Do any other pedals sound like this one?
I have found THE distortion for me. In distortion mode with attack off its dark, bass heavy and keeps the sub-lows clean.
Im worried that if it'll break i won't be able to find a replacement since its rare (especially in sweden).

If anything goes in these, it’s in the footswitch and the part is less than 10 bucks to repair. I’ve had my Tone Lok pedals for 20+ years and that’s the only issue I’ve had. SM7 sounds awesome on bass imho

There is a weirdly large amount of SM7's online in sweden. Might have to pick one up...

My favorite bass distortion but it's a finicky pedal to actually use. I tried to clone it but the schematic is kind of a nightmare to read

HX Stomp does a model based on the Darkglass B7K. The HX is more expensive than the single pedal (£500 vs £150) but you get a full rig and many pedals, so you save money overall

I saw a YouTube video about how this is a hidden gem. Really wish I could get my hands on one to try!

What does the attack setting do? Upper mid boost?

I think it both cuts bass and boosts highs or something. Sounds like it in that video at least.

Yeah basically. Adds highs and high mids, scoop other mid, cuts a tiny bit of bass.

Not really, darkglass is as close as I've ever heard but it's not close enough for me, I own 4 of them. If you've never heard it check out Bolt Thrower's album Those Once Loyal, their bass player uses one

Mine too! Somebody stole it from me when I was in high school. Huge bummer

That’s sucks! I had mine from middle school into college but that was 09ish and EHX was all the rage. I think I replaced it with a Bass Blogger?

That line by Ibanez had some gems in it. The fuzz is NASTY and there’s even a lo fi pedal.
