Twincam Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1475835140' post='3149056'] 900W RMS into 2/4 ohms @ 20% THD... So not quite so much in real life.. I suspect I know now why it was originally the "700" :-) [/quote] So does that mean its 900w with the distortion/od on. And lower wattage clean?

And lower wattage clean? [/quote] It's power stage distortion and usually sounds nasty... Most amp manufacturers (when they do, but getting rarer these days) tend to quote a continuous max RMS figure at <1% THD.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Are they aware of the misprint on the pedal? Very Apple-looking package which is no bad thing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 They're certainly aware, obviously a mistake not corrected from the prototype but I'm not sure if they'll just keep it that way now, its quite funny! But if they do correct it, hey at least itl be first edition collectors item! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I like a good Doug interview. He has so much time for his product users as well as media outlets. Damn nice fellow to chat to face to face too Interesting what he had to say about the Class D power module argument. Also cool that the digital circuitry for the switch can be upgraded in the future without modification to the amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Andertons are still showing shop arrival for Friday. If they manage to ship then I should get mine on Monday / Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The Andertons stock left Finland on Friday, so I reckon they will be shipping before the end of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 That would be awesome. I have a rehearsal on Sat morning. If it arrives in time I'll use it. I have Sinatra, Eagles, Oasis, and some as yet unknown jazz to play. VMT or B3K setting? Mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I like their design approach. The end result looks classy. These are not sensible reasons for buying a new bass amp though. However, there do seem to be a few good reasons to make the investment. For Darkglass pedal owners, how have you found reliability? Darkglass appears to me to have a reputation for quality and I have just been assuming this will carry over to the new head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I either still own or have owned the B3K, VMTD, B7K, Supersymmetry, Duality. No faults / issues with any of them. So far very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Hmm. Sounds good... It's only money... Again... I just don't need that much power though...

[/quote] Switchable power, stick it in 2 ohm mode is 900w its too much for your cabs 350w at 8ohm that way! I have owned multiples of all Darkglass equipment released, I had a couple of issues with the ones built by 3Leaf, but all products built in Finland have been 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBerriff Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Ordered from Andertons. Decent price for that level of quality hardware and I cannot help feeling that everything is about to get a bit more expensive in the short term. So I jumped. I too like Doug's philosophy. Thanks for the feedback, Kev. Edited October 11, 2016 by DBerriff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Andertons stock is in. No dispatch notification yet, but it appears they still have 1 left! No shipments until late November from what Doug was saying, so order quick anyone who is still debating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Are they shipping straight away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] At a guess, I would say preorders will ship tomorrow. Ordering the one in stock now will be guaranteed for Thursday, so imagine preorders will be the same, unless they did get dispatched today, which seems unlikely now. EDIT: All stock now gone, but apparently they are getting more in a week? DG must have really increased production if they can meet another shipload so soon, I don't any other british dealers have their initial stock yet...
