The Darkglass Microtubes v2 bass amplifier head takes the acclaimed Microtubes amp to a new level of versatility. In addition to the renowned Microtubes overdrive/distortion engine, Microtubes v2 adds a studio-quality VCA compressor, flexible six-band graphic EQ, and the ability to store three IR cabinet simulation presets for lifelike direct performance and recording. All this combined with 900 watts of amplification makes the Darkglass Microtubes v2 bass amplifier head a comprehensive solution for both stage and studio. This incarnation of the Microtubes 900 v2 is adorned with Euryale (Medusa's sister) artwork by artist Christopher Lovell, which merges the apocalyptic Mad Max wasteland with the mythology of Medusa.
Well-equipped for direct recording and performance
While it does offer an impressive 900 watts to push some serious air through a speaker cabinet, the Darkglass Microtubes v2 amp head has everything you need for outstanding direct tones too. It has memory for up to three IR cabinet sims, and you can upload your own via USB. You also have your choice of pre- and post-processing DI outputs, allowing you to choose how much the Microtubes v2 shapes your tone.
Ample connectivity options for any type of bass rig
The Darkglass Microtubes v2 has the flexibility you need to integrate with practically any bass rig. Dual speaker outputs offer 1/4" or speakON connectivity. A send/return loop makes it easy to integrate pedals and other effects processors. You can even optimize the Microtubes v2's performance for any type of bass pickups, thanks to its passive/active input mode selector.
Your ideal practice companion
Whether you're waiting backstage before a performance or waiting for your turn in the studio, we know it pays to stay warmed up on your instrument. The Microtubes v2 features an 1/8" aux input for your smartphone, and a headphone output with its own volume control.
