Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon
Description
Front Panel Features
Compression
The Compression potentiometer is the one-knob solution for compression on the Alpha·Omega Φoton. This 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
The Drive potentiometer adds distortion and drive to our signal (modes 2-4) or blends in the tube preamp emulation (mode 1). Crank this knob to add more saturation or character to your distortion/preamp part of the signal chain.
Mod
The Mod potentiometer 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
The Blend potentiometer mixes between the distortion signal and the clean sidechain signal.
Level
The Level potentiometer controls the master volume of the Alpha·Omega Φoton.
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.
Dimensions
Width: 18 cm / 7″
Length: 12 cm / 4 ½”
Height: 6 cm / 2 ½”
Weight: 0,7 kg / 1,55 lb
Compressor
This control allows setting the input gain of the compressor that will translate into how much the signal is compressed while our intelligent make-up gain algorithm keeps the output of the compressor at usable levels. The compressor has 5 ratios available: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 and ALL IN.
Distortion
At the heart of the distortion circuit is an accurate model of the Alpha·Omega distortion. Carefully developed in collaboration with Jon Stockman, the Alpha·Omega offers two distinct distortions that can be blended for even further versatility. The familiar Growl and Bite boost functions are also available for adding more low end and/or high end sparkle.
Cabinet Simulation
The Alpha·Omega Φoton supports Impulse Response (IR) cabinet simulations and has 5 cabinet slots on board. The default IRs have been selected by the Darkglass Team. New IRs can be assigned to the 5 slots using the Darkglass Suite (desktop or mobile).
Darkglass Suite
Utilizing the desktop or mobile version of the Darkglass Suite allows you to customize the settings of each preset to your liking. The signal chain options are available with the embedded noise gate, in addition with the use of the available impulse responses from our library or your custom third party impulses to the available slots.
Custom routing options for each output are available and MIDI mapping to control the extra preset slots with program change commands and control change commands for the specific available controls of your choice.
