Fierce Bass Distortion Meets Sub-Octave Power – The Darkglass Electronics Kaamos Bass Distortion and Octaver Effect Pedal

KAAMOS Bass Distortion and Octaver! Designed in collaboration with legendary bassist and producer Amos Heller, Kaamos blends a powerful distortion with octave-down tones.

  • Dedicated sub-octave output
  • Combines the signature tones of the Alpha Omicron pedal with a roaring octave-down effect
  • Series or parallel signal path options
  • Movable effects loop that can be placed in 6 different positions

Unlock New Dimensions

Real-time routing controls let you shape your signal path with easestack effects in series for rich saturation or run them in parallel for intricate, layered textures. A movable effects loop, configurable in three distinct positions, opens up new possibilities, while a dedicated sub-octave output unlocks creative multi-amp setups. Every detail is precision-engineered to put you in complete control of your sound.

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 knob 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.
