What makes it super?

With the Dark Fire, Gibson took the self-tuning Robot functionality and the HD.6-X Pro computer connectivity and merged them to create what was, in 2009, "the world's most powerful analogue and digital guitar," despite some problems with the initial production run.

The Master Control Knob (MCK) - an ultra-sophisticated pull/push knob with a multi-coloured illuminated display - sits at the heart of the Dark Fire’s seemingly endless capabilities. Chameleon Tone technology, second-generation Robot tuning with motorised machineheads and a Robot Interface Pack for seamless computer connectivity are just the tip of the iceberg - hit up the review for a video overview.
