A Classic Darkglass Revisited: The Microtubes DNA in a Compact Format

The Microtubes B1K is a direct tribute to one of Darkglass's most iconic distortion circuits. The idea is clear: to capture that modern, precise, and aggressive signature in a smaller, easier-to-handle pedal. It introduces a new "mini" approach at Darkglass, focused on efficiency in real-world conditions (studio, rehearsal, touring) while maintaining the robustness and build quality that have made the brand renowned.

Who Is the Microtubes B1K For?

The Darkglass Microtubes B1K is aimed at bassists seeking a modern overdrive/distortion capable of going from light dynamic crunch to denser saturation without sacrificing low-end foundation. It suits both intermediate players (simple front-panel controls) and advanced musicians who like to fine-tune their sound (internal settings). Perfect for rock, punk, metal, prog, and any situation where the bass needs to remain clear in a busy mix.
