Darkglass Electronics has teamed up with legendary bassist and producer Amos Heller to create the Kaamos, a high-powered distortion and octave-down pedal designed for bassists looking to push their sound to new creative heights.
Key Features:
- Dual Drive Circuits – Blend between two distinct drive voices (α and Ω) for a range of tones.
- Flexible Routing – Stack effects in series for thick saturation or run in parallel for layered textures.
- Three Octave Modes – Choose between monophonic mute-type, monophonic flip-type, or polyphonic tracking.
- Dedicated Sub Output – Send the low-octave signal to a separate amp for massive low-end control.
- Movable Effects Loop – Place external effects before or after the drive and octave circuits for expanded sonic experimentation.
A Bass Distortion and Octave Pedal Like No Other
Darkglass has built a reputation for pushing bass tone innovation, and the Kaamos Ultra Series is no exception. Designed in collaboration with Amos Heller, this pedal combines a versatile distortion engine with three distinct octave-down modes, offering bassists unparalleled control over their tone.
The dual distortion circuits let players blend between α (Alpha) and Ω (Omega) voicings, giving them access to everything from subtle grit to extreme fuzz. The real-time routing controls allow users to arrange effects in parallel or series, providing even more tonal flexibility.
Fine-Tuned for Performance
Beyond distortion, the Kaamos features a dedicated sub-octave output, making it perfect for multi-amp setups where the low-end can be sent to a separate rig. The movable effects loop lets players position their external pedals before or after the internal circuits, allowing for deep sonic customization.
Other notable features include tone sculpting tools like a lowpass filter for the octaver, an adjustable clean blend, and a ground lift switch to eliminate unwanted noise when using the balanced XLR direct output.
Designed for the Modern Bassist
Darkglass has always straddled the line between modern engineering and practical, real-world applications. Whether you’re looking to add subtle harmonic drive, create synth-like bass textures, or build a crushing wall of distortion, the Kaamos gives you the tools to make it happen.
Availability
The Darkglass Kaamos Ultra Series is available now. Bassists looking to explore new sonic territories should keep an eye on this one—it’s built for those who want total control over their drive and octave sound.
