Designed in collaboration with the world-renowned electronics of Darkglass Electronics, the DarkRay unlocks a whole new range of sonic possibilities.
The tone of any instrument is at its core: in this case, Darkglass has designed a new, modern 2-band EQ preamp specifically for the DarkRay. This preamp offers three modes with very different and useful sounds: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz). Both distortion circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control that can be manipulated to the user's preference. Astonishingly clean, light gain, or a brutal fuzz tone is available, all without low-end loss. A bright LED ring and the 3-way lever switch indicate which mode the bass is in. The all-new DarkRay is, in any case, a Stingray Special with a neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, comfortably contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration.
