Darkglass Electronics is a Finnish manufacturer of effect pedals and amplifiers for bass guitar. The company was founded in 2009 in Helsinki by Chileans Douglas Castro and Hugo Villarroel, with Castro remaining in Finland as CEO and Villarroel returning to Chile and handling sales and artist relations. The company derived its name from the username Castro had previously used to upload his progressive metal recordings to online forums. Darkglass quickly became a prominent brand in the bass guitar equipment market behind an initial product line that focused on distortion pedals like the Microtubes B3K and Microtubes Vintage. In 2022, Darkglass was bought by Korg, while Castro left to focus on his amp modeling company Neural DSP.
