The Darkglass KAAMOS Bass Octaver & Distortion Pedal, designed in collaboration with legendary bassist Amos Heller, delivers a powerful fusion of distortion and octave-down tones for bass players seeking unparalleled sonic flexibility. With real-time routing controls, you can shape your signal path effortlessly—stack effects in series for rich saturation or run them in parallel for intricate, layered textures. The movable effects loop offers three distinct positions, providing new creative possibilities, while a dedicated sub-octave output allows for multi-amp setups. Engineered for maximum control and precision, KAAMOS is the ultimate tool for bassists looking to expand their tonal horizons. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
