Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 Solid-State Bass Amplifier
The Microtubes 500v2 is a 500W amplifier equipped with an all-analog preamplifier, custom-designed Darkglass high-efficiency class D Module, an ultra-quiet graphic equalizer, and a digital impulse-response cabinet emulator for DI outputs or headphones.
Main functions:
Passive/Active
Use this push-button switch to change from passive to active mode. If your bass is active it can have a hotter signal making the amp to distort early (feel free to use if such additional distortion is desired).
Microtubes
Use this push button to turn on or off the Microtubes Engine to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage.
Drive
This knob controls the amount of distortion that the Microtubes Engine will deliver. It will change from a soft warm overdrive to a massive modern distortion sound.
Blend
Use this knob to mix between the Clean signal and the DIstortion signal (Microtubes Engine).
Tone
This knob controls the high harmonic content of the Microtubes Engine via a variable low pass filter: crank it up for additional attack and definition or dim it down for a smoother sound, especially handy if already running bright clean EQ setting or cabinets with tweeters.
B3K/VMT
This push-button switch selects between two overdrive voicings: B3K® mode will deliver an aggressive, percussive sound while the VMT will bring up the mids for a warmer, more neutral character.
Power: 500 W
With power up to 500 W , you get plenty of headroom for impressive volume and dynamics whether you're in the studio, at home, or partying.
Number of Channels: 1
This product offers a single channel, making it easy to connect and manage a single audio source. Ideal for simple recording or playback where minimal configuration is required.
External FX Loop: Yes
The Effect Loop makes it easy to connect external effects. This feature provides the ability to add and edit various sound effects without affecting the underlying signal. It's a great solution for musicians and sound engineers who need more flexibility and creativity in sound processing.
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
Footswitch Input Port: Yes
It has a footswitch input that allows you to control various functions of the unit without using your hands. With this feature, you can easily switch effects, channels, or other settings while playing, which is ideal for live performances and smooth control without interrupting your game.
Compressor: Yes
Equipped with a compressor that automatically equalizes sound levels for a smoother and more balanced output. The compressor helps eliminate unwanted volume fluctuations and provides professional sound quality.

Equipped with a DI output that allows direct and balanced transfer of the audio signal to mixers or recording devices without loss of quality. This output minimizes noise and interference, making it ideal for professional environments where it is important to maintain a clean and strong signal over extended connections.
