I got the Ultra version already, and I just try to cope with the hiss. I have a good eq on my bass amp, so for clean sounds I use that one and leave the dark glass out entirely. When I engage the distortion, the hiss doesn’t really matter anymore, since there is so much noise in the sound...

That’s good info, thanks! The way I have my pedals set up, I most likely won’t be using the clean channel of the AOU for clean sounds at all, because of the added sizzle. When I need clean I just deactivate the whole pedal and get the tone from my amp’s tone settings. Which I really like, so not...

Ah ok, so you’re saying that there is another stage in the software for setting the internal gain of the pedal? Hmm, that’s interesting. I have to play with that and see if it might help. Thanks for the tip. I haven’t even tried the cab sim yet, only been going straight to the amp from the...

Yeah, tbh the hiss / noise level when activating the pedal is slightly higher than I would have hoped. Have to see if it really is an issue or not, I didn’t try recording anything with it yet. Love the distortion tho, there is something solid in the way it sounds. I have a Dunlop cry baby and a...

The software hiss is a different issue altogether - I was referring to the actual analog ”hiss” of the pedal itself from the 1/4” output, without the cab sim involved at all. All machines generate some levels of noise, and just as madmaskbass explained that noise is naturally more present in a...

I have been looking into getting a good quality pre amp / distortion -type of solution, and I am really liking the sound of the Alpha Omega pedal. Both the distortion and the clean sound with no distortion blended in. However, reading through some of the threads here, some people have been...

Thanks man, good stuff :)

Yeah, I’m officially an idiot, it seems.. I totally forgot about the fact that Hartke might have a distributor in my country. I already sent a message to the Hartke support earlier, but I’ll contact the Hartke distributor next week. I probably should have figured this stuff out by myself...

No, I haven’t actually. I will hit them up, good call. One thing is tho that I live in Scandinavia, so anything shipped here from the US might get expensive. But I’ll try contacting them first, see if they have some ideas.

Hi everyone! A small background info type of thing, do feel free to skip if you just wish to get straight into the question: I’m nearly 40 years old, been playing a little bass here and there all my life. I’ve done a couple of recordings and some gigs subbing for a band, but years ago. I am...
