ern500evo Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’ve been offered a B7k ultra for £200, now I’m wondering if I should just grab one of these! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Naturally it’s going to happen now Darkglass are this size. I don’t think the same people buying these are also people prepared to buy them from Darkglass new so it’s not really harming them. I take it this one is a very stripped down copy of an Ultra and doesn’t have the IRs/headphone amp etc, more like a B7K in an ultra sized box? It’s still very cheap and if it sounds good then I don’t blame people for buying it, but it doesn’t replace the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m completely in two minds about it tbh. I think I know deep down that if I bought a clone, I’d always be wondering how the real thing would sound. On the other hand, for the £200 I’ve been offered the Ultra for, I could buy a clone, and the Darkglass Tone capsule I’ve had my eye on for my Warwick bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price if the latter, and it’ll hold its value well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbowskill Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 If the ultra is the same sounding as a B7k then the Demonfx is a little different. .not loads but its not Darkglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocka Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If a company doesn’t make a pedal anymore (Super Symmetry) and another clones it. I can’t see how that loses the original company money. I sold my super symmetry when I was broke and regret it but can’t find one at a decent price anywhere so I’m excited for the clone TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbowskill Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Who knows, their B7k eq points were a bit of the Mark to Darkglass and distortion not the same... So probably wont be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Dirty dogs have copied the Alpha omicron, microtubes X and new version B3k now. Even the names are identical 🤔 http://www.demon-fx.com/index.php?c=show&id=66 Wonder if they will do the infinity 😂 Edited November 27, 2022 by danbowskill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Anyone else tried any model of Demon? I have some xmas money and I'm tempted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Oddly enough (out of curiosity again) I've got the Alpha to compare... I tried the B7k and B7ku clones to compare to the originals and they seemed quite off with Eq points and drive But! This Alpha seems spot on in comparison ,silent switching and quality feels good. If the originals are out of price range for folks I'd highly recommend these single smaller versions. Maybe give it a cheeky spay paint 😉 Edited January 3, 2023 by danbowskill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 That's handy - the Alpha is what I'm thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
