Darkglass Electronics is a bass guitar equipment company based in Helsinki, Finland. Darkglass was founded in 2009 by Chilean engineer Douglas Castro. [1] In 2022, Darkglass was bought by Korg. [2]

Contents

The brand is known for their characteristic aggressive overdriven tones that manage to still keep the thickness on the lower end, something that usually happens on most bass overdrive/distortion pedals.

Products

The company originally produced several bass effects pedals, including Overdrive, [3] Compressor [4] and Fuzz, [5] and has expanded its range to building amps, cabinets and accessories.

Their most famous pedals include the Microtubes B7K Ultra, Vintage Ultra, Alpha Omega, and the Hyper Luminal Compressor. [6]
