A perfect blend of Darkglass’s dual-distortion-engined Alpha Omicron pedal and a powerful octave-down design, the Kaamos roars with earth-rattling intensity. But the real beauty of the Kaamos is its versatility, affording bassists series and parallel effects routing with an octet of tone-sculpting parameters. Plus, the Kaamos delivers equally impressive capabilities with its diverse connection array, supplying not just standard 1\/4-inch I\/O but effect loop Send\/Return, a balanced XLR output, and even a Sub-octave output for multi-amp setup integration. For complete tonal control onstage and shaping possibilities in the studio, few bass pedals can hold a candle to the high-powered Kaamos from Darkglass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncomparable control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s no shortage of parameters aboard the powerful Kaamos. Curate your ideal drive effect by determining the total degree of distortion with Drive, plus its volume and presence within the signal through Drive Level and Blend — the latter of which boasts press assignment to one of three effect loop positions: after the octaver, after the distortion, and in parallel with the signal chain. Drive Mod further enables artists to balance the mix of both drive circuits with additional sculpting power from Tone, which also offers a press function to make both DI and Cab-sim modes available when outputting over an XLR connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the octave front, the Kaamos packs in Octave Filter, Clean Level, and Octave Level parameters for impressively detailed octave refinement. The first control, Octave Filter, provides lowpass frequency filtering for your octave-down effect with a press function for selecting monophonic mute\/flip and polyphonic types. After that, Clean Level and Octave Level respectively adjust the octaver circuit’s clean and low octave signal intensity, with the latter dial sporting a press function for series\/parallel effect positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorkhorse connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Kaamos stuns with its flexible distortion and octaver delivery, its connection array enables just as much functional versatility for implementation into just about any setup you’re working with. The Kaamos offers the traditional 1\/4-inch input and output in addition to 1\/4-inch Send\/Return for your effect loop. But that’s not all! You also have a 1\/4-inch Sub-octave output for sending the low octave signal of the Kaamos through to a secondary amplifier. Finally, a balanced XLR terminal enables flawless usage with PA systems, microphone preamps, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmos Heller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailing from Charlottesville, Virginia, first-rate 4-stringer and seasoned producer Amos Heller has spent decades mastering his craft onstage alongside some of music’s most exciting country, blues, and rock acts. Since 2007, he’s found tremendous success carrying the live bass line for pop superstar Taylor Swift, most recently backing her historic 149-show Eras Tour. Now, Amos has used his professional prowess to join forces with the mad tone scientists at Darkglass to devise a 4-string-specific distortion and octaver like the industry has never seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned in conjunction with world-renowned bassist Amos Heller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beautiful blend of the Alpha Omicron dual-circuit distortion and a powerful drop-octave effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries and parallel configurability for effective signal chain positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive controls the degree of distortion in your signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive Level controls the volume of your drive effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlend controls drive blend with a press function for FX loop positioning after the octaver, after the distortion, or in parallel with the signal chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive Mod controls the balance of both drive circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone controls the sharpness and muddiness of your drive effect with a press function for DI and Cab-sim optioning over XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctave Filter controls lowpass frequency filtering of the octave effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctave Level controls low octave signal intensity with a press function for series\/parallel position selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean Level controls clean octave signal intensity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-in.
