Nice! Next time I’ve got some spare cash I might just take a punt on it.

Well worth it for the price 👌

I’ve been offered a B7k ultra for £200, now I’m wondering if I should just grab one of these! 

[ern500evo]

Someone posted a pic of one on the Darkglass users fb page, that went down well 😂

Naturally it’s going to happen now Darkglass are this size.  I don’t think the same people buying these are also people prepared to buy them from Darkglass new so it’s not really harming them.

 

I take it this one is a very stripped down copy of an Ultra and doesn’t have the IRs/headphone amp etc, more like a B7K in an ultra sized box?  It’s still very cheap and if it sounds good then I don’t blame people for buying it, but it doesn’t replace the real thing.

Would be interesting to hear them side by side

I’m completely in two minds about it tbh. I think I know deep down that if I bought a clone, I’d always be wondering how the real thing would sound. On the other hand, for the £200 I’ve been offered the Ultra for, I could buy a clone, and the Darkglass Tone capsule I’ve had my eye on for my Warwick bass

Is it a V1 or V2? Great price if the latter, and it’ll hold its value well.

It’s a V1, although there is a V2 on Fb marketplace for £245 

[danbowskill]

If the ultra is the same sounding as a B7k then the Demonfx is a little different. .not loads but its not Darkglass

 

[danbowskill]

If money isnt a massive problem id get the original

[danbowskill]

It's very difficult for a small company, even if they sell globally, to chase down rip offs like this.

Really crappy thing for them to do.

They haven’t even typed their own description, it’s just copied directly from the Darkglass website?

Why stop at the pedal eh!

[Blocka]

If a company doesn’t make a pedal anymore (Super Symmetry) and another clones it. I can’t see how that loses the original company money. 
I sold my super symmetry when I was broke and regret it but can’t find one at a decent price anywhere so I’m excited for the clone TBH

Harmonic booster added... Now on to Origin Effects 🤦‍♂️

I’d be interested to hear how close to the real thing that Harmonic Booster sounds 

[danbowskill]

Who knows, their B7k eq points were a bit of the Mark to Darkglass and distortion not the same... So probably wont be the same

[danbowskill]

Dirty dogs have copied the Alpha omicron, microtubes X and new version B3k now.

Even the names are identical 🤔

Wonder if they will do the infinity 😂

They can’t even be bothered to change the names now! 😂

[fretmeister]

Anyone else tried any model of Demon?

 

I have some xmas money and I'm tempted!

[danbowskill]

Oddly enough (out of curiosity again) I've got the Alpha to compare... I tried the B7k and B7ku clones to compare to the originals and they seemed quite off with Eq points and drive

But! This Alpha seems spot on in comparison ,silent switching and quality feels good.

If the originals are out of price range for folks I'd highly recommend these single smaller versions.

 

Maybe give it a cheeky spay paint 😉

That's handy - the Alpha is what I'm thinking about.
