Hmm - Doug, while we got you here, I have a question. I have a VMT, and it's... a bit too middy/not enough bite to my ears. The B3K (at least the original ones) were not middy enough/too much bite for my tastes. Are any of your recent offerings likely to be my "just right/goldilocks" pedal?

Always been hesitant on DG stuff but want to know if this could dethrone my XD-1.
I will soon have my dream of being an X-Man.
Haha. When I first saw it this morning I thought it had an X-Men symbol on it at first
Yay i can now buy a Darkglass pedal to replace my Vulcan XL and stop feeling guilty! The low cut on the distortion side of the vulcan is way handier than the grunt bump in DG preamp pedals imo. Lets the harmonic character and clarity shine through while blending in a nice punchy clean side with it. The X7 will achieve this application and result in spades.
I just thought "X" was an easy name to choose for crossover. I didn't catch the Microtubes X, King's X coincidence until you pointed it out lol... Haven't tried the X but the DP-3X is hard to beat without actually bi-amping rigs. Looks like bassists have some good crossover options in pedal form now
I hope that the Ultra Model will have an FX loop for the high channel.
Yes. X-over, XO, and X are shorthand, shorterhand, and shortesthand abbreviations for crossover.
Pre-ordered my MTX7 (X7?) from Sweetwater at around 9:45am. 
P.S. I look forward to A/Bing with the DP-3X, but I'm certain I'll be keeping both.

Hold up, these things are orderable now? When are they coming out?
My Sweetwater rep said a couple/few weeks.
36 month financing on Darkglass from Sweetwater ends in a few hours....
Haven't bought a Darkglass pedal yet. The Microtubes X could be it.
Whoof.
So basically it's the Billy Sheehan pedal but the overdrive actually sounds good.
I've said it before, when is he gonna get wise and endorse DG?

I really, really wish Sweetwater would give up the calling thing. It's 2018.
