Description
The Darkglass Electronics Microtubes 500 2x10 Bass Combo Amp is tailored for bassists looking for portability without sacrificing tone. This amp is a part of Darkglass' M Combo Series, that redefines expectations of analog bass amplifier sizes, weights, and functionality. This new combo comes in this sleek 2x10, as well as a 1x12 Infinity speaker configuration.

Driven by custom-made Eminence speakers and powered by a 500 W class D power module, the Microtubes 500 2x10 boasts an array of features designed to enhance versatility. With a standard 1/4in input, private practice sessions or silent monitoring are also easy with the headphone output. This innovative combo also offers flexibility in tone shaping with its passive/active switch, allowing users to toggle between modes to accommodate different instrument configurations and playing styles. A compression control regulates dynamic consistency, with automatic makeup gain adjustment.

The Microtubes 500 2x10 is also host to a full spectrum of distortion with the drive control, which governs the intensity of the Microtubes Engine's transformative capabilities. Choices between OFF, Vintage Microtubes, and Microtubes B3K modes allow for versatility and tonal choices. A blend knob also allows for a mixture of wet and dry signals.

An onboard comprehensive EQ section, featuring adjustable parameters for low, low mid, high mid, and treble frequencies, allows users to select a desired frequency range with the press of a button, and a ±12dB boost option allows for gain increase without any additional pedals.
