The Microtubes 500 V2 is a 500W amplifier equipped with an all-analog solid state preamplifier and a custom Class D Power Module. The amplifier allows you to use the signature Dual Microtubes engine, with B3K and Vintage Drive circuits.
Features* 500w amplifier with the signature Darkglass distortion engines
* Cab sim with 3 selectable impulse responses
* Studio-grade 6-band graphic EQ and intelligent compressor
* Expanded connectivity with aux in, headphone output, and DI output
* USB connector to load user impulse responses
SIGNATURE DARKGLASS DISTORTION
A new superior custom-designed Darkglass high-efficiency class D power amplifier module is the heart of this new line of 500 Watt amplifiers. It enables the usage of speaker cabs with impedance as low as 2O, adding a new level of flexibility for your cabinet options. A much-requested feature is the cabinet simulation which utilizes an improved version of the Darkglass Cab Sim module. The module has three slots for hi-res impulse responses which are active for both the headphone output and the balanced XLR DI output. Also added is a one-knob compressor with intelligent makeup gain for level consistency, while a new ultra-quiet graphic equalizer now replaces the previous 4-band type one.
MICROTUBES
Use this push button to turn on or off the Microtubes Engine to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage.
COMPRESSION
This knob controls the amount of dynamic compression added to the Microtubes Engine. The makeup gain is adjusted automatically. Compression can be turned off or assigned using the Darkglass Suite for each mode separately (Clean, B3K, and VMT).
DARKGLASS SUITE
The Microtubes 900v2 connects seamlessly with the Darkglass Suite via USB, allowing users to load impulse responses, configure MIDI settings, and fine-tune the onboard compressor and cab sim features.
