Darkglass Electronics Microtubes B3K V2
An intuitive format that contains brutality and clarity at the same time is what the Microtubes B3K delivers.
A defined and powerful overdrive, with a simple layout. It gives no limits and set no rules to unleash the desired tone.
What’s new in version 2?
With the Microtubes B3K v2 you get all the features of the original. This includes the ability to restore the mids for natural character.
The attack switch is replaced by the tone knob, giving much more control of the higher harmonic content (3 kHz to 8 kHz).
The grunt switch is still present, as you would expect. The addition comes in the form of a mid boost, giving you a subtle 6dB boost from 300 Hz to 1 kHz to help you cut through a bit more.
Fundamentally the Microtubes B3K is the same pedal from nearly a decade ago ,giving a perfect combination of brutality and clarity.
You can guarantee that this pedal will deliver defined and powerful saturation in an intuitive format.
“I’m completely blown away with the B3K.”
For such a small pedal, it produces a ridiculously massive sound! It has been a great tool for me to have in the studio, there is such a variety of tones you can achieve with it. Even when you drive it hard, the low end is still amazingly clear, which is exactly what I need!”
Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.
There is a video on the Darkgass website showing the B3K.
