{"product_id":"darkglass-microtubes-b7k-v2-395203","title":"MICROTUBES B7K V2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Evolution Designed to Go Beyond the B3K\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Microtubes B7K carries forward the dynamic and impactful saturation signature associated with the B3K, while adding a more \"preamp\" approach thanks to a full EQ and more studio-oriented connectivity. The idea is simple: maintain the attack, definition, and playing feel typical of the Microtubes series, but with more tools to position the bass exactly where you want it in a band, recording, or sound system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Bassists and Contexts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bass overdrive pedal is aimed at both intermediate bassists and seasoned musicians who want a solid and consistent sound from one backline to another. It excels in styles where the bass must remain present and articulate: modern rock, metal, punk, prog, but also muscular funk and pop where a slight drive adds texture without muddying the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn live settings, the DI facilitates a direct output to the console while preserving your tone. In the studio, it becomes a \"ready-to-mix\" recording tool: you can blend a clear, well-defined signal with a denser saturated signal, while precisely adjusting the mids to prevent the bass from disappearing behind guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Switches, and Connectivity: A True Control Center\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe B7K offers a comprehensive control section designed to maintain low-end foundation while managing the amount of grit. The \u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e control allows you to mix the clean signal with the saturated signal: ideal for preserving transient impact and clarity when playing fingerstyle or with a pick. The \u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the saturation level, from a subtle \"edge\" to a richer overdrive. The \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the output volume to match or boost your pedalboard level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe onboard EQ includes \u003cstrong\u003eLow\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLow Mids\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHi Mids\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eTreble\u003c\/strong\u003e. Two frequency selection knobs make the mids very versatile: \u003cstrong\u003e500 Hz \/ 1 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e for presence and attack, and \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 kHz \/ 3 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e for definition, bite, and modern \"clank.\" The \u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGrunt\u003c\/strong\u003e switches allow you to adjust response and character, adapting the pedal to passive basses, active basses, vintage pickups, or modern humbuckers. The footswitch provides effect bypass with a clear \u003cstrong\u003eLED\u003c\/strong\u003e status indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor integration, there is a 6.35mm Jack input and output, a \u003cstrong\u003edirect output\u003c\/strong\u003e in stereo 6.35mm Jack format, and a \u003cstrong\u003eparallel output\u003c\/strong\u003e in 6.35mm Jack format, useful for feeding a second amp, tuner, or alternate signal path. A \u003cstrong\u003eGround Lift\u003c\/strong\u003e switch is included to help reduce hum issues depending on the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Microtubes B7K is known for a \u003cstrong\u003emodern, tight, and highly responsive\u003c\/strong\u003e saturation that respects playing dynamics and keeps the bass intelligible in a dense mix. The low end remains solid, while the mids can be sculpted to go from an organic \"growl\" to a more aggressive and cutting presence. With the Blend control, the pedal easily retains attack and dynamics even with high drive, making it particularly effective for fast lines, palm-muting with a pick, or parts that require impeccable definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt light settings, it delivers a \u003cstrong\u003egranular warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \"push\" feel close to a working preamp. Pushing the Drive and adjusting the mids yields a richer saturation with a top end capable of delivering a modern metal-style bite while maintaining a controlled low-end foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
