What we say:

At A Glance:

The Darkglass Microtubes B3K V2 is another stellar pedal from Darkglass, this time with incredibly powerful, brutal distortion pedal with a presence that's impossible to ignore.

Features We Love:

Killer Sound

Looking for enormous, menacing distorted tones for your bass? Look no further. The Darkglass Microtubes B3K V2 right out of the box has a devastating sound with plenty of punch and plenty of options to shape your tone.

Easy to Use

The Microtubes B3K V2 has 4 dials that do exactly what you would expect, it features two additional toggles, "Grunt" and "Mid Boost", toggling the Grunt switch provides a meaty low end boost for an extra thick sound, and the Mid Boost function provides a subtle 6dB boost to your signal that will give you a bit more bite and presence.

Solid Upgrade

The Microtubes B3K V2 does everything that the original does, but with some incredible quality of life upgrades, if you were a fan of the original, this is a must have.

Highlights:

  • Incredible Sound
  • Great Ease of Use
  • Solid Build

Specification

  • Tone Knob: this control uses a variable low pass filter to exactly control the high harmonic content. The Attack switch from the V1 has now been removed, as the Tone knob essentially serves the same function, but with a much greater range and control over the attack and treble.
  • Mid Boost switch: Darkglass also included a control to add an alternative to the characteristic mid frequency response of the B3K. If desired, pushing this button will result in a slightly flatter and more transparent character.
  • Grunt Switch: replacing the V1 three-way toggle, the new V2 modes are Raw and Fat.
  • 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: give a subtle 6 dB boost from 300 Hz to 1 kHz to help you cut through a little more.
  • Powered by optional 9V PSU (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~20mA current draw)
