Drive us the Alpha Omega and a sub circuit. Not sure ifs all digital or a mix of both.

Nice overview. Seems very well thought out and might offer something for people who already have each individual effect.

Judging by the power draw, I'd assume all digital.  Kinda the direction Darkglass has gone on these days, not a bad thing necessarily but when you consider the price of these preamp, buy a couple of them and you may as well get a full digital processor and get a hell of a lot more.

Yeah I was thinking it might have the AO drive circuit and digital octave but likely easier to go full digital. 
 

Im guessing they’d have made a deal out of it being One or t’other.

Kaamos = the time when the sun does not rise during wintertime in the north. Has to be one dark sounding unit.

Very interesting pedal. Amos' NAMM demo was great.

It's great to see another bass player bringing out their own parallel Octave + Drive unit 🤘

I had Tom over at COG Effects build me a custom parallel Octave/Drive unit over a decade ago called the Octagrit.

About £400.

 

Shows how mad the pedal market is these days when I saw the price and wasn't surprised.

Here's Amos explaining and demo-ing the pedal. The routing options look very interesting.

I was wondering where his demo was as a few other folk had posted theirs.

Really well thought out unit.

I thought that, more than I’d spend on one but could definitely be the core of a pedalboard.

yeah hotter too about the price but it’s where I kinda expected to see a DG pedal. £389 ish

I’ll just leave this here …

Nate always does the most interesting demos.

 

It's too expensive for me, but I like the sounds - probably because they don't sound like the now very common DG sound.

Just goes to show its how you use it, as there's nothing non-Darkglass about the capability of this one, just a digital Alpha Omega with additional octave and routing.
