Alpha Omega Ultra V2 : Great pedal, but not 100% perfect

4 years ago

PERFECT for a flying rig: you can go to FOH directly with this pedal, the cabs choice is great, you can even upload your IRs!

I DO LOVE the eq bands: very precise, easy to use, also with leds! Beautiful!

GREAT DISTORTION: You have the Alpha (more classic type of distortion) distortion AND the Omega (very aggressive type of distortion). You can blend the 2 for perfect results.

WISH LIST:

1) You cannot store favourite presets (it would have been great something like you press the footswitch for 3 seconds and you can save a preset).

2) Instead of growl and byte buttons I would have added the bass and treble knobs of the Harmonic booster.

CONS:

I think you need an extra pedal to really sculpt the tone of the Alpha Omega Ultra V2. This is why I also bought the Darkglass Harmonic Booster. Without it the sound is a little bit muffled, like covered with a blanket.

For the growl and byte buttons I would have used little on/off switches.
