Darkglass distortion pedal poll.

[Zip2461996]

I won't add PHOTON as a choice since it is too new for people to have experienced it. State if you use a pick or fingers, with an amp or not etc. I only mention the main of each series to keep it specific.

Photon is Alpha Omega anyways, doesn’t need it’s own entry

I was gonna vote B3K where is it lol

B3K = B7K. I assume this poll is just about the distortion circuit, not the individual pedal.

B3K = B7K. I assume this poll is just about the distortion circuit, not the individual pedal.

I didn’t gel with my B7K or B7K Ultra as well as I did my B3K.. though the Ultra was more versatile IMO… still haven’t tried any of the Vintage circuits

 

[BOOG]

Through an amp and cabs intermittently, I use (1st choice) a Vintage Microtubes or Alpha Omicron depending on what I’m playing.

 

[Mechanical]

The X7 is the perfect distortion for me.

This video helped me settle on the B7K, though my next choice would be the alpha omega.

 

[FunkHead]

Not on the poll but I love my B3K.

Not the pedal, but the VMT circuit is always blended in on my microtubes 900, play with both pick and fingers and leave setting the same

I liked the sound of the HyperLuminal from that video.

B3k

I own the AlphaOmega but that’s me. Didn’t care for the Vintage or B7K.

 

[Mikey F]

I have a vintage and a duality and am all set.

 

[Brich]

B7K Ultra, been on my board for 3 years, don't see it going anywhere

 

[Milo's]

I use the vintage deluxe for a more classic grindy tone. Haven’t taken it out of my setup since I got it.

 

[The Petro]

I have the micro tubes X ultra, but would have bought the AO ultra if they were in stock at the time.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I’ve tried Darkglass several times and they always end up listed in the classifieds. Stellar build quality, I just don’t dig the Darkglass tone that they all seem to have. Would love, love, love if they did a B-15 / SVT pedal similar to Alpha Omega deluxe. But that’s unlikely to happen. They sell plenty doing what they’re doing.

a/o is the safest bet. Imo it’s the best all a-rounder

X is what I currently have on my board. It’s not as versatile as the A/O but for cutting through fast dirty metal style guitar playing
In particular It’s my favorite. So picking between the x and the A/o the music you play should be a big consideration.

the b7k was too subtle for me.

the duality is still my favorite fuzz. the filter control solved the issue I’ve always had with fuzzes where the high end of the fuzz sounds really trashy (in a bad way) when using modern active bassses. A lot of fuzzes sound good with a p bass with flats but for people who play with active basses with roundwounds I feel like they are missing out by not giving the duality a chance. I wouldn’t really compare it to the other pedals though. It’s a fuzz not a drive at all. It’ll turn heads when you turn it on on a gig but it’s more of a sprinkle it in here and there kind of pedal where the other all really can be left on for the entire song if you want.

Vintage. I do really like the X pedals but the VU is so versatile and also can sound very b15/svt like.
