A Controller Designed to Harness the "Microtubes" DNA
With the Microtubes series, Darkglass has translated the spirit of its most iconic saturations into an amp head. This Super Intelligent Footswitch was developed to make these tones immediately accessible in real situations: a precise and versatile Clean channel, two drive voicings inspired by the Vintage Microtubes (VMT) and Microtubes B3K signatures, and a dedicated Mute to cut the amp with one press.
Who Is It For, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?
This control pedalboard is aimed at bassists who play live or in rehearsal and want to chain song sections without compromise: verse with articulated clean, chorus with warm and present drive, or a passage with more aggressive and punchy distortion.
It is particularly relevant for styles where the bass must change roles on the fly: rock, metal, punk, alternative, but also modern pop and funk when you want to add controlled grit. In the studio, it facilitates quick takes by comparing the Clean, VMT, and B3K characters without adjusting settings during recording.
