Gonna say something a bit controversial now,

I think there's an issue here in regards to the aomi being similar to the b3k a lot of ppl all of a sudden had the same bass drive sound, for me the aomi is great but it's still not on the level of the bigger ao

Would have preferred Doug to go down the route of splitting the two drives in to separate pedals for cheaper

Close to my opinion. But I'd like an AO Ultra but instead of one clean one dirty, it's one A and one O, with it being cascadable of flip flop switching.

This is also my thinking aswell but just don't have it priced as something stupid!

They'll always be high in price which is a shame. Brexit seems to have added about £50 onto the Deluxe pedals from before Brexit prices.

Doug has 3 more product announcements coming this month so who knows!

[fretmeister]

I'm going to guess

Cab
Ultra AO
Smaller foot print compressor
Another limited B7K with new graphics.

I reckon you've nailed it.

[dannybuoy]

They've hinted that they've been doing some DSP related shenanigans behind the scenes too. Darkglass plugins or digital fx may be headed our way...

I think it's commercially unwise to release the Ultra AO yet - the regular one's not been out long enough. Gotta maximise the upgrades!

Cab and smaller compressor that works on 9v would be good,spose the third could be mundane, like an etched-design AO, or a rack-mount for the Amp.

[fretmeister]

Rack mount for the amp would be very useful.

Obviously every pedal maker should be making at least 1 model of envelope filter! Not that I'm obsessed or anything.
(I think I had about 25 of them at the height of my addiction)

The current comp is 9V.

Is it? I thought it was one of these complicated ones that needed a special adapter and messed up your pedalboard power. Might be another one then. Sorry!

[Bigwan]

Cabs we know about, AOm wasn't totally unexpected and certainly more expected than an Ultra version at this point.

I think a smaller amp might be in the pipeline myself but Doug has been teasing something microprocessor based for a while. I'd put my money on a microtubes engine-ish preamp with presets (with AO? Maybe would cannibalise the rest of the product range too much for comfort though). Guess we'll have to wait and see! It'll be interesting to see whether he spreads the 4 announcements across the month...

Is the multi amp footswitch out yet?

That one?

Bass Direct have been selling it for ages - it's mentioned as part of a package deal as well as a separate.

For all you Darkglass nuts there is a 5 min video on the Darkglass instagram account where he is talking about his cabs...

I returned the Duality I bought due to the lack of EQ... Tonal character was just too different from my clean tone. Not interested in this one for the same reason.

have you tried the A/O?

for me with the two separate sounds for the drive and the to eq switches there is more eq options even with out the eq of its big bro but for me im still with you i dnt set my A/O anywhere near flat (eq all at noon) so for me this is aimed at some one who probs already has a b7k or sansamp for tone shaping. however i do think a tone knob or some form of eq control would be nice on the smaller darkglass pedals.

Does anyone else find that video a bit cringy?

[fretmeister]

Which vid? There are several in the thread.

[Left Foot]

First one.
