OWNER’S MANUAL
The Alpha·Omega 900 takes the best elements of our most successful distortion preamplifier ever, combined with state-of-the-art features to make a monstrous 900-watt amplifier with earth-shattering tone.
DESCRIPTION The Alpha·Omega 900™ is a 900W amplifier equipped with an all-analog preamplifier, Class D Power Module and a digital impulse based cabinet emulator for DI outputs or headphones. Probably the first thing you will notice from the Alpha·Omega 900 is its unusual control layout: On the right side you’ll find the clean section which is the foundation of your sound. It features Gain and Master volumes and active 6 band graphic EQ.
FEATURES FRONT PANEL INPUT : Use this jack to connect your instrument via a standard ¼” mono cable. PASSIVE/ACTIVE : Use this push-button switch to change from passive to active mode. If your bass is active it can have a hotter signal making the amp to distort early (feel free to use if such additional distortion is desired).
Alpha·Omega Engine™ to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage. The Alpha·Omega Engine operates before the clean section (you can therefore use the 6-Band Active EQ for additional tone shaping). BITE: Boosts high mids presence and definition. (2.8kHz) for additional GROWL: Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation.
FEATURES REAR PANEL
SPEAKER OUTPUT : Use this connector to connect the amplifier to your cabinet. This Speakon combo jack allows for either Speakon or ¼” speaker cable operation. The outputs are connected in parallel. WARNING: Do not use an instrument cable with this jack. Using an instrument cable can damage your amplifier. MIN - LOAD : Press this switch when using a 2Ω load.
CAB SELECT: Switches between 3 different cabinet impulses and bypass this section for a rawer sound. MIDI: The midi input allows you to control the channels of the amp via a midi standard controller. FOOTSWITCH : The Intelligent Footswitch is a proprietary digitally controlled device that allows you to remotely engage and disengage the Alpha·Omega Engine. You can also hold the footswitch to Mute the amplifier. The distortion push button will remain operational with the Intelligent Footswitch plugged in.
