Product Description

Boutique pedal company Darkglass have solved how to balance attack, tightness and fat bass guitar distortion with the Microtubes X7.

They’ve found a unique way to solve the usual dilemma of sacrificing either high or low-end for a punchy sound. The Microtubes X7 multiband pedal makes it easy to obtain a great modern tone in a pedalboard-conscious format. 

Features

Two variable low and high-pass filters at the beginning of the signal chain split the audio signal. Most mids and treble frequencies are distorted using common CMOS circuitry. This grants complete control over the richness, attack and crunch. 

The lows are completely passed through, so they remain undistorted and free from tinny fuzz. You’re able to add huge weight to your tone whilst keeping it tight. 

Compression and EQ

The Microtubes X7 takes tone control even further. A four-band EQ lets you sculpt your sound with absolute precision. 

In-built compression adds another parameter to the mix. The clean low frequencies are fed into the compressor for extensive bass shaping. This leaves high frequencies full of natural harmonics.
