The Darkglass Exponent 500 is a revolutionary bass amplifier that combines modern design with maximum sound flexibility. At first glance, the Exponent 500 presents itself as a classic, transparent amp that delivers an unadulterated sound. But once plugged in, it transforms into a state-of-the-art multi-effects platform that works with programmable and presettable signal chains. This gives bassists customized control over their sound, whether in the studio or on stage.
Thanks to the combination of high-quality hardware and innovative software, the Exponent 500 offers a wide range of possibilities to shape your individual sound. It is perfect for musicians who are looking for a versatile and powerful amplifier that can be adapted to their needs. With its intuitive operation and advanced features, it clearly stands out from conventional amplifiers.
The Exponent 500 comes with five pre-installed factory presets that are ready to use straight out of the box. These offer a wide selection of sounds for different musical styles and areas of application. But that's not all: the Darkglass Suite (available for iOS & Android) allows the amplifier to be fully personalized. This software allows presets to be created, edited, saved and shared with other musicians. This allows every bassist to design their own signal chain according to their individual preferences.
Preset switching is done via an easily accessible preset button, which can be used to quickly switch between the five stored sounds and a bypass mode. An LED display provides information about the currently selected preset. In addition, Bluetooth pairing can be activated by pressing and holding the preset button, allowing the amplifier to be connected wirelessly to the Darkglass Suite.
The front of the amplifier is equipped with five quick pots, which are labeled with the letters A, B, C, D and E. By default, these controls are assigned to the four frequency bands of the amp EQ and a preset-specific control. This allows the sound to be adjusted quickly and easily without additional software.
However, if you want to delve even deeper into the sound design, you can individually assign the quick pots in the Darkglass Suite. For example, certain effect parameters can be controlled directly or additional sound changes can be made in real time. This flexible control makes the Exponent 500 particularly versatile and enables intuitive adaptation to different playing styles.
The master control can be used to precisely adjust the overall volume of the amplifier. This function is particularly useful for adapting the sound to different playing environments, be it a small rehearsal room or a large stage.
In addition, the Exponent 500 has a mute button that can be used to mute the physical outputs. As soon as the amplifier is switched to mute, all preset LEDs light up in a faint red, providing visual feedback on the current status.
Although the Exponent 500 offers a wide range of functions, it remains compact and lightweight. With its dimensions of 21 cm x 17.5 cm x 6 cm and a weight of just 1.65 kg, it is extremely easy to transport. This makes it the ideal companion for live performances, studio sessions or use in the rehearsal room.
The high-quality housing ensures a robust finish and guarantees a long service life. The clearly structured user interface makes it easy to use, making the amplifier suitable for both beginners and professional musicians.
