Darkglass ADAM – a versatile bass preamp pedal developed in collaboration with Adam "Nolly" Getgood (Periphery). Designed for modern metal and progressive bass tones, it combines a smart one-knob compressor, a powerful distortion engine with four presets, a responsive 6-band graphic EQ with touch sliders, IR-based cabinet simulation, and an integrated USB-C audio interface with Bluetooth connectivity.
The intelligent compressor offers four ratio settings (4:1, 8:1, 20:1, All-In) and auto-gain optimization. Clean and distorted signal paths run in parallel, with separate processing for maximum tone control. The distortion section delivers aggressive drive options inspired by Nolly's signature tone, with Drive and Character knobs for shaping. A Blend control allows precise mixing between clean and dirty tones, while the EQ section provides ±12 dB adjustment across six frequency bands with tactile control.
ADAM includes three user presets, a Performance Lock mode, built-in tuner, and intuitive rotary encoders for selecting compression ratio, distortion mode, and IRs. Connectivity includes dual balanced stereo outputs, balanced XLR DI with ground lift, stereo aux-in, headphone output with volume control, MIDI-in, and USB-C for use with the Darkglass Suite and audio interface functionality. This all-in-one pedal is built for both stage and studio use.
