The Story

Darkglass Electronics DAAOPH Overview

Placing the iconic distortion circuit into a new paradigm, the Alpha·Omega Photon from Darkglass Electronics features two distortion types (Alpha and Omega) with 6-band graphic EQ via touch-sensitive sliders. With three rotary footswitch encoders, you can select between Compression, Distortion, and Cabinet Simulation and easily tweak your tone.

The Photon features knob controls for Compression, Drive, Mod (mixture of Alpha and Omega engines), Blend (wet/dry mix), and Level for total output volume. Plenty of I/O options are available, including balanced 1/4" and XLR outputs for pro audio gear, and 3.5mm aux in, MIDI in, and headphone out connections. The headphone output has a dedicated level control knob. You can send and receive MIDI data, customize cabinet IRs, and precisely customize your pedal settings with the Darkglass Suite app over USB-C.

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
  • 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 available for adding more low-end and/or high-end sparkle.
Cabinet Simulation
The Alpha·Omega Photon 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).
EQ Control
Each slider has a -12 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.
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. Use the available impulse responses from the Darkglass library or use custom third-party impulses in the available slots. Custom routing options for each output are available and you can MIDI map to control the extra preset slots with program-change and control-change commands for the specific available controls of your choice.
