ambient Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omega Ultra V2. Bass Preamp - Aux In. Complete with box etc. Bought brand new a couple of months ago. Used very sparingly at home only, so in like new condition. I just bought a Darkglass Harmonic Boost pedal, which has all the EQ possibilities I need, I’ll replace this with the non-Ultra model. Price includes next day, fully insured postage. Details from the Darkglass website: As technology progresses, more and more devices are developed and placed on the market, all stretching the envelope of what’s possible. Our main goal at Darkglass Electronics is to push the boundaries of what musicians are able to achieve and to empower a musician’s creativity. With our latest creation, we are taking a step into the future and is the beginning of a new era. The Alpha•Omega Ultra is the most versatile bass pre-amplifier we’ve ever designed. With its two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega), extremely high dynamic range, six-band active graphic EQ, dedicated headphone output and balanced direct output with switchable digital impulse-response cabinet emulation, all make for an incredibly complete tool for the modern bass player. The frequency response from a loaded speaker cabinet is a huge part of the tone of modern music production for achieving big, natural tones out of instruments, as the raw, distorted direct signal from pre-amplifiers and pedals etc. often sound fizzy and lifeless without one. Impulse Response (IR) cabinet emulation has become extremely popular in studio and live production in recent times, to uncompromisingly replicate the benefits of real speakers (sonic-size and presence of a full-rig), without any of the drawbacks: having an acoustically treated room (or very unhappy neighbours due to the volume), carrying bulky cabinets and/or setting up expensive microphones. As more and more musicians go direct to the board, the need and benefits of incorporating studio-grade cabinet emulation into our top-of-the-line creations was evident. Now you can have an uncompromising, dead simple and ready-to-mix sound with your Alpha•Omega Ultra everywhere you go! With the Darkglass Alpha•Omega pedal already achieving renowned success in 2017, the Ultra version has been designed to be exponentially more versatile with these ground-breaking features. The Alpha•Omega Ultra’s Virtual Cabinet functionality allows you to get a consistent studio-grade setup by incorporating an incredibly accurate representation of your favourite cabinet’s character. And since they exist in the digital domain, they can be changed in a matter of seconds via a USB port with the Darkglass Suite. Available for both PC and Mac, the Darkglass Suite is a free, easy-to-use platform for experimenting with your favourite cabinet configurations. This feature is fully switchable on the Direct Output and always-on for the headphone output, which gives you the chance to practice silently with an indescribably realistic, full-rig sound.
