DARKGLASS ALPHA • OMEGA 900

WATCH THIS VIDEO from our visit at the Darkglass factory -----► kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTGnmp_fNGAqpI

[@iantruax17]

Dude looks like an angry bass playing garden gnome.

[@forever3797]

I prefer to believe he is Amish. When he is done with his bass playing he changes clothes and drives a horse and buggy back to the farm. This is his super hero disguise - like Clark Kent he hides in plain sight.

[@gnomebrewing]

Quite awesome indeed.

[@allendestine3406]

😭😭

[@zamkowicz]

Can't afford most of the stuff you guys review, especially Darkglass gear, but I come back regularly to hear Rene and Lars do their bass magic

[@martian9999]

I just watch these videos because of this guy's witty and original presentation. Don't need the equipment, but can always use the entertainment!

[@tillpoot6340]

I absolutely love everything made by darkglass. Their stuff is just next level amazing

[@gianlucabassi8853]

For the Moment I Just tried their Cabs and had to buy One..but love them all....

[@lavadoraautomatica1]

Rene is such a filthy amazing player definitely one of my favorite players ever! WE NEED TO GET HIM in Scott bass lessons and clinic in america.

[@dbjardim]

I really like to see and hear René playing! Awesome amp!

[@thesisters1349]

That is probably the best class D amp I've ever heard. Great video Gregor and Renee. You capture the tones so purely. Btw, I watched that visit to DG factory when it came out... Peace and basses

[@basstheworldofficial]

good man!

[@arvindramesh1830]

peace and basses, i like that

[@mikiryann5882]

We love rene. I play in a metalcore band and this seems like a really good investment. This amp with my Warwick german Corvette would be a monster sound! Greetings from California 🤘😁

[@JeremyHolmes]

This amp freed me up from so much unneeded gear, and blew a hole through my bass tracking workflow; I am so very stoked on it. Did I read somewhere that the S.I. Footswitch can be used to toggle the cab modeling on the AO900, or is it just the individual buttons as opposed to the single button switch? Thank you Infinite love & gratitude from Colorado!

[@DaxterZA]

Great review! I actually got a Cort B5 AS RM (Yes the BassTheWorld review sold me on it, haha) the other day, so this demo was just perfect!

[@ozm8642]

Best overdrive amp you can find. Makes the Ob1-500 sound like a kazoo

[@patrickr12342]

Qualität,Flexibilität und enorm Leistung zeichnen dieses Monster aus. Ist schon ne tolle Sache, zu fairen Preisen

[@hershellumiere]

As a guitar player this seems like the name of this thing is exactly what it says on the tin. The first and last bass amp I’m gonna need.

[@michaelbosi8104]

If i didn't have 10,000 amplifiers, would buy this in a heartbeat!

[@ernieD]

Yup, my DG B3K pedal gives me all i want. With 14 basses, 6 bass heads, 2 combos, 9 bass cabs and shitload of pedals..I'm pretty much done....for now. ;>)

i dont like the price LOL

Ill buy one of these, but only if you say, "YOU ARE A CHOIR BOY COMPARED TO ME"

Got mine on the way. Just - which cab is best? Thinking 1 4x10 & 1 2x12.

It sounds better than my "first act" amp

[@ransombaggins9301]

1. Looks awesome. Newbie here learning about all this stuff and I love the look and sound of this. 2. As of today, your link to buy this in the States is sending us to a speaker on the Sweetwater site. :)

[@TheRiffingFatboy]

What about using it as a poweramp for guitar?

[@MrToonfish]

Is the beanie comes with the amp in the box ? Obviously wearing a bass beanie or a having a fret wrap on the nut is top notch these days no matter how good you are... The must have is of course the bass beanie AND the fret wrap in the same time, this make you the king of bass. Over the years, bass is coming just a fashion thing... I don't really explain why, maybe I'm too old for that sh**, why am I regretting the good ol' days ? Yeah, I have an answer maybe, I am now totally "has been" or just "has beanie" listening to James Jamerson, Peter Cetera, Phil Lynott, Roger Waters, Paul Simonon, Mel Schacher, John Entwistle, Pino Palladino (the great Pino I should say), Scott LaFaro, Jack Casady, Cris Squire, Aston Barret, Tony Levin, Louis Johnson and many, many many others... Bass wasn't a fashion thing for me, but just a very simple way of life, for the love of music !

