Why it matters
It launched on 24 April 2026 and replaces the 2018 Darkglass Ultra plug-in with a fuller platform: two preamps, a compressor, auto-wah, octaver and fuzz before the amp, chorus and delay after it, plus DG210C 2x10 and DG810ES 8x10 cab sims and a 9-band graphic EQ. Existing Darkglass Ultra owners get a free update path. It is desktop only, with no Quad Cortex support, and costs €99 direct from Neural DSP in September 2026.
