Amazing deal!

I've had the Vox too and the Element is a lot more flexible. The Vox will get the job done but the Darkglass feels different quality and offers more as a practice tool, at least to me. It's robust, can act as a tuner, has changeable amp and cab sims and, most important for me, you can play bluetooth audio - all without needing any other pedal. I use Spotify to play my favourite tracks on my phone and play over them through the Element. I also used it as my desktop DI for a while. I actually have three... one on my main board for silent practice, one on my desktop set-up and another on a small portable practice board, so it's safe to say I'm a fan. On my main board, it's the final pedal so it can act as a DI, go straight into my combo practice amp, or just to use with a pair of headphones. The only thing I would note is that it can't take a battery - if that's not a bar I can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic bit of kit. Probably my most used pedal and fantastic for headphone practice. GLWTS.

True. Perhaps another way of looking at it is too few pink basses?

That is seriously tempting. The pink looks fantastic.

This is an amazing pedal and an amazing deal. I ordered during the last preorder, April, and it arrived last week. It worked out at about £360. Given these sell out in typically four hours and get released rarely, this is a steal. GLWTS.

Nice! Good price too. I have the HH version and it’s become my main bass. I’ve kept the pearlescent pickguard on as I like the contrast but it looks good in black too. GLWTS.

I have one of these basses and my local luthier said I may as well sell all of the others because it's as perfect as it gets. These basses are incredible, the tone is phenomenal and this particular bass looks great in the pictures. Somebody should be biting your hand off for that price. GLWTS.

@mrtcat I’ve PM’d you as I’m not sure on the BC demo policy. The Origin Effects Super Vintage is a fantastic bit of kit. It’s more of a one box solution, with DI and cabsims. I find it a bit awkward to run with my Noble as I prefer the Noble to be last in the chain but the features of the SV suggest that should be last. The combination of the SV and the tube from the Noble combine very well though. The SBVT doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the SV but its dual tubes mean that it automatically has the heft and sheer air-moving power that comes less naturally to the SV, even if the SV nails the SVT tone. As the Noble is a permanent part of my set up and I usually don’t like running tubes into tubes, the SBVT is getting less of a look-in. One other pedal to consider is the Shift-line Olympic MkIIIS. They’ve been difficult to get hold of as they’re made in Russia but I believe they will be exported again soon. These have a 12AX7 tube, XLR out, SD card changeable cabsims, headphone out and even an FX loop so you can get the SVT sound, tube heft, and not need to worry about where in the chain it’ll go (https://shift-line.com/olympic) Obviously, touting the Olympic on a sale thread for the SBVT is a bit odd but can you tell I don’t really want to sell my SBVT?
