Darkglass teasing a new product

[TaySte_2000]

Having scanned the website/manual and skipped through the videos - I've not spotted anything about an aux-in function for practise-purposes.
If anyone spots anything, let me know..

I’m really hoping for the bluetooth of the Element, or a way to use the effects loop as an IEM feed. But Darkglass make a product exactly for this purpose in the element, so I guess we have to just have both.

Well I’ve had the Quad Cortex and I’ve had the Tonex, currently the Element is my little box of tone (EQ and an IR) so this is definitely interesting if only for the form factor.

Looked like it had compression metering.

Watched a promo video from Darkglass and found it funny that it said it was the very first bass-centric multi effect. I'm sure ZOOM sitting over there like, wait, what?

USB will probably work for that. I've been doing the same with my Helix for years. Bluetooth would be better for practice TBH, but I can't see any mention of that either.

Cool unit. Always bothered when pedals are made in some unique size/formfactor. I like a nice straight line of pedals.

I guess this unit kind of replaces most pedals though. Just a weird issue I have with so many pedals (and every single tuner ever made).

Price-wise, what do people think vs the HX Stomp, Neural Cortex etc? £899 UK is a lot to what seems like a comparable-ish product?

Ok, watching the video it looks to be really well thought out and looks like a great modeler for bassists. Need to find dimensions and current draw. (Just saw the back of the pedal and it looks like it says 12VDC 2A. Guess my Cioks can do that with some current doublers. )

Just saw this and it looks super awesome! I've been eyeing a Quad Cortex ever since they came out, but never could justify the price tag. This looks like a viable alternative although it's still a somewhat hefty $1,200 price tag which is almost double the Line 6 HX Stomp at $700. If it was closer to $900, I'd likely be all over it!

HX Stomp is great, but the technology is a bit dated. This has everything a bassist could want and you don't have to scroll through all the guitar crap to get to what you need. That in itself is just about worth it for me. Heh. Basically, this and a wireless pedal and I'm good to go. I was skeptical before I saw the video. I think I'm in when available.

From the manual

9V DC: Power Input 9V DC, 2 A.

Back of the pedal shows 9-12vdc - 2 A

Does the manual have dimensions? I can't get to the Darkglass site right now. Either the site is under load or work is blocking it because of the last three letters. Heh.

EDIT: finally got in. 8.27" x 4.13" or 210mm x 105mm, so it will fit on a Nano with a wireless.

Looks very cool. I don't think it's enough to pull me away from the Stomp XL but seems like a well thought out system.

 

[Parzival]

Looks to me like they have a Noble model in there.

 

[flipper_gv]

I was thinking on getting a HX Stomp soon-ish, but I might get this instead.

No worries - they were one of the first ones that had them available this morning when I checked before work. Actually seeing them up on Sweetwater now.
