We’ve ramped up the StingRay sound with a custom Darkglass® clean 2-band active preamp, featuring two drive circuits: Alpha (Distortion) and Omega (Fuzz). Both circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control.
Flip the 3-way switch, and a glowing LED ring signals your mode—red for Alpha, blue for Omega. Switch to preamp-only for an ultra-clean tone, plus volume, treble, and bass controls.
The iconic DarkRay design includes an alnico humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck with ebony fingerboard, comfort contoured StingRay body, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration.
