A sensible response 👍🏻 The implication always seems to be that Darkglass and the like are more expensive than they should be, which in reality their growth in the market suggests that is entirely not the case. In this specific case, the Neural seems to be priced very competitively in comparison to its main rivals, so again is not expensive for what it is. Of course, it’s expensive in general, but that’s just the level we are now at for the kind of gear you can get now. If it’s not affordable , look at Helix. I am sure there are Zoom users that find the Helix expensive too, and that’s fine. Different markets. Rickenbacker is an example of an eye wateringly expensive product 😉

Is it though? Always the default response to anything Doug is involved with, but this is in direct competition with Fractal and Kemper and it’s cheaper than both?

I am confident he will, Darkglass usually ship out a fortnight or less after an announcement, so I am sure he has got the timing right on this if he's giving it nine months. Also, 1000 people have just paid a £170 refundable deposit on £1370 of gear, there will sadly almost certainly be dropouts. Saying that, Tier 2 (November shipment) is filling up from what I hear as well...

It's crazy, really. Technically, first bit of hardware this company has made, no demos, no real sound samples and they have made 200K in deposits in a weekend. Seems Doug wasn't content with dominating the bass effects world! Long nine months await...

It’s a screenshot of a video, it’s not BS 😂 oh, and pre-ordered. Gulp.

I've been itching to tell people about this for so long! Doug has dedicated his life to this for two years, it looks incredible. The idea of going full digital is scary, but this just looks fantastic and the price is fantastic. Who knew i'd be a fan, eh? It's only usually Darkglass stuff I like..... 😉

Hey, I resemble that remark!

What a pair... Still can’t get over the finish on the new one, it’s just perfect!

Have another. Not sorry.

That packaging is unbelievable! But wow, what a bass for the money it seems, where did you get it?

Ohhhh I saw that today and had palpitations, it looks STUNNING

Gulp. And I moaned about paying £3.50 each for the quick release plates for Temple Audio boards...

Wow, I shudder to think how much they may cost!

Why indeed! The tuner was on the board before the Shure, and I am using the second output of the tuner to feed a clean signal to the key input of the noise gate. If I sold the tuner, I’d need to pick up a splitter box and it would cost me as much for a decent one. So the tuner stays for now. Also, if my wireless was to fail mid gig, the Shure unit is rendered useless as it has no cable input, so having the boss means I still have a tuner and a way of muting my signal, should I need it.

Amazing value at £800, congrats!!

Here’s my sound board 🙂 Final for the time being, too neat to mess it up 😂

Since we’re posting Alpher pics, any excuse...
