900 watt bass amp with graphic EQ, microtubes distortion and artwork by artist Christopher Lovell
The Darkglass Electronics Microtubes 900 v2 Euryale Limited Edition is a revised version of the popular bass amp from Finland that not only impresses with its well-known versatile sound of the highest quality, but also with an extensive range of connection peripherals that make it the ideal bass amp for stage and recording studio. Accordingly, the amplifier in the black aluminum chassis, which gives the gloomy "Euryale" artwork of British artist Christopher Lovell the final touch, offers a particularly variable analog preamplifier, which in addition to the clean section with 6-band EQ and compressor also provides a Microtubes engine with the overdrive voicings of the B3K and Microtubes Vintage pedals. The 900 watts of power of the Class-D amplifier promise rich volume reserves at the bass cabinets that can be connected via two combo jacks. Last but not least, the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 is equipped with pre- and post-DI outputs for direct recording, a headphone jack, a speaker simulation and a USB port.
To customize the sound, the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 offers not only a 6-band graphic EQ, but also the Microtubes Engine for juicy overdrives and a compressor.
Variable Clean Section with 6-Band Graphic EQ
The heart of the revised Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 is the especially variable Preamp in analog circuitry, which consists of the clean section and the Microtubes Engine. Here the clean channel convinces with a particularly transparent reproduction, which brings the character of the used Basses and the player unadulteratedly to hearing. At the same time, the 6-band graphic equalizer allows for a particularly precise adjustment of the sound character, while the integrated one knob compressor supports an evenly fat sound experience if desired.
Stage-ready with 900 watt power amp
For stage-ready volume reserves, the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 Head is equipped with a mighty powerhouse in the form of a Class D power amp. Despite the transport-friendly dimensions of the weight of 2.9 kg, this delivers a whopping 900 watts of power, making every note of the marrow-shaking sound palpable in the pit of your stomach and making the earth shake. So that the enormous power arrives safely at the bass box, the Darkglass Microtubes Bass-Head is equipped with two combo jacks.
Overdrive thanks to Microtubes Engine
Switched in front of the Clean section, the Microtubes Engine impresses with the voicings of the popular Darkglass Microtubes B3K and Microtubes Vintage effect pedals. When activated, you'll get a wide range of great overdrive sounds, from subtle crunch to midrange-emphasizing vintage drive to brute distortion for modern metal. To maintain definition and punch in the low frequencies, the Clean signal can be mixed in continuously.
Extensive connections and speaker simulation
With its extensive and innovative connection periphery, the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 furthermore proves to be the optimal sound center for live gigs and recording sessions. In addition to the pre-DI connection, which outputs the unprocessed input signal in balanced form, there is also a balanced post-DI connection, which taps the signal behind the sound-shaping elements. In addition, there is a headphone jack with its own volume control for silent playback Bass. A special feature is furthermore the integrated speaker simulation based on Impulse Responses (IRs), which is available post-DI and headphone connection and guarantees a particularly natural sound experience even without a connected speaker. Last but not least, the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 makes contact with the Darkglass Software Suite via the USB port, through which speaker simulation and compressor can be extensively adjusted.
On the top side the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 carries the
Intelligent Footswitch and MIDI
To control the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2, a MIDI jack and a footswitch connection are also provided. Already included, the Darkglass Intelligent Footswitch allows you to switch on the Microtubes Engine and mute the bass amp with just one switch.
