Besides being an amazing composer, producer and bassist, Jon Stockman is amazing at crafting some of the most devastating bass tones in the world. Jon got together with the Darkglass crew in Helsinki and after endless tweaking and tens of prototypes they came up with this unique creation: Alpha · Omega.
This creation differs greatly from Darkglass' previous preamplifiers and overdrives: it is a fully operational amplifier based and has two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega) which can be selected or blended using the Mod knob. This unusual control, in conjunction with the toggle switches and 3 active band equilizer makes Alpha · Omega the most flexible among the Darkglass range.
