Sign in to disble this ad
Hey,
I am a Darkglass Electronics artist and recently did a demo video for the B3K Overdrive which is now up on thier youtube.
I thought it would be of interest to some of you guys over here on talkbass and if anyone want to hear what it can do tone-wise. If you want to check it out you can find it here YouTube - ‪Microtubes B3K Demo by Will Davies‬‏
Cheers |

The B3K is definitely my favorite overdrive of any that I've used. What was your signal chain for that video? |

Endorsing Artist:Orange Amps, EBS FX, Ernie Ball, Fender Bass Guitars | | | | | Thanks guys. It was all done fingerstyle apart from one that was done with a pick - which i labelled up on the video.
I play for attack! attack! - The UK band not the US 'crabcore' band. I don't know which one of us you were referring to.
My signal chain for that demo was an FGN custom Jazz with SD SJB-1 > EBS Multicomp > Darkglass B3K > Euphonic Audio I-amp 300 > Aguilar DB112NT - Took a DI from the head and mic'd the cab up with a SM57 into Pro Tools Mbox 2 |

It would be really great if you could comment on the youtube page for the video... would be great to help out a small company that has great products! |

I was all content with not having to spend so much money on this OD too...
Sweet video! I really like how this pedal sounds through my headphones. Not sure how well it would translate to my amp (using some mid-level studio monitor headphones) but I like it enough to be on the lookout for a used one.  |

I love my clean tone (mesa fathom) and the b3k let's me overdrive it in a way that still sounds like my amp.

+1 on the great video comment. Definitely a fan of "no BS" showcases like that. |

Does this pedal like active and passive basses?
