Darkglass Kaamos Bass Octaver & Distortion Pedal

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

Real-time routing controls let you quickly shape your signal path—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 a creative multi-amp setup.

Key Features
 

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

Input & Outputs
 

Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the ¼” mono jack.

9V DC

Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug.

Sub

This ¼” Sub output jack provides only the low octave signal when the octaver is activated.

Output

Connect from the ¼” Output jack to the input of your amplifier or another effects pedal.

Send

Use this ¼” to send the effects loop signal to your external effects.

Return

Connect the output of the last pedal in you effects loop into this ¼” jack.

Direct output

Balanced XLR output for connecting
the pedal to a microphone preamp, PA system etc.

Ground lift

Disconnects the signal ground on the Direct Output to break any ground loops. Set this switch to either position that has less noise. The switch does not affect the ¼” output.
