Darkglass Kaamos Bass Octaver and Distortion Pedal

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
A bass pedal built for bold tones! The Darkglass KAAMOS blends heavy distortion with a sub-octave effect and features flexible routing for your entire rig.

The Darkglass Electronics Kaamos pedal delivers a groundbreaking mixture of powerful distortion and octaver framed in collaboration with legendary bassist and producer Amos Heller.

Imagined to inspire, Kaamos redefines what a bass pedal can be by combining the signature tones of the Alpha Omicron pedal with a roaring octave-down effect that stuns the foundation of tone.

Kaamos's wizardry lies in its flexibility. With real-time routing controls shaping the signal path, effects can be stacked in series for deep saturation or run in parallel for complex textures. Tone can also be manipulated through a movable effects loop that can be placed in 6 different positions.

A dedicated sub-octave output unlocks inventive possibilities for multi-amp setups, and intuitive controls ensure complete sound control.

From pristine lows to distorted rage, the Kaamos is engineered to be the centerpiece of any rig. Its sleek design, premium construction, and unmatched versatility make it the foremost tool for bassists who are in demand of control and tone versatility.

Controls
- Blend: Adjusts the drive blend (Press to select the loop position)
- Tone: Adjusts the drive tone (Press to select between cab sim and DI for the XLR out)
- Drive: Adjusts the amount of distortion in the drive circuit
- Drive mod: Adjusts the blend between two distinct drive circuits
- Clean level: Adjusts the clean signal amount in the octaver circuit (Press to select the type of octaver)
- Octave level: Adjusts the read more low octave signal amount in the octaver circuit (Press to select between parallel or series effect positioning)
- Octave Filter: Adjusts the lowpass Filter frequency of the low octave

Modes
The octaver and distortion effect blocks can be configured to be either in series or in parallel by pressing the [octave level] knob. The LEDs above the know will indicate which mode is selected.

The position of the effects loop can be configured to three different positions in the signal chain:
- After the octaver
- After the distortion
- In parallel with the signal chain
The position is selected by pressing the Blend knob and the LEDs above the know indicate the selected position.
- In the 1. position the loop is active when the octaver is active.
- In the 2. position the loop is active when the distortion is active.
- In the 3. position the loop is active when either one or both of the octaver and distortion are active.
The effects loop automatically detects if nothing is plugged in and removes itself from the signal chain.

*Warning*
Kaamos has a current draw of 400mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
