Hybrid Analog and Digital Electronics That Span the Globe
Darkglass has brought inspiration to musicians in over 40 countries. This includes exclusive distribution in such countries as Japan, China, US, Germany, and Australia. With Darkglass’s dedication to pushing sonic and technological boundaries, their products easily find homes in many studios and stages across the world. For instance, many bass players currently use Darkglass hybrid analog and digital electronics, voicing their love of the innovative designs that herald a glowing new age of professional music gear.
Putting the Pedal to the Metal
While it may be hard to have just one, Darkglass makes pedals for the modern bassist that cater to a wide range of players, from simple and flexible distortion to programmable amp-replacement preamps. Compression, tone, drive, MIDI flexibility, cab simulation, DI out, and audio interface functionality are just a few reasons why Darkglass pedals sound, look, and function a cut above. Their four key voicing techniques can cover the needs of almost any player. Plus, they also offer studio-grade utility pedals like compressors and headphone amps.
All Bark, All Bite Bass Amplification
You may have heard the buzz about Darkglass’s pedal line. Well, their amplifiers bring that same circuitry to the table with studio-quality features like graphic EQ, XLR DI, a smart compressor, cabinet simulation, and more. For instance, the Darkglass Microtubes and Alpha-Omega heads in 900-watt, 500-watt, and even pared-down 200-watt versions deliver everything from brutality to clarity and everything in between. The B3K and VMT channels within the Microtubes amp heads keep your signal spanking with serious overdrive and singing with vintage tone. For those with a penchant for analog amplification with all the bells and whistles of digital effects and preamps, the Darkglass Exponent 500 hybrid amp head is all bark and all bite with plenty of sophistication.
Serious Low-end Weaponry
Darkglass cabinets will knock you off your feet in the best way possible. With the utmost care, Darkglass designs their cabinets to perfectly complement Darkglass heads — add a pedal in the mix, and you’re treated to a triple threat of tone, EQ, and powerful volume. The detailed construction of their cabinets includes neodymium speakers, paulownia cabinets, and Baltic birch front baffles — all packed into a lightweight design. Polished off with classic Darkglass carbon fiber Tolex, these cabinets bring low-end weaponry garbed in stunning and durable shells.
You’re in Good Company
Bassists who want versatile controls, serious power, and circuitry designs that deliver the goods vie for Darkglass products. That’s why you’ll find big-name bassists like Tony Levin, Jeff Matz, Tim Lefebvre, Emma Hughes, and Alex Webster rocking out with Darkglass. Not to mention, Darkglass’s collaboration with Adam “Nolly” Getgood led to the development of the Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine — a roaring pedal with boatloads of compressed, distorted decadence. Also, the Alpha-Omega, one of their most popular circuitry designs, was voiced with the help of Jon Stockman. For all these reasons and more, Sweetwater is proud to deliver Darkglass Electronics products to our customers. They just might change the way you play.
