Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra V2

Great pedal, but not 100% perfect

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.

Simply amazing

I previously owned a Darkglass Alpha Omega and after 4 years of loving everything about it I chose to upgrade to the Ultra version.

The eq is smooth and as responsive as it should be, the Drive versatility is beyond everything else I've seen or tried. Sounds even more refined and improved from the regular version of the pedal. The growl and Bite switches are smooth and work perfectly as intended.

The cabsims give literaly endless posibilities and give an impressive final touch on the overall sound played with drive or clean. The option to have just the EQ without Drive makes it even more wonderful and versatile. The aux in and headphone out also make it perfect for practice etc.

It's lightweight compact and beautiful.

Can't express enough how impressed I am of this pedal's sound and posibilities. Darkglass is beyond this world.
