A Microtubes "X": Modern Dynamics Serving Tone

The Microtubes X Ultra follows in the footsteps of the Microtubes X7 by pushing even further a simple and highly effective idea: treating the bass as a wideband instrument, with lows that remain firm and controlled while the mids/highs take on character and attack. This "multiband" approach keeps the low end clean and punchy without sacrificing bite, presence, and clarity in a dense mix.

Result: a tool tailored for modern sounds, where precision and low-end tightness matter as much as the personality of the saturation.

For Which Bassists and Contexts?

The Microtubes X Ultra is aimed at bassists who want a sculpted and immediately usable sound, both live and in recording. It is perfectly suited to styles where articulation is crucial (modern rock, metal, prog, heavy pop, fusion), but it can also provide a controlled grit for more subtle tones whenever you seek defined saturation rather than just a harmonic "fog."

Thanks to the symmetrical XLR direct output and switchable cabinet simulation, it integrates naturally on a pedalboard, front of house, in an audio interface, or in an "amp-less" solution. For home practice, the headphone section and auxiliary input turn the pedal into a true practice station.

Questions frequently asked

Is the DARKGLASS Microtubes X Ultra suitable for low-tuned basses?

Its multiband processing allows the lows to stay tight while the mids and highs receive compression and saturation. This design promotes note clarity for fast playing or low tuning.

Can this pedal be connected directly to a mixing console?

The balanced XLR direct output enables connection to a mixing console or audio interface. The cabinet simulation is switchable on this output and can load impulse responses via the Micro USB B port.

How does the cabinet simulation work on the XLR output?

The Cab Sim switch enables or disables the cabinet simulation only on the XLR direct output. When disabled, digital circuits are fully bypassed to provide a signal without latency.

Is it possible to practice with headphones using a backing track?

A stereo 3.5 mm Aux In mini-jack input allows playback of backing tracks to the headphone output. The internal headphone amplifier supports a minimum impedance of 16 ohms. The auxiliary input level is controlled from the audio source.
