- This is more than a pedal (although, yes, it is also a pedal): it is the genesis of an unmistakable sound, the singular vision of a person which would go on to become the seed of a company that has changed the sound of modern rock and metal bass.
The B3K was the first pedal Douglas Castro made, and the reception he got from his friends gave him the encouragement to continue building and creating. Eventually he would found Darkglass Electronics...and now you know the rest of the story.
Let's take a tour of the pedal that launched a thousand djents.

set next to my girlfriend watching the Eras tour till i suddenly spotted you on stage!
Really appreciated the humorous but effective instructions in the demo ... but also the “back in the day “ photos 😆
o, the ravages of time...
B7K and B7K Ultra (the one I own) next please! Despite there being many reviews of this classic line already out there, I need to hear your take. Your reviews are simply more thorough and your explanations of the controls are always very specific and helpful. As always, very well done! Hope your summer is going well!
Thanks so much. They may indeed be out there somewhere in the Internet Future...
wow. I've never understood this pedal before. great explanations! seems like the smallest version still packs a punch! didn't know it behaved differently from what you expect.
It does! And still close enough to what you’re used to to get where you need to go-just not the way you’d expect.
Love your style of reviewing pedals, great playing and cool riffs.
Yet another awesome review! I love how in-depth your videos are while making it easy to follow along. You make reviews fun, easy, and enjoyable to watch -many channels need to learn from your example. Please keep bringing more content! 👊🏼
That’s the plan! Thanks for the kind words!
My best pedal
i feel i have binged a significant amount of your content because its really good and informative
I've only had this pedal for 2 months now and absolutely love it. Great review!
Just came here from your darkray review... instant subscribe! Love the detail in explaining and showing the wide range of sounds from this pedal and others you have reviewed! great work
Heck yeah! Thanks! Appreciated. Welcome to the team. Everyone say hi Eric!
Awesome demo, as usual. I'd be very interested to see your take on another one of Darkglass classic pedals - Vintage Microtubes. Love it already, but always good to learn something new from the pro.
I think we can count on that in the future. :)
These are the best Darkglass videos.
That’s third sound sample is so good
Thanks Bass Man!
Killer video, as usual!
Thanks for stopping by!
great video, makes me want to buy the pedal to "thread the needle in the mix" as a (fuzz) Bass player
Kepp' em coming!!
Great demo!!
Hey, this is a GREAT review - THANKS! LOVE the Darkglass stuff but I'm STILL not understanding the relationship of the DRIVE, LEVEL and BLEND controls on this particular pedal - the DRIVE knob determines the amount of drive, the LEVEL knob determines the amount of the drive signal being sent to the BLEND knob, and the BLEND knob feeds the DRIVE coming through LEVEL knob into the CLEAN sound, which is always at unity gain?
Awesome video! Were the sounds just from the bass an the pedal, or there was also an amp? Thanks
Hi Amos, I doubt you'll see this but if you do I'd love a reply. As someone who owns the B7kU I'm curious how you feel about the mid boost button and tone knob compared to the attack switch of the B7k
I’ve got a B7K Ultra. I dig it but sometimes I feel like I’m constantly trying to get a “warm” sound out of it. Maybe a demo of that?
Great question! I'll be shooting for that in B7k demo 🤘🏽
Challenge accepted
I wish someone would do a guitar demo 😭😭😭
I really don't understand why the level controls only the dirty signal. What situation would that be preferable to having a master volume control, since you can already control how much dry or dirty signal you want? Having a master volume would accomplish the same thing and even morem. Can you explain what the benefit is?
I was looking to see if you have any of your darkglass pedals left to sale?
👍
No one reviews like you! Please do more tutorials/teaching and you'll have a gazillion followers. Or at least you deserve to have.... :-)
Thank you Anders! I’m planning lots more.
What’s is your signal chain here? Sounds great.
Thanks! B3K-Noble Bass Pre-Universal Audio Apollo Twin with a bit of compression
Amos ,which do you prefer? B7k ultra or alpha Omega ultra ?
Doug should have you on the website
Kind of you to say! Thanks
@@AmosHeller very welcome dude.
If you place a compressor in front, the pedal no longer sounds as in this video.
What compressor are you using?
Sure it does. Actually, I can get more defined "crunch" out of this guy with compression in front.
Next time. Use in a metal mix?
You can go to metal bass demo #8, #57 and #132 or any inbetween if you wanna hear the B3K in a metal mix. The pedal is extremely flexible and it is really nice at a low gain - I'm hoping more than just BROOTAL METAL guys get into it.
Rick & Morty just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Isn't it freakin' great?
Worlds worst pedal demo. Why on earth would you put ridiculous muzak drum machine mixed above the pedal. Not to mention stop talking just play the gear.
"Worlds worst"...hyperbole much??
Oddly, there is no content on YOUR page so that we could all benefit by learning what an expert like yourself might create.
I don't think I have much content on my page either, but I'm not going around (metaphorically) taking a dump on people's doorstep.
