Reviving the spirit of the first Darkglass design, the Darkglass Electronics Harmonic Booster is a clean bass preamp that masterfully manipulates harmonics and filtering. Its unique ability to sculpt the character and texture of a bass tone makes it an essential tool for any bassist.

This preamp is more than just a revival, it is a reinvention. Darkglass has infused this model with a decade's worth of experience and innovation, resulting in improvements in noise performance, headroom, and EQ flexibility. The Harmonic Booster is known for enhancing attack and presence, while shaping the mids for a percussive and aggressive character. This pedal can add life to your bass tone without losing punch or definition.

What sets this preamp apart is its unique tone-shaping Character control. At its minimum, it leaves your signal completely flat, giving you absolute control from subtle to extreme enhancement. Paired with a 3-band active EQ with a semi-parametric mid control, this pedal offers unparalleled tone shaping ability. While it is designed to perfectly complement Darkglass' distortion circuits, its flexibility and portability make it a one-stop solution for gigging musicians in search of a harmonically rich clean preamplifier.
