The DarkRay™ II expands on the aggressive, modern foundation of the original DarkRay, adding fully integrated polyphonic octave up and octave down effects to the custom Darkglass® preamp for an even broader sonic palette.

At its core is a custom Darkglass 2-band EQ preamp with master volume, bass, and treble, plus two push/push controls: a gain knob that toggles between the Alpha and Omega distortion voices, and an octave knob that selects octave up or octave down. LED rings on both knobs illuminate when engaged and change color to indicate the selected mode. A 3-way lever switch selects the core tone, octave only, or octave combined with distortion.

The DarkRay II is every bit a StingRay Special, with a neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, ash body, ebony fingerboard, 22 stainless steel frets, black hardware, and the iconic 3+1 headstock. It ships with Ernie Ball rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and is available in Black, Showtime, Spectralite, and Mean Green Burst.
