500 watts of pure analog power





The DG210A pumps 500 watts of thunderous bass through its 10-inch ceramic Eminence speakers. You'll be blown away by the pristine bass tones yielded by this combo amplifier's high-efficiency Class D ICEpower module, and it offers enough volume to keep up with the rest of your band. And, if you need more volume, the DG210A's external speaker jack makes expanding your rig a cinch.





Flexible sound-shaping options





When you plug into the Darkglass DG210A, you'll find an array of sound-shaping options. For starters, it includes an Active/Passive switch that attenuates the amp's input for active electronics. Its 4-band EQ provides stunning accuracy, with push potentiometers for low-mid (500Hz/1kHz) and high-mid (1.5kHz/3kHz) adjustments. The DG210A includes two distortion textures, Vintage Microtubes and Microtubes B3K, that you can fine-tune with Blend, Level, and Drive controls. At Sweetwater, one of our favorite features is the DG210A's built-in compressor, which provides ample dynamics shaping along with automatic gain adjustment. A Master control supplies overall volume adjustment while providing instant silence with a simple push of your finger.





Loads of player-centric features





You can do a lot with the DG210A. It includes a DI output with a Pre/Post switch that toggles between a pre- or post-EQ signal, along with a Ground Lift switch to minimize unwanted noise. The DG210A's auxiliary input makes jamming along with backing tracks a piece of cake, and its headphone output makes private listening and practice sessions a breeze. You also get a footswitch jack for hands-free control and a 110V/220V voltage-selector switch.
