to adapt to any amp, cabinet, or sound system.
Thanks to its two distortion circuits Alpha and Omega, this bass preamp pedal allows exploring textures ranging from light coloration to muscular drive, without sacrificing attack definition. It naturally sits at the end of the chain as the nerve center of the pedalboard or as an all-in-one solution to go directly to the front of house via the DI.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
The Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra V2 is aimed at bassists who want full control over their sonic identity, whether you play with a pick, fingers, or slap. It suits both intermediate musicians looking for a versatile and easy-to-integrate preamp, and professionals who need a consistent and reliable signal on stage.
Regarding styles, it excels in aesthetics where the bass must remain present and articulate: modern rock, metal, prog, hardcore, stoner, but also punchy pop and alternative music. In the studio, its direct output and switchable cab simulation make it an excellent option for quickly recording usable takes, while the headphone output and auxiliary input turn the pedal into a true silent practice station.
Questions frequently asked
Can the Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra V2 be connected directly to a mixing console?
The balanced XLR direct output allows connection to a mixing console, a microphone preamp, or a PA system. The Cab Sim switch activates the speaker cabinet simulation on this output. Disabling it completely bypasses the digital circuits to provide a zero-latency signal.
What is the difference between the Alpha and Omega distortion circuits?
The Alpha circuit emphasizes precision and attack sharpness, while the Omega circuit produces a thicker and rougher saturation.
Is it possible to play with headphones along with a backing track?
A 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone output with an internal amplifier supports headphones with a minimum impedance of 16 ohms. The 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary input allows adding an audio source, whose level is adjusted from the connected device.
How can speaker cabinet simulations be loaded onto this Darkglass pedal?
The Micro USB B connection links the pedal to a PC or Mac to load speaker impulse responses and access additional settings.
What power supply is required for the Alpha Omega Ultra V2?
A regulated 9 V DC power supply with negative center is required, with a consumption of 130 mA.
