Darkglass Microtubes B1K CMOS Bass Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

£199.00

The Microtubes B1K is a phenomenal tribute to one of our most legendary distortion circuits in a compact and intuitive format. We are proud to introduce our Microtubes B1K distortion pedal, the first of its kind from an all-new lineup.

“It’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it.” That’s what Darkglass say about their compact B1K pedal! Packing the legendary bass distortion circuit for which they are known into a portable, functional and pedalboard-friendly form-factor — the no-frills B1K delivers massive gain tones despite its small proportions.

Simple, tactile controls allow you to dial-in a variety of inspiring overdrive flavours. The dual-concentric ‘Drive’ and ‘Level’ knobs on the face of the pedal have a wide sonic range, while internally, you have ‘Tone’ and ‘Blend’ trim-pots which provide you with ample control over the distortion EQ and the balance between your clean signal and the overdrive.
