Darkglass AO500 Alpha-Omega 500 watt Bass Head

Well-equipped for direct recording and performance

While it does offer an impressive 500 watts to push some serious air through a speaker cabinet, the Darkglass Alpha-Omega 500 amp head has everything you need for outstanding direct tones, too. Fitted with a rear-panel XLR DI output, it has memory for up to three IR cabinet simulations, and you can upload your own via USB.

Ample connectivity options for any type of bass rig

The Darkglass Alpha-Omega 500 has the flexibility you need to integrate with practically any bass rig. Dual speaker outputs offer 1/4-inch or speakON connectivity. A send/return loop makes it easy to integrate pedals and other effects processors. You can even optimize the Alpha-Omega 500’s performance for any type of bass pickups, thanks to its Passive/Active input mode selector.

Your ideal practice companion

Whether you’re waiting backstage before a performance or waiting for your turn in the studio, AudioProCT knows it pays to stay warmed up on your instrument. The Alpha-Omega 500 features a 3.5mm aux input for your smartphone, and a headphone output with its own volume control. Even with your rig fully set up, you can set up a private practice session to work on lines or simply jam along with your favorite tracks.
