Darkglass - Alpha Omega

My British pals Rabea and Dave did this video. Dave besides being such a great player and producer know a lot about sound and the background he gives on the story and specs of the pedal are spot on.

that video got me even more excited to get this pedal.
 
Just got mine, it's late and I don't want to bother the neighbors hahaha

I'll test it tomorrow!



This thing rocks, it's so gnarly! Even on the alpha side! It makes my B7KU sound like a toy (I don't mean to disrespect the B7KU, I love it and it's my favorite distortion), but this thing sounds beefy! It's full bodied and well rounded, just like a good wine, rum or single malt hahaha!

Also, the GROWL and BITE switches are a nice addition, they drastically change the sound/character of the distortion (easy solution when you want an easy "fix" to sit well on the mix).

So far, I'm lovin' it!

PS: @Darkglass Crossing my fingers for an ultra version (I know, I know, I already ready the previous comments about a possible ultra version), you know I love having a MASTER control to get unity gain (right know my difference in volume from clean to distorted (AO) is SIGNIFICANT (I don't know if you remember, but I gave you the feedback about adding a master knob years ago when I first got my original B7K).

Wait couldn't you just turn down the level and adjust the blend if necessary or am I missing something? If there's actually issues with volume on switching then that definitely turns me off this, and I was just about to order :\

Volume-Blend set up is identical to the B7K.
