Darkglass E500 Exponent 500 Watt Bass Amplifier Head & DGMF Midi Footswitch Limited Bundle DGEXMI

New

We always craved a clean head. A device that is “out of the box” is an amplifier without added effects. Uncomplicated, intuitive, and for each one of us to be able to unveil the layer of sophistication that better serves our projects and skills. The Exponent 500 is a new concept that once connected turns into a multi-effect, with fully programmable and presettable signal chains with all the components a professional bassist requires.

Front Panel Features
Input
Use this jack to connect your instrument via a standard ¼” mono cable.

Quick-Pots
There are five Quick-Pots on Exponent 500's front panel (A, B, C, D and E) .
By default, these pots are mapped to the Amp EQ’s four frequency bands and a preset-specific control.
In the Darkglass Suite, you can freely bind the Quick-Pots to your selection of any five controls from the effects in your signal chain.

Master
Use this knob to control the overall volume of the amplifier.

Preset
Pressing the preset button changes through presets 1 to 5 and a bypass signal. The current preset is shown with a single LED next to the preset number.
When Exponent500 is bypassed, all preset LEDs show a dim white color.
Long-press the preset button to start Bluetooth pairing. All preset LEDs will breathe white while pairing is active.

Mute
Pressing the mute button toggles mute on the physical outputs.
When Exponent500 is muted, all preset LEDs will illuminate with a dim red color.

Midi Footswitch:
Easily configurable through the Darkglass Suite, the Darkglass MIDI Footswitch offers customizable MIDI commands at the tips of your toes. The MIDI footswitch is quick to set up with ready-to-use templates for Darkglass products. A more complex custom MIDI setup is also available with commands on the main and sub operational layers, simultaneous sending of several messages and more, making it a powerful command center that integrates seamlessly with your setup.

The MIDI footswitch can be powered flexibly through either a 9V DC or USB. In addition, the Darkglass amplifiers are capable of powering it through the same 1/4" plug or a 7-PIN MIDI connector used for the data, offering the full operation using only one cable.
