[SN S10540] MUSIC MAN / DarkRay 5-string Gold Bar (Weight: 3.98 kg) [05]
The 5-string model of the "DarkRay," born from a collaboration between Darkglass Electronics and Musicman. The new color announced at NAMM 2024 is now in stock!
The DARKRAY is a model born from the collaboration between MUSICMAN and Darkglass, which generated significant buzz when it was announced in 2021.
It features a new 2-band EQ preamp specially designed by Darkglass for the DarkRay.
This preamp offers three distinct and versatile modes: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz).
These circuits can be mixed using the onboard gain knob and blend control, allowing you to tailor the sound to your preferences.
You can achieve amazing clean tones, subtle gain, and ferocious fuzz tones without sacrificing low-end response.
You can check which mode is active via the bright LED ring and the 3-way lever switch.
And surely the biggest highlight of this newly arrived model is its color scheme.
The flashy sparkling gold changes color depending on the angle you view it from, and the fact that it looks slightly pink makes it truly one-of-a-kind.
