Perfect for my needs
This pedal was bought as the solution to multiple issues, i wanted a pedal that could function as a di or work with my amp, or both, for live settings. To be able to record high quality tones without micing a cab or using plugins, and to fulfil a specific purpose on my pedalbaord as i always run a compressor last in my chain, this pedal does all I require and more, it has multiband eq, headphone out and line in so i can connect my phone and headphones and practice with songs quietly.
Going to the darkglass suite gives the option to change cabsims or engage the fullband clean compression, allowing this pedal to function as an amp/cab replacement, distortion, compressor and practice tool.
Overall im quite inpressed with the pedal, the frequency selection knobs i leave wide open so theres crossover of bass/trable frequencies for a thicker/more traditional sound, dialling in these knobs seperates the bass and treble frequencies being compressed/distorted for a more modern distorted tone. The multiband eq allows total control of tone sculpting, however i leave these mostly flat or sometimes with a boost to treble and bass frequencies, dialling in the high treble frequencies too much seems to add a lot of hiss to the signal, however for bass i doubt anyone will be boosting the treble frequencies to the max so this is not an issue

It's Darkglass
If you need a great and unique sound you go for this one, you can plug it directly in your PA or Interface and it works perfectly

Bad EQ controls
Great product, no doubt.
However, the entire mid-frequency sliders of the EQ session are completely unbalanced. They work more like a “cut/flat/boost” switch rather than a subtle modulator. Surprisingly, the low freq. and high freq. sliders allow a perfect modulation of volume intensity for that frequency, but the mid frequency sliders do absolutely nothing for 90% of their positions… they only work at the end of their rides, making modulations impossible. I returned the Darkglass illuminal booster for the same reason. Such a shame.

Just perfect!
Really the best tool to have as a bass player. You can have all the tones that you could ever imagine. From the nastiest distortion, ginormous fuzz to a Chrystal clean all in one. Plus it's built like a tank.

Perfect for metal \m/
I've been a Darkglass fan for years because they always nail top-tier quality, and this pedal is no different, it's hands-down a top product for bass and metal music. The sound and functionality are killer. I run my whole bass rig and other pedals through it, and everything comes out sounding absolutely incredible. If you're into heavy tones, grab this!
