An Accessory Designed to Harness the Microtubes DNA

The Microtubes series has become a benchmark for bassists who want to switch from a studio clean to a modern, dense, and articulated distortion without losing low-end foundation. The Super Intelligent Footswitch was designed as a natural extension of this philosophy: rather than altering your sound with extra pedals, it allows you to access key voicings built into the amp with your foot, including the signature VMT (rounder) and B3K (more aggressive) tones.

Who Is It For, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?

This footswitch is aimed at bassists who use their Microtubes 500 or 900 head as the core of their rig and want to seamlessly switch between textures without letting go of the neck: clean defined verse, warm-grain chorus, then a more cutting tone to cut through a wall of guitars.

It is especially relevant for rock, metal, punk, modern pop, but also fusion or funk when a controlled mild distortion is desired. On stage, the Mute simplifies life (tuning, silence between songs). In the studio, it speeds up takes by allowing quick comparisons of different drive characters at controlled levels.
