MrDinsdale Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 If someone could test out their cali compressor in the name of science and let me know what it’s like that’d be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 How much are they? Used Alpha Omicron must be somewhere between £110-£130 mark with almost 0% depreciation if you choose to sell again, so saving needs to be really quite decent to risk the knock off?

Sibob Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Isn't it the case that it's actually quite difficult to defend one's IP in China (where Demon seem to be based), as such, it's probably not worth Darkglass' time and money to go after them. For the sake of a few quid, i'd rather just get a used Darkglass pedal and know exactly what I'm getting. That said, Demon FX' tagline is extremely compelling: "Make a good product, so that everyone can use the good product" 🤡 Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Did these DarkGlass clones start appearing after Korg acquired them? Perhaps the manufacturing went to a lower end, cheaper factory where things get leaked? It does seem, bar the more fancy digital stuff that the core functionality and sound is there in these DarkGlass clones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if it was £25 and sounded half decent, or it was a clone of a £400+ pedal, but there's just not enough incentive for me to consider over the used, reliable, value retaining real thing.

It's a subtle delay but lovely and clear sounding ...for my needs out of many delays I've had in the past it's 👌. And like you say £30 can't be passed up on . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmettC Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Anyone tried the Cali 76 compressor? I've got an Origin Effects CB, I'd like another but I couldn't justify the cost. Is it worth the risk for £50? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I was looking but decided to just grab a Hyper Luminal 2nd hand instead. I think even if it sounded good i just wouldn't trust it at a gig or that its been particularly ethically produced! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamfist Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I bought the D7K last year. Unfortunately mine clipped noticeably on the clean signal (with passive J pickups) - which was really annoying. maybe mine was just faulty or maybe they are all like that. If it hadn't clipped on the clean it would have been a really nice pedal. Not the same as a Darkglass B7K, which I now have ..... again, but in the same ballpark. The Demon D7K had a slightly more old school sound I would say in comparison. Mine ended up in the bin though. It was no use with the clean clipping, I wouldn't sell it on and it wasn't worth sending all the way back to China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
