You wont see to many reviews on the DarkGlass because some wouldn't think of spending this kind of money on a pedal. My advice, if your serious about your playing dont think that way. Its worth saving for.
I don't want repeat what others said already, but I will echo its the best sounding distortion and outperforms every pedal I have and had period!
I'm fastidious with my tone. I have my clean sound I stick too but never really found a distortion tone (whether it was Tech21 or a multi effect pedal that simulates popular distortion pedals) that I could dial into and say, Yeah this is it! I bought the Aftershock pedal next and felt it would help me get that dirt tone I was looking for with all its options and software patches. It came close. IMO reading reviews carries more weight than watching video demos on pedals that are polished and made to look and sound great. Who would buy a pedal if it didn't sound good in a video? Darkglass is not cheap, alot of dudes don't even bother looking into it because of the price, as I did. But when I followed up on the Alpha/Omega, read the reviews, listen to demos and than plugged into one. Holy Shi-ola, I found that tone and it sounded pretty dam close to the video demo. Tech21 and the Aftershock are decent pedals. But If your want that tight, powerful, pro distorted tone that sounds real (not synthetic or noisy) with out sacrificing the bottom end, that sits in the pocket better, and makes you feel good playing? It maybe in the $300 dollar range and this IMO is it.. And worth every penny.
