A Modern Bass Distortion: More Control, More Clarity
On a bass, a "classic" distortion can quickly compress the low end, blur notes, and make playing less clear in a mix. The approach here is more modern: the spectrum is shaped with dedicated filters and levels, then refined with a graphic equalizer. The result: a dense and expressive saturated sound that maintains definition on attacks and solidity on fundamentals.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This pedal is aimed at bassists who want to go from a slight bite to a fully embraced distortion while staying in control of the low end. It suits both intermediate and advanced players looking for "mix-ready" saturation.
Ideal for rock, punk, metal, stoner, hardcore, but also for electro/industrial or modern pop when a more present bass is desired. In live settings, the direct XLR output simplifies sending the signal to the console; in the studio, the multiple outputs allow exploring clean/saturated takes and blends.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Darkglass Microtubes X7 retain bass frequencies with distortion?
The bass section features a variable low-pass filter from 50 to 500 Hz, a Low Comp control, and a Low Level adjustment. This setup ensures a controlled bass foundation during saturation.
How to adjust the attack and saturation texture?
A variable high-pass filter from 100 to 1000 Hz defines the spectral area dedicated to attack and texture. The High Drive and High Level controls then allow shaping the saturation amount and its level.
Can the pedal be connected directly to a mixing console?
The XLR direct output enables connection to a console or recording interface. Additionally, there are two 6.35 mm jack outputs and one parallel 6.35 mm jack output for integration into a pedalboard or a separate signal chain.
What music styles suit this bass distortion?
This pedal is suitable for rock, punk, metal, stoner, and hardcore genres. Its 4-band graphic equalizer also allows adjusting bass presence for electro, industrial, or modern pop contexts.
What power supply is required for the Microtubes X7?
The required power supply is 9 V DC.
