+1 And even better, the Alpha Omega (a few more bells and whistles).

I feel like the proliferation of "the Darkglass sound" has made heavy music more boring.

That might be. For my (non-metal) purposes, it's fine though. I use a ten-band graphic EQ into that pedal, and then into a slightly overdriven Class D head and it sounds pretty effin' good.

The best is having the fuzz on and just turning the volume knob down. That's impractical sometimes though so a rangemaster for guitar, EP booster for lap steel

haven't played anything DG, what's that sound like, compressed, scooped?

While I do get that the four pedals here seem like they are aimed more at the "Journey Cover Band..."/"Tone Attorney..." set?

I can't say that what the set out to do and the combinations that they settled on do not feel pretty practical.

(Even more so when I think of the folks who went right to a BOSS pedal or the Nobels in this thread...)

Here’s the demo that made me want to buy one:

You get a good variety of sounds and it has a blend knob.

Yeah, the cliched djenty scooped scritchy shit

Why do all of the new Keeleys look like part of post Y2k X-Men uniforms?

To date, only one of the tracks I’ve released has featured that Darkglass pedal on it. But it sure came in handy in adding some meatiness and color to said track’s bass tone. The track is slower and needed more oomph and the pedal obliged.

Haven’t recorded anything with the new setup, probably won’t for some time. But . . . just standing in front of it with everything dialed to taste—close enough to optimal—and playing whatever comes to mind . . . it sounds very good. Have heard way more boring/ineffectual things than what’ll come out of those speakers.

Also, I have no idea what “djent” is. Current trends in music often feel beside the point. Can't be bothered much.

Anything Fredric effects.
