Darkglass B3K V2

“I get one and I cannot get the "grind" that I've heard in so many different demo's/reviews on YouTube. I've tried using the controls every which way I can and still can't get it.”

“I have the B7k ultra v2 and the B3kv2. Both have the same drive circuit as yours. The versatility of these pedals is amazing.”

“It's particular baked in tone is great for metal and prog rock, especially where you need to hear the note articulation. For stoner rock, I don't think it's a good choice at all.”

“Took me sometime to find a setting I liked, as with the blend/drive up high it would disappear in the mix. I could run it at a lower gain or blend at 12, but it wasn't really giving me what I need.”

“Highly recommend darkglass b3k v2 distortion pedal… you can get most distortion sounds that you’re after”

“It's dirt without the dirt Very tight, great definition, blah blah BUT... maybe suitable if you want that polished "modern sounding" djent tone, not if you want to sound nasty.”

“I wanted to like it but for that much coin I really expected to blow me away. It didn't. I just came to the conclusion that although it's a well regarded pedal, it just wasn't for me....”

“I had a B3K for a minute, but as others have said, once I found a good grindy tone that worked, it vanished in the live mix. Great for recording though.”

“In my experience B3K has a more articulate and 'playable' sound, cuts through the mix much better (to be honest the Agro gets lost), and is quieter too (Agro is a bit hissy).”

“I love how my B3K sounds but it seems to all but disappear in a full-band mix, and I’ve found that when I try to dial in slightly more dirt to stand out a bit more I lose a significant amount of low-end fundamental.”

“B3k and B7k: I thought the bedroom tone was awesome but in a mix I had a real hard time getting them to not seem washed out... even with the EQ on the b7k.”

“I have b3k and use it almost exclusively with low gain, and still have the blend knob on mostly dry. it gives a very nice very xlean but sliiightly zingy tone”

“It's a great little pedal but definitely not enough for really brutal and nasty stuff on its own, it needs help for that. If you want to add a little dirt/drive to your sound, a bit of edge, it's great.”

“I dig the VMT but not really connecting with the B3K. I get OK bedroom tones from the B3K, but lost in the mix with the rest of my metal band.”

“although I did not like the B3k/b7k character too much on its own, I do like that character when complimented by other instruments in the mix.”

“running it that way, plus using the mid switch, and keeping the tone no higher than noon, helps get some good dirt, without losing mids or "body"”

“the B3K is too... something. Too well-behaved? Scooped? No matter how I tweaked it I couldn't dial out what I experienced as a "scoopiness"”

“I bought a Bk3 used, enjoyed messing with for a few months and sold it for what I had in it. Cost to find out it just wasn't my cup of tea?”

“I cannot be the only one who constantly bumps the knobs with my foot, nothing worse than your volume spiking or lowering mid-song.”

“I used to have a b3k for a little bit, I ended up buying a MBD-1 on a whim from the hype, the darkglass was sold a week later.”

“Overall, this pedal roars. It’s got a warm touch or a mean bite that’s easy to dial in and its distinct voicing allows it to cut through the mix.”

“thanks for making a pedal that can actually realise the sound I've had in my head for years AND cut through two high-gain guitar stacks”

“I had both B3K and Alpha-Omicron. I kept Alpha-Omicron. It is not mid-scooped as B3K and has much more tone options.”

“Everything I heard online with the B3K was excellent but when I finally purchased one I just couldn't make it work for me.”
