    Official Darkglass Club: Welcome to the Darkside

    Hey all I bought the Darkglass B7K (original not V2 with the cab sim) and was wondering if there was any way of getting hold of Darkglass IRs to use in plugins like Two Notes Wall of Sound

    Official Darkglass Club: Welcome to the Darkside

    Thanks man firmware is up to date I'm going to return the unit at this stage, may pick up the previous version with no cab sim and use IRs in the box.

    Well I tried the gain reduction no effect even if I whack it all the way down, think there's an issue the cab sim doesn't even sound all that different just has added noise, first part is no cab sim, 2nd part click in the CS clear addition of a ton of noise. I'm returning the unit once I get the...

    Thanks there will try the suite, in terms of power I'm using a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus. The noise isn't really noticeable when recording but if I start adding FX in like delay or chorus as plugins it boosts the noise level. Does Darkglass or anyone else offer PC based IRs so I can simply...

    Hey guys does anyone notice the B7K Ultra V2 Cab Sims adds noise and hiss into the pedal? It's noticeable and goes completely when the cab sim is off

    Darkglass Microtubes B7K Ultra Cab Sim adds noise?

    Hey all just wondering if anyone notices that the cab sim on this pedal adds noticeable noise and hiss into the sound? It completely goes when you bypass the sim. Is this normal or have I possibly received a faulty unit?

    Does the Tech 21 VT Bass need a DI?

    I've got the Tech 21 VT Bass for recording directly into a USB audio interface but was wondering if the sound would be improved if I put a DI box after it? Does anyone use it in this fashion Thanks in advance!

    VT Bass and Amp Sims on PC

    I've never had a problem with latency, I just make sure the PC is a powerful one and dedicate it to music applications only. That way there's less variables effecting the PC as a whole In terms of amp sims I find the guitar ones are much better than the bass ones. I don't see any point in...

    Excellent - that will save a bit of processing power then. I might go for the California guitar sim as well

    VT Bass and Amp Sims on PC

    I've decided to get the Tech 21 VT bass but was wondering if anyone uses it with VST amp sims for PC recording - or is that pointless because the VT bass is doing all the sim work anyway and all you need is a bit of compression/ EQ. I plan to go into a Joemeek Compressor first and then into...
