Product Description

The Microtubes B7K is the pedal that put Darkglass Electronics on the map, and ultimately revolutionised the bass world with its cutting-edge distorted sound. Darkglass' innovative bass preamps have been used on countless records over the last decade, and to celebrate the unit that started it all — they've has released this stealthy 10th Anniversary B7K!

Limited to just 400 units worldwide, this celebratory stompbox features a cool 'black obsidian' enclosure and textless icon-only engravings — all contained within a finely-crafted wooden box. Paying homage to a device that's now reached "modern classic" status, this collectable pedal is also "a tribute to every bass player that believed in the adventure of cutting into the mix, and a commendation for the incredible support and loyalty that we have received since our humble beginnings" — in Darkglass Electronics' own words.

Key Features

  • Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
  • Drive: Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
  • Blend: 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.
  • Grunt Switch: Sets the amount of low frequency content to saturate by selecting between three different bass boost levels before the clipping stage.
  • Attack Switch: Sets the amount of treble content to saturate: The "Boost" setting emphasises the treble content; extra clarity and presence. The "Flat" position leaves this register untouched while the "Cut" position will reduce the amount of high frequencies being saturated.
  • Low: +-12dB @ 100Hz
  • Low Mids: +-12dB @ 1kHz
  • Hi Mids: +-12dB @ 2.8kHz
  • Treble: +-12dB @ 5kHz
  • Direct Output: A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for running into PA systems or studio mixing consoles.
  • Dimensions: 94 x 120 x 46 mm (3.70 x 4.72 x 1.81 inches)

I needed something for a more gritty tone. Combine this with a sansamp and you’ve got the perfect sound for a metal bass!
