I stole this from Doug's Instagram feed (via FB). The first batch of amps shipping to the U.S. You lucky people! Well done Darkglass team! Well deserved bubbles.

Thanks! Bubbles were nice, but celebration was brief.
We have more amps shipping to Europe next week, Asia later on.

Thank you everyone for the support, good vibes and questions, keep'em coming!
 
Checked a couple websites and the expected ship date is Oct 21st. 1 month everyone!

I just spoke to the USA distributor and they are shipping from distributor to dealers (I think this is in-general and not just us) end of next week. End of the following week should see some end users with these.
 
So my preorder from zzounds got canceled and said

"Hello Alex,
Thank you for your order and for your patience with this
backordered product. I regret to inform you that we have been contacted
by Darkglass about this amplifier and they have stated that this
backorder is unable to be fulfilled on this product."

I'm hoping this is just an issue with the name change or something?!?!?! Help Doug! I'm currently rigless in prep for this release!

They're saying that the issue is with Darkglass directly telling them they will never have stock to fulfill the order, understandable if it's based directly on the name Microtubes 700 however nothing was said about the name change from 700 to 900 and offering that as a replacement. Just super frantic and anxious about all this let me know!

Many of you Amp freaks can probably relate. I've wanted a unit to select between several amps/cabs easily for a while.

We built this nice Amplifier Switching System using Arduino.

Besides being super useful for QC it will come in handy when comparing several cabs as you can also connect 8 cabs onto a single amp. We even left room for small dummy loads on the PCB in case we ever feel like testing tube amps.




I think it'd be pretty cool if you made a footswitch that would control the distortion for two amps! If this work keeps going well, I'll have everything paid off for music and I'll grab two of these. hehehehehehe

Actually I'd have to try splitting the signal from one Footswitch and see what would happen with 2 amps!
 
I was digging that backing track. Anyone know the band/bassist?

Thank you! The concept and idea for that video was pitched by Francisco Cresp, our QC manager at Darkglass who is also an amazing metal singer, producer and composer.

He composed and recorded all the music for the video using an M900 and a Dingwall NG2.

I'll tell him you liked it :).
