Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon combines Darkglass' signature Alpha-Omega parallel distortion with the versatile format of the Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine pedal. In addition to powerful distortion and studio-quality compression, Alpha Omega Photon is capable as an audio interface via USB-C or an amp replacement using cab sim IRs and XLR DI output.
- Advanced Alpha-Omega distortion and compression pedal
- MIDI input to externally control parameters
- 6-band graphic EQ
- 5 compressor modes
- 5 distortion modes
- 5 cabinet simulation impulse responses
- Aux input and headphone output
- Audio interface capability over USB-C
Alpha Omega Photon has a unique distortion engine that blends aggressive distortion with multiband compression for a thick and powerful bass tone.
Compression and distortion can be bypassed independently and both have five selectable modes.
The selectable cabinet simulation can use any of five onboard IRs. Cab sim can be used with the headphone output, XLR DI output or stereo line outputs.
The six-band graphic EQ has the same touch-sensitive sliders found on Darkglass Element.
The footswitches double as rotary potentiometers, allowing you to select among the distortion modes, compression modes and cab sim IRs.
Darkglass Suite is a free application for desktop and mobile platforms that unlocks access to a growing library of high-quality IR cabinet simulations. The desktop version also enables firmware updates and loading your own 3rd party cabinet simulations.
