DangerDan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Interesting. Wonder when they will be in shops/ how much/ when the clone kit will be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Looks interesting. I've always loved the B[i]x[/i]K sound when I've heard it, even though I can't make it work for me when I've tried any of their gear out. I've always put that down to the mid scoop, but being able to boost mids on the B3K and select the frequencies on the B7K may well change all that. Assuming they're sensibly priced of course. Just thought I'd lob that grenade in as we all know someone will mention it sooner or later Edited October 16, 2017 by Osiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I asked Doug on fb about the tone control on the B3K - apparently it's exactly like the version within the M900 amp. That pleases me hugely - I think the M900 version is the best of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Wow - I thought the original sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totorbass Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I just bought again an used B3K. Too bad. But in fact I doubt this beast can really sound "more natural" as says the ad, as far as I did not experience the fact than tweaking an eq can change the very character of a pedal. I May be wrong, and maybe it's a Coué method argument, but I feel they did a good promotional job, hearing that the only complaints were "does not sound very natural", they put a switch that is supposed to solve this "problem". Nevertheless I find that the guys at Darkglass are very careful about their customer's FB, so maybe it's a great improvement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I did like the B3K for recording stuff esp on the amp but it did suck out some tone, this could be a very welcome addition, although you are right, a bit of judicious EQ sorted it. This is a solid addition I think to their line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendall Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have mooted the B3K as a potential new toy for Xmas. Wonder if the V2 will bring down the prices of the V1 and maybe then I could stretch to the B7K. Either way - it's lovely kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Great changes on the B3K, the tone knob is the best part of the M900 pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1508235766' post='3390662'] Great changes on the B3K, the tone knob is the best part of the M900 pre. [/quote] Agreed. If they can find a way of integrating the tone knob on the vintage deluxe/ultra I'd be back on the Darkglass bandwagon. It was the secret sauce of the M900 and my recently departed Vintage Ultra just didn't quite get there. In the meantime I've a Two Notes Le Bass incoming to try to fill that hole. I blame the "Ebay..." forum on here for that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Two Notes did not disappoint me, I love mine absolutely, it actually sealed the deal for the death of my DG pedal. Hope you find you love it as much as I do-go in with an open mind and you’ll get it right, it’s its own beast and will sound it’s own way, hope it’s right for you, and those fusion modes are mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those too and it's an awesome pedal. Do you have the Hartke pedal clean to push the Two Notes more, or just to fatten things?
