"It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it." That's what Darkglass say about their compact B1K pedal! Packing the legendary bass distortion circuit for which they are known into a portable, functional and pedalboard-friendly form-factor — the no-frills B1K delivers massive gain tones despite its small proportions.

Simple, tactile controls allow you to dial-in a variety of inspiring overdrive flavours. The dual-concentric 'Drive' and 'Level' knobs on the face of the pedal have a wide sonic range, while internally, you have 'Tone' and 'Blend' trim-pots which provide you with ample control over the distortion EQ and the balance between your clean signal and the overdrive.

Controls

  • Level (front): Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
  • Drive (front): Adjusts the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
  • Blend (back): Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal is fixed at unity gain, while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio. Turn clockwise to blend in the clean signal.
  • Tone (back): Controls the high frequency content of the sound. A variable low pass filter from 3 kHz to 8 kHz. Turn CCW for a brighter sound.
  • MBoost (back): Gives a subtle 6 dB boost from 300 Hz to 1 kHz to help you cut through the mix.
  • Grunt (back): Provides a low-end boost to massively thicken your sound when engaged.

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.
