Darkglass Electronics ALPHA-OMICRON User manual

USER MANUAL

Alpha·Omicron
Beautifully Brutal
With the double distortion engine (Alpha and Omega), the
Alpha·Omicron delivers unparalleled versatility, harmonic rich
and bone-crushing sound. Designed for bassist in need of a
preamplifier to be distinctively heard in any musical context.
Warning
The Alpha·Omicron has a current draw of 20mA. Only use a
regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to
ecological reasons it does not accept batteries. Unregulated
power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in
suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit,
voiding the warranty.

Controls
Blend: Mixes the clean and processed signals. The clean
signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the
overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix
tuning.
Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
Drive: Sets the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.
Mod: Selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion
circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas
Omega is simply brutal and raw.
Bite Switch: Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional
presence and definition.
Growl Switch: Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and
increased low end saturation.
