DarkglassKAAMOS Bass Octaver With Sub Out + Distortion Effects Pedal Silver

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KAAMOS combines octave-down processing and distortion in one bass pedal, with routing that can be changed in real time. Pressing the Octave Level control selects parallel or series operation, while the effects loop can sit after the octaver, after the distortion, or in parallel. Separate controls address octave amount, clean level, octave-filter frequency, drive, drive blend, drive level, and drive-circuit blend. A dedicated sub output can route the octave-down signal independently for a separate amp or mix channel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass rigs needing octave-down and distortion processing with switchable parallel or series routing.
- Stage or studio setups sending only the octave-down signal to a separate amp or mix channel.
- Pedalboards that need an external effects loop placed at one of three signal-path positions.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Pedalboards without a suitable 9V DC center-negative supply capable of 400mA; an adapter is not included.
