Versatility, empowerment, limitless options, and ever-demanding tools at the disposal of every musician and composer are today on demand. A call for inventive devices continues to make musicians more inspired, clever and connected. That's what Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon pedal delivers!
Darkglass has taken its Alpha Omega, and with relentless efforts, added all the learned engineering to it. They've placed the iconic distortion circuit into a new paradigm to enable a range of possibilities that were never before available. A comprehensive design allows for programming of each part of the pedal, from compression, distortion, and cabinet simulation in the signal chain to presets via MIDI and the Darkglass Suite. The Alpha Omega now has its ultimate interface. Fully programmable, empowered, and more versatile than ever before!
Controls & Key Features
- Compression — One-knob solution for compression on the Alpha·Omega Photon. Controls the amount of input gain to the compressor and intelligently applies the correct amount of makeup gain so that your signal is always driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much compression is applied.
- Drive — Adds distortion to your signal. Crank this knob to apply the Alpha·Omega distortion to the distorted part of the signal chain.
- Mod — Selects or mixes between the Alpha and Omega circuits. Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.
- Blend — Mixes between the distortion signal and the clean side-chain signal.
- Level — Controls the master volume of the Alpha·Omega Photon.
- Touch Sensitive Sliders — Each slider has a -12 dB to 12 dB range. From left to right, the frequency bands for each slider correspond to a low shelf, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz, and a high shelf.
- Input — This is the primary instrument input on the Alpha·Omega Photon. Connect your instrument or output from your pedalboard to the 1/4” mono jack.
- Aux In — The stereo input of the Alpha·Omega Photon enables the playback of backing tracks while practicing or recording. Connect your mobile phone, laptop etc. to the 1/8” stereo jack.
- Headphone Output — Allows for silent practice.
- Balanced Outputs — Add routing versatility and the option of using the Alpha·Omega Photon as a fully equipped audio interface. Connect your studio monitors, amplifier or other effects to the 1/4” balanced jacks using a TRS connector (Tip +, Ring -, Sleeve GND). If you feed an unbalanced input from these outputs, use an instrument cable with a mono 1/4” plug.
- Direct Output — An XLR output with a ground lift switch provides a reliable standard connection to a mixing desk or an external audio interface for a guaranteed low-noise signal.
- MIDI In — A standard 1/8” TRS (Type B) jack allows connecting an external MIDI controller to the Alpha·Omega Photon for even more flexibility.
- USB — The USB-C port unlocks the Alpha·Omega Photon’s USB audio interface capabilities and enables interaction with the Darkglass Suite desktop app, allowing for software updates and access to the Darkglass IR library, containing hundreds of cabinet simulations. USB MIDI is also supported.
