{"product_id":"darkglass-vintage-ultra-v2-aux-395213","title":"VINTAGE ULTRA V2 AUX","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Direct\" Oriented Evolution in the Microtubes Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis V2 retains the DNA of Darkglass's modern overdrives: an articulate saturation capable of remaining clear even with high gain levels and lower tuning. The major addition compared to the first version is the enhanced \u003cstrong\u003espeaker simulation\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eimpulse response loading\u003c\/strong\u003e to tailor the tone to your setup (vintage-style cabinet, tight 8x10, punchier 4x10, etc.). The result: a pedal even more comfortable for \u003cstrong\u003eDI to console\u003c\/strong\u003e, recording, or in an \"ampless\" pedalboard setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Bassists and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Microtubes B7K Ultra V2 is aimed at bassists who want a \u003cstrong\u003epresent and mix-ready\u003c\/strong\u003e sound without relying on an amp: modern rock, metal, prog, hardcore, but also funk\/rock and pop whenever you want a bass that \"speaks\" in the mix. It suits both intermediate players seeking a simple and reliable tool (Blend, EQ, Master) and demanding bassists who fine-tune their mids to the hertz to fit between two guitars. Live, it can serve as a \u003cstrong\u003emain preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e to the front of house\u0026#59; in the studio, it's an excellent source to double a mic take with a controlled DI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Modes, and Connectivity: A True Sound Hub\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core sound is adjusted with \u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e (gain) and \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e, then you blend the mix with \u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e to retain the attack and fundamentals of the clean signal. The \u003cstrong\u003eMaster\u003c\/strong\u003e control manages the overall level, especially useful when switching between a solid clean sound and more aggressive saturation. The active EQ consists of \u003cstrong\u003eBass\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLo Mids\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHi Mids\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eTreble\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by frequency selectors: Lo Mids (250 Hz \/ 500 Hz \/ 1 kHz) and Hi Mids (750 Hz \/ 1.5 kHz \/ 3 kHz) to choose the exact area to scoop, thicken, or highlight the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo refine the character, the \u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGrunt\u003c\/strong\u003e switches allow you to adjust the feel of the response (sharper, thicker, tighter), while quick-access toggles provide \u003cstrong\u003eCab Sim\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGround Lift\u003c\/strong\u003e for a silent XLR output. For convenience, the pedal offers a \u003cstrong\u003e3.5mm headphone output\u003c\/strong\u003e (with speaker simulation), a \u003cstrong\u003e3.5mm auxiliary input\u003c\/strong\u003e for playing along with backing tracks, a \u003cstrong\u003emicro-USB B connection\u003c\/strong\u003e for IR management\/loading, and a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced XLR output\u003c\/strong\u003e with switchable speaker simulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pedal delivers a typically \"modern\" tone: firm lows, sculptable mids, and a high end that adds snap without harshness. The big advantage is \u003cstrong\u003eclarity\u003c\/strong\u003e: even with Drive engaged, notes remain defined, and the \u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e helps preserve the attack and dynamics of your playing (fingers, pick, slap). Depending on the mid settings, you can aim for a very tight and percussive sound (ideal for riffs and doubles) or a broader, more organic growl. With the Cab Sim\/IR, the direct output gains coherence: less \"dry\" than a raw DI, closer to a miked amp signal, perfect for recording and playing on stage without a cabinet.\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)
