Looks like we're getting a smaller version of the Alpha Omega at a more affordable price point!

Surprised that no one else has responded. A B3K sized Alpha Omega is what may convince me to try out Doug's latest design.

I've got the AOmega and it will do non clank, but demos love to show that side of DG.
Your description is quite vague, can you elaborate? Which one: A Bang? A Poop? A Fuzz? A Fizzy Fuzz? A Tear Butt? or is it more of a Rattler?
There's a lot of options in that box, and most sound pretty clear and driven.
Thats cool, Darkglass stuff isn't for everyone. Have to say, though, I've never thought any of the Darkglass offerings were "farty."
Does this pedal sound okay to you?
I've played each of those pedals and I'd gladly take this pedal over any or all of them, based on my ownership of the AOmega. The need for this pedal is so that DG can get my money and yours. They already have yours. Well, they already have mine because I own the AO, but I'd buy this one if I didn't. Also, there are people who want the AO sound but can only afford the Ao price.
Why bother to build a transparent OD? The market has tons of them. The market doesn't have many (if any) DG substitutes, so I'd say continuing in that direction is a good idea, seeing as how the demand continues.

Darkglass makes great stuff. I use the Alpha Omega currently and dig it. My alpha omega setting is basically everything a noon except the level knob and both switches on so I'm sure this pedal sounds awesome.
Still would like to see Darkglass branch out a bit. The quality of the pedals are so good i wouldn't mind having more than dirt/compression. How about a Darkglass tuner, octave, delay, envelope filter, or a power supply? Keep it all analog and give us more pedals in these great boxes. A lot of us have boards and we have these amazing quality Darkglass pedals next to cheapos that might as well be made out of plastic in comparison.

I have looked at the pricing on the Omicron and they are showing 349.00 at Bass Centre. Why would you pay that much for the Alpha Omicron when the Alpha Omega is the same price. I figured they would be around the same price as the B3K or VM on the other hand maybe Bass Centre is gouging since they are new and limited in quantity?
Where are you looking? Invalid Link Removed. Maybe something weird with currency conversions? Omicron is supposed to be $100 less than the AO
