Darkglass Microtubes X

The Darkglass Electronics Microtubes X is a compact and powerful bass preamp that delivers versatile tone shaping and overdrive capabilities. Designed with the modern bassist in mind, it is a simple, cut-down version of one of Darkglass’ classic designs.

An intuitive format that contains brutality and clarity at the same time is what the B3K delivers. A defined and powerful overdrive, with a simple layout, it sets no boundaries or rules to unleash the desired tone.
