Alpha·Omega Ultra – Darkglass Electronics on the website it says you can use the suite to change between the Alpha and omega with the switch. Look under the mod knob description.
I concur, except I would say this is a "big gripe" because I'm sure that in the development phase of this pedal they knew they would come out with three versions and most likely people would buy all three. IMO, this is kinda slimy business wise, but then again I'm not a DG fanboy so what do I know.
I wouldn’t call their business model “kinda slimy” at all. Are we expecting them to sit on the same pedal models from now until some year determined OK for them to release something new and innovative?
Fair enough argument, and perhaps slimy was a bit harsh. I'm just sick of these companies constantly "improving" the circuit every few months because despite what you say above, I do believe it sets up in people's minds that their old ones are just not quite good enough, even though as you rightly say, they are. It just smacks of slightly underhanded business practices to me. I'm not saying don't introduce new pedals. I'm just saying that these things could be done a little better. Like perhaps a whole new pedal with a different name? That, to me, would be a little more kind to the consumer, even if the end pedal is the same as this one.I wouldn’t call their business model “kinda slimy” at all.

If you’ve got the money (and I’m sure some of us do), you have the option of buying a brand new piece of Darkglass.. and if you don’t have the money, there’s still absolutely nothing at all wrong with the Darkglass you already own.
I just picked up a B7KU fairly recently, and I plan on using it for a while.. I’m glad Doug & Co. are still pushing things forward, though I wish they’d use basses other than Dingwalls for their demos
