Darkglass

Darkglass Electronics emerged in the early 2010s, quickly establishing itself as a leading innovator in bass amplification and effects. Initially known for their aggressive distortion pedals, Darkglass expanded rapidly to encompass a comprehensive range of bass amplifiers, cabinets, and multi-effects units, all characterized by their signature powerful, modern tone. The brand has become synonymous with deep, articulate low-end and a distinctly 'Darkglass' sonic signature.
