    I wish darkglass would add more unique products rather than rehashing the same 3 drives repeatedly- that being said these seem cool :)

    • @Paajanenae
      @Paajanenae  2 года назад +4

      I totally understand! They did release the e500 within a year though, so I guess something totally new every year would be quite a hefty task :) I'd be curious to see what more they could do, but then again their drives do really cover a lot of ground already...

    As usual, darkglass is suprising us with a "Bomb of a AMP" i can fit it in to my pockets. Glad you are getting stuff from them, hoping for mighty Dingwall to give you new basses for test when they come out ( budget Super J and PB)

      Thank you! Yeah it's been super cool working with them, I really enjoy getting tones out of different gear. I've been in talks with a few other companies, we'll see what actually goes through :) Working with Dingwall would be the greatest, but I guess my viewcounts aren't quite there yet xD

    These look cool, but how much do they cost? Reserving full judgment until I see a price tag.

      Thank you! Price should be around 500 dollars in the US and around 540€ in Europe.

    Good review, thanks a lot. Did you miss the compression that is available on the other 500 and 900 models? Thanks.

    • @Paajanenae
      @Paajanenae  2 года назад +1

      Thank you! I did not miss the compression when I tried these with no pedals, the intro has quite heavy compression from the Super Symmetry. That being said, in the two pedalless clips I drove the amps pretty hard which results in a lot of natural compression (from the distortion).

  • @kevinkwmiller
    @kevinkwmiller 2 года назад +3

    Nice review. Killer tune. I prefer my music heavy, but I’d also like to hear them A/B’d leveled and clean for when you need to do something softer or more classic.

    What does wattage have to do with Loudness?

      Not a lot, but it's a common misconception 😄

    • @Jihadbearzwithgunz
      @Jihadbearzwithgunz 2 года назад

      Nothing specially since with a 4 ohm load you won't get the full 200 watts these are rates 200 watts at 3 ohms so at 4 ohms it would be like 150-160 watts for 500 dollars I'mma pass my tc electronics bam 200 doesn't have this issue. And has an input gain knob which for me is needed.

      This cab seen in the intro was a Marshall 1982A 16 Ohm, but what you hear is an IR I regularly use. Any 410 cab would be a great match, why not even some 212s as well.

      I guess what I was trying to say was that for some reason I didn't really miss a dial for the 80-1000hz region. In my experience thats also a region I seldom do anything in post, apart from a slight cut around the 250-300 to fit it better into a cover mix which usually already have a bass track under mine. 😄

    No way to tell how loud they are in this context. I’m assuming that the power rating is 200 watts @4 ohms.
    Most cabinets are rated at 8ohms. You’re probably only putting out 100 watts @ 8 ohms.
    If you’re playing metal good luck with that!
    Aren’t you guys all using IEMs anyway?
