Portability, flexibility, and performance represent the spirit of our first breakthrough in the amplification world. The distinctive sound comes from the unique Microtubes Engine, a technology developed by Darkglass to accomplish the highest expectations of any bass player.
Illustrated by the amazing artist Christopher Lovell, "Medusa" is one of the most epic, dark artwork we have seen in the past few years.

Front Panel Features
Input
Connect your instrument via a standard ¼” mono cable.
Passive/Active
Switch from passive to active mode. Some active basses can have a hotter signal output which can make the amp distort early (feel free to use it on Passive move even with active basses if such additional distortion is desired).
Microtubes
Turns on or off the Microtubes Engine to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage.
The Microtubes Engine operates before the clean section (you can therefore use the 4 Band Active EQ for additional tone shaping in addition to the Tone knob described below).
Drive
Controls the amount of distortion that the Microtubes Engine will deliver. It will change from a soft warm overdrive to a massive modern distorted tone.
Tone
Controls the high harmonic content of the Microtubes Engine via a variable low pass filter: crank it up for additional attack and definition or dim it down for a smoother sound. This is handy if running bright clean EQ settings or cabinets with tweeters.
Level
Controls the Microtubes Engine’s output volume.
Blend
Mixes between the Clean signal and the Distortion signal (Microtubes Engine).
B3K/VMT
Selects between two overdrive voicings: B3K mode will deliver an aggressive, percussive sound while the VMT will bring up the mids for a warmer, more neutral character.
Gain
Changes the volume of the signal the Active 4 Band EQ. You can set it low prior to ensuring the cleanest operation possible or set it higher for more aggressive growl.
Bass
+-12dB at 80Hz. Changes the low content of the signal.
Low Mids
+-12dB of the selected frequency via the LOW MIDS ƒ switch (described below). Changes the lower mid content of the signal.
Low Mids ƒ
Use this switch to change the frequency of the low mid band from 250Hz, 500Hz or 1kHZ.
Hi Mids
+-12dB of the selected frequency via the HI MIDS ƒ switch (described below). Changes the higher mid content of the signal.
Hi Mids ƒ
Use this switch to change the frequency of the hi mid band from 750Hz, 1.5kHz and 3kHZ.
Treble
+-12dB at 5kHz. Changes the high content of the signal.
Master
Controls the overall volume of the amplifier.
Mute
Mutes the amplifier.
