Darkglass Electronics Exponential 500 Bass Amplifier Head

The Exponential 500 Bass Amplifier Head was created for those who have always craved a clean head. A device that is “out of the box” -  an amplifier without added effects. Uncomplicated, intuitive, and one enables you to unveil the layer of sophistication that better serves your projects and skills.

The Exponent 500 is a new concept that once connected will turn into a multi-effect, with fully programmable and pre-settable signal chains with all the components a professional bassist requires.


Features

Front Panel Features
Input
Use this jack to connect your instrument via a standard ¼” mono cable.

Quick-Pots
There are five Quick-Pots on Exponent 500’s front panel (a, b, c, d and e) .

By default, these pots are mapped to the Amp EQ’s four frequency bands and a preset-specific control.

In the Darkglass Suite, you can freely bind the Quick-Pots to your selection of any five controls from the effects in your signal chain.

Master
Use this knob to control the overall volume of the amplifier.

Preset
Pressing the preset button changes through presets 1 to 5 and a bypass signal. The current preset is shown with a single LED next to the preset number. When e500 is bypassed, all preset LEDs show a dim white color.

Long-press the preset button to start Bluetooth pairing. All preset LEDs will breathe white while pairing is active.

Mute
Pressing the mute button toggles mute on the physical outputs. When e500 is muted, all preset LEDs will illuminate with a dim red color.

Back Panel Features
Speaker Output
Use this connector to connect the amplifier to your cabinet. The SpeakON Combo jack allows for SpeakON or ¼” speaker cable operation. The minimum load impedance is 4 Ω. Exponent 500 can be operated without a cabinet.

WARNING:
Do not use an instrument cable with this jack. Using an instrument cable can damage your amplifier.

XLR direct output

Ground Lift
