Quoted in the Bondeo article (in German) translated below:
“Charles - how do you make your distorted bass sound on stage so that it doesn't smear everything?”
“Two channels – that's the only way. And an absolutely amazing distortion pedal from Finnish company Darkglass Electronics called B3K. It's perfect because it only distorts the high frequency components and dynamically distorts depending on the game.”

Charles is also listed as an artist on “http://www.darkglass.com/artists” and talked about the pedal in this article [since removed] https://www.darkglass.com/2015/06/charles-cave-from-white-lies/
Which is quoted on the listing for the pedal at Bass Center:
“The B3K just makes the basic tone of my bass so great and adds a really perfect, small amount of very treble-heavy overdrive”
