Description

Unleash your bass guitar's full potential with the Darkglass Electronics Alpha Omicron Signature Jon Stockman Distortion pedal. Crafted in collaboration with Jon Stockman, this pedal is designed to deliver the signature heavy and textured distortion that has become synonymous with his sound. The Alpha Omicron packs the essence of its big brother, the Alpha Omega, into a compact enclosure, offering the same powerful tone-shaping capabilities while saving valuable pedalboard space.

Built to withstand the rigors of live performance, the Alpha Omicron is housed in a robust metal chassis. Whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or rocking the stage, this pedal is your trusty companion for achieving those crushing bass tones.

Key Features:

  • Dual distortion circuits: Alpha and Omega
