Official Darkglass Club: Part II

If you had to pick just ONE DG pedal? Any why.

Not to toot my own horn, but Darkglass just reposted my board photo as their "pedalboard of the day" on Instagram. Technically the VMT isn't on my board anymore, but I'll be getting either a B3K or B7K soon :) You should all go follow them!

Niccccce. I activated my Instagram again just to get my board up on there. I don't know how to enter it on there.
 
hmmm, I've been playing with the B7K for about an hour now and it's really noisy. It's especially loud when I have the blend over 50%, and the grunt switch on fat. Any ideas? Maybe i'm running dirty power?

What power supply are you using? I'm personally using the Visual Sound 1-Spot (recommended by Douglas Castro himself) without any noise issues.
 
It's almost certainly power. Try it with a one spot. Also, are you playing with any other pedals in your chain? Sometimes another pedal can be the culprit. I had noise originally since I had a boss micro br in my chain (for recording). It's a digital pedal and didn't like sharing power with the microtubes. I have since taken that away and the hum is gone (I think it was ground loop related).
 
and here it is on my board can i have a number now? ;)

Naw, it's just the B7K running by itself. I've been using a tech 21 9v adapter, but I had a bunch of other things plugged into the same power strip. When I get back home from work, I'll try to play the B7K on its own outlet to see if that clears up the loud hum. If not, i may return it.
