Offering 500W of clean analog amplification and the benefits of modern digital processing, the Exponent 500 from Darkglass Electronics is a hybrid solid-state / modeling bass amp head. Loaded with assignable FX, preamps, and cabs, plus comprehensive 4-band EQ, Exponent 500 has everything a modern bassist needs for killer tone.
Exponent 500 provides five programmable presets and five assignable quick pots, which can be controlled via the Darkglass Suite app for iOS and Android devices. With Darkglass Suite you can also modify your FX processing chains and more. Bluetooth streaming lets you send wireless audio directly to your headphone output for practice. Exponent 500 sports a series FX loop, an XLR direct output for PAs and interfaces, a 1/4" speakON combo jack for speakers, a MIDI input for MIDI devices, and a USB-C port for 4-channel audio interface duties.
While the USB connection can also receive MIDI information, the Exponent 500 also sports a dedicated 5-pin DIN MIDI connector. Via both options, you can receive PC and CC messages with selectable per-value or full-range CC controls.
Note: Exponent 500 requires Darkglass Suite version 4.3.0 or later.
