bjelkeman Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 In a few weeks I am going to visit Darkglass Electronics in Helsinki, Finland. I think I hardly need to introduce Darkglass to you, but they build awesome bass effects pedals and preamps. Doug, the founder of Darkglass invited me to their new workshop. If you have any specific questions to Doug I'll share them and we'll see if we can't get answers. I will write a trip report with pictures, pretty much like the Mayones trip report I did earlier. http://www.darkglass.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sounds good! I hope you get some interesting questions to put to Doug. And then, please write one of your awesome blogs/reports like you did for other visits in the past, and I'll be happy to read it and share it to our Twitter followers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Please thank Doug for comming up with the B3K. The best pedal ever made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Coffee Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ask him to bring out a pedal to save several settings like the tech21 deluxe BDDI. That would make the vintage pedal perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Excellent! Doug is a great guy and I would love to go down a visit his workshop, especially since they are all made in Finland again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Don't know the ins and outs, but only recently. Hence the new workshop It was when he released the Limited Edition Vintage Deluxe pedals. Few upgrades too, the switch is a lot more reliable now (I had 3 of the US ones fail on me) and the B3K now has a Attack Cut mode, rather than boost or flat And Duality now has a mirror facing!

dannybuoy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 You can ask him about the forthcoming internal active bass preamp! I asked over on TB if we would be seeing a retail version of the Darkglass preamp used in the new Dingwall NG2 bass. He said it's in the works and will be called the B2M - to which I warned him about the Sonuus B2M bass-to-MIDI converter! And to thank me for giving him the heads up on that, he's going to send me a t-shirt and one of the prototypes, what a dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjelkeman Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Yum, active Darkglass internal preamp. Sounds perfect for one of my bass modding projects. Yep, will ask about that dannybuoy. Thanks! Edited November 15, 2014 by bjelkeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Doug is a very cool guy. I remember ages ago contacting him regarding the B3K and becoming a Darkglass endorser! I remember we spoke about a "new pedal" that was still in the works and finally became their Duality Fuzz. I am really curious about the preamp and if there are any more pedals coming our way soon!
