Designed in collaboration with renowned bassist and producer Amos Heller, the Darkglass Kaamos pushes the boundaries of bass tone with a fusion of aggressive distortion and seismic octave-down effects. This powerhouse pedal delivers deep, defined lows and raw, saturated drive, giving you a massive sonic foundation to reshape your sound.
Seamless Flexibility for Total Creative Control
Kaamos is engineered for real-time tonal sculpting, with intuitive routing controls that allow you to:
- Stack effects in series for thick, crushing saturation
- Run effects in parallel for complex, layered textures
- Move the effects loop into three selectable positions, unlocking new interaction possibilities for your pedalboard
- Route a dedicated sub-octave output, perfect for multi-amp setups
Every detail is precision-crafted for seamless integration into your rig, ensuring you stay in command of your signature tone.
Signature Darkglass Drive & Octaver
The Kaamos combines the brutal drive of the Alpha Omicron with a powerful octaver, offering three distinct octave voicing modes:
- Sublime: Monophonic mute-type tracking
- Sublemon: Monophonic flip-type tracking
- Subcitri: Polyphonic tracking for extended harmonic richness
Dial in everything from subtle warmth to total sonic chaos with dedicated controls for blend, drive, octave filtering, and effect positioning.
