Cutting-edge Cab Sim and Headphone Amp
Bass players and guitarists at Sweetwater are excited about the Darkglass Element, a state-of-the-art cabinet simulator and headphone amp in a compact pedal format. You won’t find any knobs on the Element’s top panel. It uses Darkglass’s proprietary touch-sensor technology with three tactile sliders and positioning LEDs, so you can set your parameters quickly and see them easily when lights are low. Out of the box, the Element offers five cabinet simulations, and you can add many more via the Darkglass Suite.

Sleek, comprehensive design
The Darkglass Element also features Bluetooth streaming for playing along with your favorite tracks and two headphone jacks for jamming with other musicians. An XLR output allows for plugging directly into a PA system or your audio interface. The Element’s advanced functionality is packed into a sleek, knobless pedal — a design that’s extremely rugged and will stand up to the heaviest touring schedules. On its right side is the XLR jack and a ground lift button switch. Its left side is fitted with a 1/4-inch input, switchable 12 and 30dB pads, a 3.5mm TRS aux input, a 1/4-inch parallel output for connection to an amp, and a USB-C port for connecting to your computer.
