Darkglass Exponent 500 Bass Amplifier Head

500 Watts of All-analog Clean Power

Over two years in the making, the Exponent 500 is the culmination of all Darkglass Electronics’ industry revolutionizing bass technologies packed into one sleek amplifier head. While Darkglass has made its name setting the standard for aggressive modern metal bass tones, the Exponent’s 500 watts are also designed for pristine and powerful analog cleans. Once you have your base sound dialed in, the Exponent 500 offers endless tonal tweaking using the Darkglass Suite app’s modeling, effects, IRs, and, of course, copious amounts of gain. A favorite feature among Sweetwater bassists is the Exponent’s full MIDI control over presets and parameters —it's perfect for players who need to switch between multiple song-specific signal chains. A comprehensive solution to both your gigging and home recording needs, the Exponent 500 is a testament to Darkglass Electronics’ dedication to amplifier innovation!

Well equipped for direct recording and performance

While it does offer an impressive 500 watts to push some serious air through a speaker cabinet, the Darkglass Exponent 500 amp head has everything you need for outstanding direct tones too. Darkglass Suite gives you access to a wealth of different effects, including IRs to dial in your ideal DI recording tone. Plus, the Exponent 500 functions as an audio interface through its USB-C port, making it the ideal solution for an all-in-one bass recording setup.
