Darkglass Electronics Microtubes B3K v2 Bass Guitar Overdrive Pedal

Get The Perfect Mix Of Brutality And Clarity – The Microtubes B3K v2 Bass Guitar Overdrive Pedal

All the features of the original, plus the ability to restore the mids for a more natural character. You can guarantee that this pedal will deliver defined and powerful saturation in an intuitive format.

WHAT’S NEW?

The attack switch has been replaced by the tone knob, giving much more control of the higher harmonic content (3 kHz to 8 kHz). The grunt switch is still present, as you would expect, and there is now a mid boost, giving you a “subtle” 6dB boost from 300 Hz to 1 kHz to help you cut through. 

Fundamentally, the Microtubes B3K is the very same pedal designed nearly a decade ago, aimed to give you that perfect combination of brutality and clarity. 

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.

TONE

Controls the high frequency content of the sound. A variable low pass filter from 3kHz (ccw) to 8kHz (cw).

LEVEL

Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.

DRIVE

Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.

GRUNT

When engaged provides a massive low end boost to really thicken your sound.

MID BOOST

Gives a subtle 6dB boost from 300 Hz to 1kHz to help you cut through a bit more.

DIMENSIONS

11.3×7.5 cm (4.45×2.95 in)

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Microtubes B3K v2 has a current draw of 20mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to ecological reasons it does not accept batteries. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
