Darkglass Microtubes 900v2 Bass Amp Head | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Darkglass Microtubes 900v2 represents the next evolution in professional bass amplification, building upon three years of refinement since the original Microtubes 900 first embodied the Darkglass ethos with its unusual features and uncompromising design. This incredibly versatile and unapologetically loud amplifier now features enhanced durability, improved equalizer, studio-grade compression, impulse response cabinet emulation, and MIDI control - delivering all the options the modern, professional bassist needs in a compact, sleek, and loud format. A thousand days after the first Microtubes 900 saw the light of day, the v2 sets a new standard for professional bass amplification.
Product Overview
The Microtubes 900v2 showcases the legendary Microtubes Engine that provides natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage. The engine operates before the clean section, allowing the 6-band active EQ to provide additional tone shaping beyond the dedicated Tone control. The B3K/VMT switch selects between two overdrive voicings - B3K mode delivers aggressive, percussive sound while VMT brings up the mids for warmer, more neutral character.
The comprehensive 6-band active EQ features ±12dB at 80Hz (Bass), ±12dB at 250Hz, 500Hz, 1.5kHz and 3kHz (Mids), and ±12dB at 5kHz (Treble), providing precise frequency control for any musical application. The studio-grade compression with automatic makeup gain can be controlled via the dedicated knob or assigned through the Darkglass Suite app.
Professional features include impulse response cabinet emulation with three different cabinet impulses plus bypass, pre and post DI outputs with latency compensation, effects loop, MIDI control, and intelligent footswitch capability. The USB connector enables Darkglass Suite integration for loading different cabinet impulses and parameter customization, while the headphone output with cabinet emulation and auxiliary input provides comprehensive practice capabilities.
