Darkglass B3K.....Ok, I get it!

Hehe actually I became good friends of one of the guys running the bass division there (awesome to be able to compete without any kind of animosity) and he asked if he could send me one so I could tell him what I think. I got it and after 2 weeks I told him it freaking rocks. It has some variable voltage outputs and other goodies. I opened it up and it seemed well built - if I still had time to play gigs it'd probably be my go to. But I've used voodoo labs and cioks on our NAMM boards and they are amazing too. It all comes down to your budget and what features you need.

Holy crap Doug- you opened it?!?

Is it actually isolated? We've all been wondering.

Don't quote me on this one because I just took a quick look (I was more interested in seeing the construction quality than anything else) but it's a very complex, impressive circuit (and it seemed very cleverly designed and built). It did have a ton of trafos and stuff going on inside, but to find out you'll have to ask Dunlop.

From @boomertech -

A simple test to see if it is truly isolated, is to measure resistance between the grounds between each DC outlet. If the resistance is anything less than an open circuit, then it would not be isolated.
