Programmable Series
Quick Start Guide
Connect your instrument into the 1/4" INPUT.
Connect a compatible power supply (9V center negative, min. 500 mA) to the
power connector.
Connect at least one of the following:
Headphones into the headphone jack
USB-C cable between the USB connector and your computer*
Instrument cable between one of the balanced 1/4" outputs and your
amplifier's input
XLR cable between DIRECT OUTPUT and your mixing desk or audio
interface
The Alpha·Omega Photon is pre-programmed with three presets, A, B, and C
that are selectable via the dedicated footswitches. Press and hold one of the
footswitches for two seconds to save your changes into a preset. Three
additional presets can also be accessed via MIDI or the Darkglass Suite.
Adjust the level (and headphone volume, if applicable) to your liking and start
playing!
*Using the Alpha·Omega Photon as an audio interface may require some extra
steps depending on your operating system

Alpha·Omega Photon Manual – Darkglass Electronics Connections Input : This is the primary instrument input on the Alpha·Omega Photon. Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the 1/4” mono jack. Aux In : The stereo input of the Alpha·Omega Photon enables the playback of backing tracks while practicing or recording. - Page 3 Alpha·Omega Photon Manual – Darkglass Electronics Compressor : This control allows setting the input gain of the compressor that will translate into how much the signal is compressed while our intelligent make-up gain algorithm keeps the output of the compressor at usable levels. The compressor has 5 ratios available: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 and ALL IN.
- Page 4 Alpha·Omega Photon Manual – Darkglass Electronics for even further versatility. The familiar Growl and Bite boost functions are also available for adding more low end and/or high end sparkle. Cabinet Simulation : The Alpha·Omega Photon supports Impulse Response (IR) cabinet simulations and has 5 cabinet slots on board. The default IRs have been selected by the Darkglass Team.

The smart potentiometers allow for their positions to be stored in each preset, with the stored position indicated by the ring of LEDs surrounding each potentiometer. With this, you can get a glance at your signal chain settings when changing presets, regardless of the physical potentiometer setting.
