Darkglass Electronics Kaamos Bass Distortion/Octaver

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

Real-time routing controls let you shape your signal path with ease—stack 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.
