Bass-head, 500 watts, Class-D power amp, solid-state preamp, microtubes distortion, 6-band graphic EQ, speaker simulation Bass amp with analog preamp, Microtubes distortion and Class-D power amp With the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2, the Finnish bass specialists give their extremely popular 500-watt top a well-deserved makeover, which includes an even more flexible sound design and expanded application possibilities on stage and in the recording studio. Accordingly, the bass amp, clad in black aluminium, offers a graphic 6-band EQ for the clean section, while the switchable Microtubes Engine comes as usual with two voicings and precise adjustment options. Thanks to the highly efficient Darkglass Class-D power amp, the compact and lightweight bass top has massive volume reserves. Last but not least, the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 is equipped with a balanced DI output and a headphone jack that deliver particularly natural sound experiences thanks to three selectable IR speaker simulations. In addition to the clean channel with a 6-band graphic equalizer, the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 features a Microtubes engine with the voicings of the popular B3K and MTV bass distortors.

The rear panel of the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 provides access to the DI-out, effects loop, aux-in and headphone jack as well as the three speaker simulations. Extensive connections and speaker simulation In addition, the Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 comes with extensive connections that equip the head for almost all situations on stage or in the recording studio. In addition to the serial effects loop, the practical head offers a balanced direct out for direct signal pickup on stage or in the recording studio. Furthermore, three impulse response-based speaker simulations are on board, which promise a particularly natural sound experience when using the DI-Out or headphone connection. The head also connects to the Dark Glass...
