You thought you’ve seen it all, but this brand new compressor is transforming your sound forever.

Darkglass already has a family of extraordinary bass gear, but we keep working hard to bring you creations meant to make your bass unique. “Designing new things and constantly challenging our beliefs of what’s possible can be very stressful and intense. But the harder a project is, the better” says Douglas Castro, founder of Darkglass about the exciting times for the Company. And just now, in the middle of an amazing 2015 for us, we proudly present you a creation design to keep you rocking: Super Symmetry 115 GeV Compressor is ready to go.

“There’s always a bit of anxiety, for sure” says Douglas about this new pedal release. “At the moment, if you come to our headquarters in Helsinki, you can feel a certain magic, a mystic vibe in the air… it means we care deeply about it, and that we don’t take our customers’ loyalty for granted”. A lot of hard work and ideas put in this compressor, which aims to find his own fans in just a few months.

And Douglas shares his own experience using it: “The Super Symmetry is everything I always wanted on a compressor” he states. “I always felt that compressors that messed too much with my character and, for the Super Symmetry we worked a lot in finding a happy middle ground: It offers all the transparency and precision modern compressors should, but the way it reacts, the envelope effect of it reminds me of some of my favorite all school compressor!”. A rich sound that goes with a great look: A gorgeous LED meter and the most elegant industrial design.

What’s the main objective? Keep the bass enthusiasts happy: “I believe that when you can think and feel like your customers, you can create exciting, new things that they might not yet know they want or need!”. And all the perfectionist musicians who care about every single detail and artists that want the best, you are already invited to try our new gear, available for a late August/mid-September release.

With our fifth anniversary just around the corner and recently coming out of our Thunder Showcase in New York, you certainly thought we would keep it low. But Darkglass wants you to sound better every time: “The response and support we feel from musicians all around the world certainly fuels our drive to do these difficult things” shares Douglas. “I like to think that the harder the challenge, the happier and more surprised our customers will be when it’s ready”.
