With the Darkglass Microtubes B7K Ultra, the effects manufacturer from Helsinki gives the bass player the ultimate tool for creating a modern bass sound! Equipped with a separately switchable distortion section including grunt and attack switches, a 4-band tone control with semi-parametric mid-bands and a symmetrical direct output, the analog bass preamp offers the full range of features!
Last but not least, the Darkglass Microtubes B7K v2 is optimally equipped in terms of connection technology for use on stage and in the recording studio. The bass signal can easily be passed on to a mixer, interface or recording device via the balanced DI output in XLR format. The ground lift switch interrupts unwanted ground loops. The parallel output also enables the unprocessed input signal to be passed on to other amplifiers or effects chains!
New on board: an aux-in for playing backing tracks or play-alongs!
