  • What’s better getting the pedals and running them into whatever amp or getting the dark glass amp that has it built in?

  • One thing not pointed out in differences at the end of the video, is the 2 buttons on the Ultra. You can engage the pedal as a clean pre amp and hit the distortion several as needed. When the other ones have distortion off you bypass the whole pedal.

  • There seems to be a parallel output missing from the Ultra. That would actually make me choose the regular alpha omega as I often send a copy of the clean signal to a DI box live.

  • Thank you for the demo. It helps a lot. Now I’ll know I’ll be saving money when buying the Ultra. ???????? Or at least I know won’t be wasting it for whichever I do buy.

  • I decided since I'll directly using a bass amp the Alpha Omicron will suit my needs it's a Vintage Tube Amp so it has no distortion

  • I use a Alpha Omicron into a Vintage Ultra and B7K Ultra. It makes a noticeable difference . Next I'm thinking do I get a Alpha Omega or the Ultra. Darkglass is amazing but addictive. Omicron is awesome.

  • I could never get the ultra to sound just right, it was always either one or the other with the eq or distortion. Now I went to a guitar store and tried the alpha and omega and it sounded a lot better so now I’m debating between the omicron or alpha and omega leaning more towards the alpha omega. Darkglass keeps leaving my board but I keep coming back and trying their products.

  • I like the microtubes series way better than the alpha omegas I feel the alpha omegas don’t retain tone and sound of the bass with the distortions compared to the X7 and b7k

  • Great breakdown of the gear. I now feel fully informed and ready to drop some cash. Thank you

  • hey trey

    how about micro x/x7/x ultra or micro vintage/vintage deluxe/vintage ultra or micro b3k/b7k/b7k ultra comparison ?

  • this seems like an honest review, finally a video where you can actually check how they really sound without all that post processing stuff. Some kind of preamp plus one overdrive pedal would do as good if not better than these pedals in my opinion.

    Thanks guys.

  • Cab sim for the win! Without it, I'd try and run these into a SansAmp for that tube amp/cab sim. Nice comparison! The Omicron held up nicely against the big brothers.

  • Just the video I needed to decide between these pedals. Seems weird I haven't been able to find one yet.

    IMO Get the omicron if you don't record and play in a band that performs at crappy venues with no way of going direct to front of house, or if you just prefer other cab sims and worry about eq after the fact.

    Get the alpha omega original for the same reason if you just really want to spend an extra $100 for 3 eq knobs.

    Get the ultra if you have a way to plug in to front of house at your gigs, like getting your tone from the source when you record with minimal eq'ing afterward, or just play bass and that's all and you want to practice silent without a terrible low wattage bass amp.

  • I like the amount of control the ultra preamp has with the distortion rather than the alpha and omega's distortion. it's too messt

  • Great video! I'd love to see a similar video comparing the features and your thoughts on the B7K, Alpha Omega, and X7 Distortion.
