Gully35 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just received mine today from Bass Direct. I have to say im not happy at paying £200 for a pedal and they can't even be bothered to provide a bit of bubble wrap. It was just in the darkglass box in a plastic bag. Very poor customer service. I hope it works ok!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully35 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Is there no warranty with this pedal? I just got it in a box with no paperwork/ instructions etc. Is this the way they normally are delivered? I hope I didn't get one someone had sent back!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Darkglass pedals come with no paperwork, I believe for ecological reasons. I've had the B3K and now have the B7K and both came just in the box. On their website you have all the info on how to use the pedal and what each control does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully35 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Got to try it out today, there is a noise coming back through the amp. It's kinda like a high pitched hum. Has anyone else experienced this? Sounds great otherwise but I couldn't play live with that coming back through the speaker!!! Considering sending it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully35 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just used a cheap 9v power supply at £9.99, would this be the problem? Do you need to use a something like a T-Rex fuel tank junior to isolate the problem? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Probably the power supply as it might not have been designed for low noise applications, although you don't need to spend loads to get a quiet one. I have a Johnnyshredfreak power supply that served me well for years, very similar to the Diago one. They don't sell that model anymore but do this for less than a tenner: [url="http://www.pedalstuff.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=336&zenid=ec7e9be36c6fd4164691ac6a3bd2ebeb"]http://www.pedalstuff.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=336&zenid=ec7e9be36c6fd4164691ac6a3bd2ebeb[/url] No idea if it's any good though! You could also give [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/power-supplies-8-c.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/power-supplies-8-c.asp[/url] a go.

Gully35 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Got the T-Rex Junior, the pedal works perfectly now, clean as a whistle. The sound is awesome, definitely recommend it well pleased with it. The t-rex is a brilliant power supply as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I could not resist it... so I just ordered one too. I had the B3K for a while, but although it could sound fantastic it was not the type of sound I wanted for the bands I play in. The Vintage looks like it could be "the one" 'though. A bit expensive, but then I could easily spend that money buying 3 other pedals that don't quite sound the way I want so... I just had to go for it. At the moment I am using a range of distortion/overdrives, and I hope the Vintage will help me rationalise my "collection": OKKO Basstard, which is great for fat heavily distorted sounds. I would probably keep this regardless. I use this in the RATM and RHCP bands. Soundblox2 Bass Multiwave distortion... for it's "synth-like" quality, which works well in the funk band. those two will probably stay. It's the following that might be replaced: Joyo Ultimate Drive. It sounds great, but it's a fine balancing act to get it just right as a tiny change in the gain results in a large change in volume... it's a bit annoying live. I like the dirty heavy overdrive from this, and the mild overdrive too... but it's too hard to switch between the two and too sensitive to which bass I am using. I used this in the RATM band mostly. Joyo Vintage Overdrive. This substituted the Ultimate Drive, mostly. Much more controllable and beautiful sounding... it loses a bit of bottom end, unfortunately, otherwise it'd be a real winner. This I use a lot now for the RATM band. It's good at low and mid gain overdrives. TC Electronic Mojo Mojo. Curious pedal this. No problem with bottom end. It does a really nice low gain sound and can do decent mid-high gain too. I use it in the funk band (low gain) and sometimes on the RATM band. From the clips it sounds like the Darkglass can probably give me very similar sounds to teh Joyo Vintage Overdrive, but preserving the bottom end, and more. It's too expensive for me to buy 2 of them to have one on in each pedalboard, but if it sounds THAT good, I won't mind shuttling it between boards.

Depending on how things pan out with the Darkglass and whether the RATM band dies or not (it's been dying slowly over the past few months), I might be persuaded to let it go... you'll be the first to know The Darkglass Vintage should be with me tomorrow, or Monday if I miss the delivery.
