Great bass amp
I've been playing bass for a long time and this meets all the requirements that I ask for. What power it delivers! Great, clean and grungy tone with so much room to play with the sound as well it cuts through any mix if you have a good cabinet. Money well spent for me.

Worked good initially, then randomly glitches and now it just lightly flashes purple lights and won't power up. Not hot, no wiring issue... customer service at darkglass is ridiculous... looks like I got burned. Hope no one else is dealing with this

Versatile little amp, so far so good
I was able to dial in a sound that was indistinguishable to my ears from the sound of my tube amp with some compression and a light touch on the vintage microtubes side. And when I want to go with more modern dirt, no pedals needed. I've run it through the Darkglass 2x12 and a TCElectric 2x10 cabinet. Both sounded good, and way better than the TCElectric's built in amp. Totally digging it. ... show more

Awesome sounding
Built-in compressor is nice. Only thing missing is an output for a tuner or on board tuner.
