Hi patrick

Best product review I have seen in a long time. He is a fantastic player, not overplaying just fundamentals.

Always nice hearing Darkglass stuff demo'd without LOADS of distortion the whole time. Great real-world examples that have now got me thinking about definitely getting an AO Ultra pedal for the board as a Sansamp alternative 👍

Don’t tell anyone on this very public social media site but the AO pedals are my favorite. The flexibility of the distortion and EQ make it a great mainstay for the board.

I don't need that fuzz/distortion injections. It's not 1970! I like the weight of it, but don't want to get into the mass programming.

Your Darkglass product demos are always super melodic and have practical and useful sound samples. Good Stuff!

This is probably the best Darkglass amp demo to date. Really comprehensive and speaks to all the obtainable sounds out of your amps. Not just soul crushing distortion, which is cool too 😉. Great job!

No exaggeration, that was the best gear review I've ever seen. EVER. All applicable, with context, and clear explanations. These amps are gorgeously designed and sound great as well!

Among the many things to love about this video, the fact it calls "internet video intro" a genre might just be my favourite. Shallow of me, I know.

Cheeeezus. Finally a review that puts the amp not only in a context of a single, modern, overdriven sounds and limited use scenario's. Thank You!

Great demo! As a bass player who essentially never use distortion, I find the clean tones of the Darkglass amps to sound really good, one of the best sounding compact heads! Heck, I even like the driven sounds in this video. Warmth and clarity.

Yeah. Their clean sounds are definitely underrated.

What a great video, nicely done. As an AO900 owner, I like your approach and will give it a shot next time I'm setting up. Thanks!

This is such a good demo. Great job Amos!

Got an Alpha Omega 900 coming soon. Really looking forward to bringing my new Ric 4003s/5 to life. I love this demo and am impressed how even at high levels of grind, the top end isn’t crushed to mush. That’s a problem I’ve had in the past with such as the Tone Hammer 350. Pushing the Drive really strangled the lovely top end crispness 😎

I recently got my Microtubes 500 V2 and since it’s my first Darkglass amp i’m still in discovery mode. I sold my Genzler Magellan 800 for this and I gotta say, as excellent as the Magellan is, the Darkglass fits my needs more. Distortion, cab IRs, software integration, and a one knob compressor.

Great review! Like the others I appreciated the cleans demoing. I have an AO Ultra pedal but a v heavy Ashdown combo which is why I was looking at this as a solution.

Excelent Demo! Thank You!

Excellent review bro! I've been looking for days and I think I may settle on this one right here. I got a lot of recommendations on the 900 but I think 500w is enough for me. I like HEAVY so this is would be great. Cheers!!🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

I came here to see and hear the amp, but fell in love with that rickenbacker bass!

I’m definitely getting one

And it is 2ohm capable🤘🙌. Now my dual-mono rack amp can stay put!

I gotta say... I love your Darkglass demos. It's good to hear DG stuff with something besides metal and you really showcase how versatile the DG stuff can do. I really, really dig the variety of tones you get out of their stuff. I recently joined a country / southern rock band doing originals with a mix of new & classic covers (Hank, Brooks, FGL, Urban). Most of the time I use a pretty typical round, warm, thumpy clean tone but I've been looking for something I can turn to to add just a bit of grit n' growl at times. Something that fills more space when the guitarist dips for a solo or to push some dynamics on a bigchorus. I'm pondering the pedal version of this amp or maybe the micro tubes X. Which would you choose for this kind of project?

I'm a simple man. I see Darkglass notification, I click.

We appreciate your decision making process.

I have the Ultra pedal, I hardly ever use the distortion, I just like the clean tone. I couild never find distorted tones I liked still I started getting freaky with the EQ, problem with that is that my clean tone is then rubbish. I do find when i switch to distortion I want to massively change the graphic settings, so I feel like I need another darkglass EQ so can have my clean signal and my dirty signal, easiest way right now is to buy another darkglass pedal with 4 band midrange sliders, that shit is what nails it. EDIT, so I chained a b7k ultra with the AO Ultra, that has worked out really well.

Sounds awesome! What bass cab are you using?

How does this differ from the black v2 amp?

I wonder how it would sound with y'all's octave pedal?

Is this recorded through just the D.I. or is there any other processing etc....in these clips

😮😮😮 fuckin amazing, never hear somethin like this

Is this 450w @ 8ohms..I keep hearing conflicting things..thanks

So the tone on this vs the 900 is it fuller or bigger on the 900 or is it similar? I just got the 500 and I'm debating getting the 900. But if it's a similar tone idk if I'd be wasting my time upgrading? Anyway love your videos they help me understand this crazy device so much better haha

Hey Travis, I'm in the same boat. I got the 500 but was having that conflict as well. What stood out to me about the 900 was that it had the MIDI output, which if I understand correctly would give me access to having multiple presets programmed (via Darkglass Suite) and controlled by a MIDI footswitch. As opposed to just having distortion on or off. I understand that there are more inputs on the back of the amp on the 900 and I am personally not sure what they do! I am still figuring out the 500 myself so I am going to see how far it will take me before I go for the 900.

Quick question: eould I be able to use this as a bass head with any cabinet? Or would I absolutely need to buy a Darkglass cabinet?

what footswitch would I need for this amp ? ...cheers !

Do I need to have speakers plugged in to use this with headphones?

Is the dI clean ? Like most of their stuff. Or is it post EQ

How does this compare to the AO Ultra? If you're wanting to go ampless, would the Ultra be 100% worth the money? Or would you say this beats the Ultra by a mile regardless of amp or not?

2ohm or 3ohm? Manual on DG Webpage says 3ohm min load? Nice and thorough review!

it would be great if they actually feature a how to use the outputs and recording aplications, the tone is nice but that is a given considering the price on the unit, tired of people showing you how it sounds, specially since they put out a processed and mixed version of it anyway

I have to disagree and think that Patrick gets different tones and timbres utilising different techniques. Patrick is a very happy excitable guy, can't blame him for being enthusiastic eh? He gets to play epic gear! 😋

I like to think Taylor knows who Nolly is now, and gets down to some Xyglrox before playing to 14 year old girls.
