The Darkglass Element is a practical headphone amplifier for guitarists and bassists that turns out to be the ideal tool for practicing, rehearsing, recording or monitoring. Accordingly, high-quality loudspeaker simulations based on impulse responses convey a particularly natural playing feel, whether you play with your own pedal board, with modelers or at the direct-out of an amplifier. While the USB-C connection allows you to load your own impulse responses, backing tracks can be played back via Bluetooth or the Aux-In socket. The headphone amplifier also provides a balanced XLR output for direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces. Another highlight of the Darkglass Element is the intuitive operation via touch sensors .
