What the...Darkglass Vintage Microtubes?!?!

[BklynKen]

Got my shipping notice from Prymaxe. As usual awesome customer service from them and their international shipping prices are reasonable!

Interesting, I also ordered from Prymaxe but haven't received anything yet. I guess I'll give it until next week and then contact them.

I shipped their order in 2 shipments, one of which is still on its way, so they would have only been able to ship out some of the Vintages as of today.

I meant 9 or 12 volts. Not 18. I knew that was too much. What would be the benefit of running it at 12?

I don't know - I run all my pedals at 9v. If it ain't broke...

Ah, thanks. I'll just wait.

Are the direct-from-Darkglass purchases shipping this week as well?

I tried running the B3k at 12v. I didn't notice much of a difference, so I went back to 9v. This also lets me use a OneSpot instead of PP2+, which is a big cost savings...

Yep!

Everything is being delivered this week.
EU direct purchases will be first sent to me (also this week) so that I can do all the EU import paperwork and most importantly, tax and customs paying, and then I will re-ship to them.

Yeah, 12V might give some extra headroom, but to be honest, the difference is extremely subtle.

I believe I was the first one to put in a pre order with them. Still I bet you'll have yours before me, as Ive got 6-10 days shipping to wait through. But am enjoying hearing everyone else's thoughts as they receive theirs.

I was talking to Chad (BassEFX) this weekend. Hoping to get a shipping notice but I must not have been in the first round. Bummer, but I'll survive.

I ordered from BassEFX in February and I have not received a shipping notice at all.

I would follow up on that if I were you good sir. Mine should be here tomorrow

Could be right on that. Even ground shipping is pretty much overnight between New Jersey and New York.

Mine arrives today!!!

I sent Chad an email, I guess we'll see what he says.

That was fast - Chad says it's shipped.

Now that's service, folks!

Any feel from Darkglass for where to place BOTH the B3K AND the Vintage in a pedal chain? Where? Which one first, etc? Yes, I'll experiment, but always open to other opinions..

Yep..mine arrives today too..so USPS says...

 

[gregmon79]

Mine should be here any minute!!! Fingers crossed that I get it before practice tonight. Come on USPS!

This is pure speculation. While there is definitely overlap I would think of the Vintage as more of an amp emulator and the B3K as more of a distortion pedal. Again, that's a very broad generalization. So I would put the B3K first and run it into the Vintage.
