Here's what Darkglass have to say about the Vintage Deluxe V3:

The Vintage series of pedals from Darkglass are perfect for those players who want that classic, warm and tube-like overdriven bass tone that is so familiar in many styles of music from the past five decades.
 
The Vintage Deluxe takes the same great and highly sought-after tone circuit from the Vintage Microtubes pedal, then adds a 4-band active EQ, parallel output and a balanced line driver (DI), while the additional Grunt and Attack switches sit right before the clipping stage and boosts the low and high end respectively, right before your signal heads into the drive section. This adds additional levels of saturation and/or emphasis for even more tonal variation.

For the latest Vintage Deluxe V3 version, we wanted to simply add a couple of very useful extra features for tone shaping:

  • Low mid frequency switch: the "Lo Mid" control now has a dedicated switch to shift its corner frequency one octave. So in addition to the standard 1kHz,  users now get 12dB of cut/boost at 500Hz.
  • High mid frequency switch: the "Hi Mid" control now has a dedicated switch to shift its corner frequency one octave. So in addition to the standard 3kHz, users now get 12dB of cut/boost at 1.5kHz.

With these new V3 features added to the Deluxe model, you really have as much control as you will ever need to get amazing bass tones and the pedal really does deliver the natural dynamic response and organic compression of classic tube amps and tape machines, fitting five decades of legendary tones into a package that will fit right into your gig bag.

Features:

  • Vintage Microtubes classic overdrive circuit  
  • Attack and Grunt frequency emphasis switches 
  • Clean to Distortion Blend control
  • 4 Band EQ, 4 selectable mid points
  • Parallel output
  • Balanced XLR output
  • Switchable ground lift
  • Input impedance: 1M Ohm
  • Output impedance: 1k Ohm
  • Powered by optional 9V PSU (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~30mA current draw)

Deluxe

A deluxe guitar might have higher-quality pickups, special finishes, or finer craftsmanship, while a deluxe edition of an album could include bonus tracks or special packaging. The word suggests something that’s a step above the basic.

Guitar FX

Guitar FX (effects) refer to the wide range of pedals and processors that shape and manipulate a guitar’s signal to create different sounds. From classic distortion and overdrive to reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch-shifting, effects are at the heart of a guitarist’s creative toolkit. Whether analogue or digital, stompbox or multi-effects unit, Guitar FX allow players to express mood, texture, and dynamics in unique ways. Used thoughtfully, they can transform a simple riff into something atmospheric, aggressive, or entirely otherworldly.

pedal

A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.

Vintage

A vintage guitar is a guitar that is considered to be of significant age, typically over 30 years old, and often possesses historical, cultural, or collector’s value. Vintage guitars are highly sought after by collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, tone, playability, and historical significance.

Vintage guitars can come from various eras, each with its own unique characteristics and desirability.

Vintage guitars often exhibit signs of wear and aging, which can add to their character and authenticity. However, originality, condition, and provenance are crucial factors that determine the value of a vintage guitar. Well-maintained and all-original vintage guitars with documented history and provenance tend to command higher prices on the collector’s market.

While vintage guitars can be valuable investments, they are also cherished for their playability and the unique sonic characteristics they offer. Many musicians prefer vintage instruments for their mojo, vibe, and connection to music history.
