The Darkglass ADAM - Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine is the result of a collaboration with one of the most celebrated artists in today's metal scene - Adam "Nolly" Getgood. The Darklgass ADAM pedal captures Nolly's entire tone arsenal that has been meticulously refined by years of in-depth testing and experience in one striking enclosure.
The Darkglass ADAM has three fully programable rotating footswitch presets. Each of these stores your unique blend of compression, distortion, impulse responses, EQ parameters, and signal chain settings. The ADAM features a unique and innovative top-notch precision touch slider interface, for its 6-Band programmable EQ.
The Darkglass ADAM also incorporates a USB-C audio interface and balanced stereo outputs for studio monitors and is equipped with an extra accurate chromatic tuner, that also works well with down-tuned guitars and basses.
Darkglass ADAM Features:
Compression: Controls the amount of input gain to the compressor and intelligently applies the correct amount of makeup gain so your signal is always driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much compression is applied.
Drive: Adds distortion and drive to your signal. Crank this knob to apply Nolly's favorite vintage distortion to the distorted part of the signal chain.
Character: Changes to the tone of the distortion, adding brightness to the distortion signal.
Blend: Mixes between the distortion signal and the clean sidechain signal
Level: Controls the master volume of ADAM
Touch Sensitive Sliders: Each slider has a -12dB to +12dB range.
