While it's immediately apparent that the Darkglass ADAM is a cutting-edge bass distortion pedal, there's much more going on here than first meets the eye (and ear). ADAM — Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine — combines five versatile distortion modes, five compression modes, a 6-band EQ, three multi-function (push or rotate) switches, cabinet simulation with five impulse response options, and even a USB audio interface. In other words, ADAM is a comprehensive solution for creating massive distorted bass tones, shaping your overall tone, and even recording direct to your computer. A MIDI input supports external control for integration with more complex rigs. Complete with an aux in and headphone output for private practice sessions, and even Bluetooth audio streaming, the Darkglass ADAM definitely deserves a place in any discerning bass player's rig.
