Douglas Castro first visited Finland as an exchange student in 2004 and quickly fell in love with the country. Upon returning to his native Chile, the young electrical engineer completed his studies and began making Darkglass bass pedals. Once he had sold enough to fund a flight back to Finland, he packed his bags and set off.
After a few weeks in his adopted home Castro met Matias Kupiainen, the guitarist for legendary Finnish power metal band Stratovarius. Kupiainen let Castro sleep at the studio he partly owned, and the musicians there helped Castro to test his designs. With a lot of detailed feedback and even more hard work, Darkglass Electronics was born in 2009.
The company now produces bass effect pedals, preamps, amplifiers and cabinets. Everything is hand-made in Finland to the highest standards and the company has never wavered from its vision of creating products purely for bass players. It's this determination that has set Darkglass Electronics apart in a crowded market, and has marked them as one of the most forward-thinking and customer-focussed brands in music today.