[@EvilBlakey]

Mate, what the fuck are you on about? XD

[@MrToonfish]

@@EvilBlakey Nothing's really serious... Just some kind of bass humour you didn't probably catch ;-)

[@JOhnDoe-nl4wj]

so, i'm currently running a microtubes 900 with X7 and HL comp stomps. Worth switching or nay?

[@bigholesinears420]

JOhn Doe I wouldn’t. Just get the pedal if you want the AO sound.

[@DavidJones-hd7jj]

Do those cab simulators work on clean playing?

[@Coenvanoosterhout]

what kind of bass is it at 1.25 sec?

[@PHILIPPEPOCHON]

Hi, wich CAB do you use ?

[@a.g.4843]

kann man das an eine hartke box anschließen??

[@basstheworldofficial]

Klar

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

is there a darkglass product that you will recommand for clean use first?

[@basstheworldofficial]

any, really. If you don't need the drive section, you still get a great amp.

[@MegaBassplayer666]

Does anyone know what bass he's using at 1:28?

[@freshelfpie]

You showed a quick shot of the foot switch, but didn't demonstrate being able to switch from clean to distorted sounds with the switch. I assume you can take the A/O distortion in and out with the switch? I am looking at various class D amps, leaning toward the Bergantino B/Amp or Forte since I have a Bergie cab, but I also want an A/O pedal. This box would have most of the features of the Bergie amp plus the A/O distortion for same price as the Bergie amp by itself... so this is on the list, IF you can switch the distortion on and off with the foot switch. Can you?

[@iantruax17]

I have the mt500, which is a great amp in its own right, and has the option for the intelligent footswitch, and if it’s like mine, it will switch the distortion engine on and off, and if held down for three second it mutes the amp.

[@basstheworldofficial]

what Ian said ;)

[@evandrotapia1]

Is it possible to play with him with the blue lights on?

and programming MIDI

[@Methar39]

@@basstheworldofficial So you can have a PC and send MIDI from the PC to the amp to change things ? or is it used another way ? (sorry for bad english)

[@basstheworldofficial]

@@Methar39 you program midi via the darkglass suite. The control is rather done from a footswitch connected via midi to the amp

[@GeorgeVrachliotis]

Nice but extremely expensive at 1200+ euro

[@Methar39]

Honestly, with all the feats I was thinking about an even higher price. There's so much stuff, and good stuff going in this amp

[@GeorgeVrachliotis]

@@Methar39 I agree DG makes some very good stuff but starting from the pedals they price their stuff too high, because of the hype and promotion from bass yt channels - I really got tired of all bass videos featuring the same DG metalcore 'karnivool' sound.

[@Methar39]

@@GeorgeVrachliotis I understand, but are there other products that can compare to darkglass on th market, for the same price ? I find Darkglass products to be expensive but seem worth it

[@EvilBlakey]

@@GeorgeVrachliotis DG gear is priced for the quality, not the hype. DG definitely fills a niche, and when you find a pedal that can recreate that exact sound you've been hearing in your head for years, you know it's worth it. For all the money I've spent/wasted on different distortions over the years, I will happily pay Darkglass prices for "that sound"

[@GeorgeVrachliotis]

@@EvilBlakey it seems like half bass players over here have the exact same sound in their head. Anyway, to each his own.

[@lutzhommel2844]

Wow, ich kann nicht glauben, dass ihr den Darkglass so verhunzt! Das ist ein Tool für einen MODERNEN (Metal-) Bass Sound! Finster, fies und glassy! Und was mach ihr? Ihr verstümmelt das Teil und bietet einen mittig-muffigen Sound nach dem anderen. Mit Verlaub, das kriegt man auch mit dem alten BOSS Bass Overdrive Pedal hin. Der Darkglass ist aber prädestiniert für tiefer gestimmte Bässe, die mit traditionellen Bass Sounds nicht mehr kontrollierbar sind. Darkglass = DARK und GLASSY - hätte man drauf kommen können...

[@basstheworldofficial]

Entschuldige, dass wir nicht das 1000ste generische Darkglass Metal Video gemacht haben, sondern das Teil mal etwas ab von der Norm betrachten. Wirklich schlimm von uns, jetzt sehe ich es auch. Ich stelle mich jetzt mal ne Stunde zur Strafe in die Ecke, hoffe das ist ok
