Product Description
The Darkglass Intelligent Footswitch in Black is a compact, rugged controller designed specifically for Darkglass Microtubes 500 and Microtubes 900 amplifiers. With a single, multi-function switch and clear status indication, it gives you instant control of the Microtubes Engine and amplifier mute, all via a simple 1/4" cable connection.
Built around a dedicated microcontroller and proprietary communication protocol, the Intelligent Footswitch offers precise, reliable operation with minimal stage footprint. Whether you are engaging your drive for a chorus or muting silently for tuning, it keeps your focus on playing rather than tap dancing on a crowded pedalboard.
Streamlined Control for Darkglass Heads
The Intelligent Footswitch is purpose-built to work with Darkglass Microtubes 500 and Microtubes 900 amplifiers, giving you direct access to key functions without menus or complex setups. One tap engages or disengages the Microtubes Engine, while a long press mutes the amp, making it ideal for live use where fast, confident switching is essential.
Simple 1/4" Cable Connection
Connection to your amplifier is via a standard 1/4" cable, so integrating the Intelligent Footswitch into your rig is quick and straightforward. There is no need for special multi-pin leads or external power supplies, helping to keep your setup clean and reliable on stage and in the studio.
Clear Power and Status Indication
The Intelligent Footswitch features a dedicated Power On indication to confirm that it is correctly powered and communicating with your amplifier. This visual feedback gives you confidence that your switching commands are being received, reducing the risk of surprises mid-song.
Compact, Road-Ready Design
With its small footprint and solid construction, the Intelligent Footswitch fits easily onto any pedalboard or stage setup. Its low weight and compact dimensions make it highly portable, while still offering the durability required for regular gigging and rehearsals.
Features
- Dedicated Microtubes Engine Control - A single tap on the Intelligent Footswitch engages or disengages the Microtubes Engine, allowing you to switch between clean and driven tones instantly. This gives you hands-free access to your amp’s core sound-shaping feature, perfect for dynamic changes within a set.
- Long-Press Mute Function - Holding the footswitch for three seconds mutes the amplifier, providing a fast, silent way to tune or change instruments. This helps keep your signal path clean between songs and avoids unwanted noise reaching the audience.
- Proprietary Communication Protocol - The built-in microcontroller communicates with compatible Darkglass heads using a proprietary protocol, ensuring accurate, responsive switching. This tight integration is designed to deliver dependable performance every time you step on the switch.
- Standard 1/4" Connection and Power Indication - Using a regular 1/4" cable for connection makes setup fast and familiar, while the Power On indication confirms that the footswitch is correctly connected to the amplifier’s footswitch port. This combination keeps your rig simple and helps avoid connection issues on stage.
