{"product_id":"darkglass-microtubes-500-500-watt-bass-head","title":"Darkglass Microtubes 500 - 500-watt Bass Head","description":"\u003ch2\u003e500W Bass Head with 2 Darkglass Preamp Circuits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Darkglass Microtubes 500 packs two switchable Darkglass preamp circuits — the B3K and the Vintage Microtubes — into a robustly built yet lightweight bass head. A 4-band active EQ with switchable mid centers brings out the bite in your bass and tames the low-mid wool — two essential ingredients in achieving a modern rock and metal tone. Performance is efficient and studio quiet; the aluminum chassis acts as a heatsink to keep your amp running cool even when you redline it. Of course, the Microtubes 500 is no mere little brother to the Microtubes 900. New additions include a headphone output for silent practice, a more convenient front-located footswitch jack (footswitch not included), and a streamlined back panel for easier navigation on dark stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e500 watts of earth-moving power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size:output ratio of the Darkglass Microtubes 500 must be heard to be believed. You get 500 watts of Class D power in an attractive aluminum housing that stows easily in a backpack or gear bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePowerful EQ section\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarkglass has really set the bar for modern rock and metal bass tones. The powerful 4-band EQ in the Microtubes 500 quickly and effectively neutralizes the tubby, rubber-band sound of your direct signal and transforms it into something more musical. Switchable frequency centers at 250\/500Hz and 1.5\/3.0kHz support additional tone tailoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo switchable Darkglass preamp circuits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Darkglass Microtubes B3K and Vintage Microtubes are two fantastic bass preamps, and The Microtubes 500 bass has both circuits, footswitchable, built right in! — a tremendous value considering the price of these handmade pedals. Engage the B3K for brutality and power or the Vintage Microtubes for that new-meets-old-school rock and metal tone, then blend to taste. Or, for a totally natural tone, bypass them both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeadphone and XLR outputs for practice and tracking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of a headphone out and XLR direct out give the Microtubes 500 unbeatable value. Now you can take your stage tone to the practice room or recording studio without hauling your cab. A switchable pre-\/post-EQ sends a wet or dry tone out to a live soundboard or recording medium for tonal flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful, portable bass head from Darkglass of Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo switchable Darkglass preamp circuits built right in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers 500 watts @ 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight aluminum chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficient and quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful 4-band active EQ with switchable mid frequencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeakON Combo output supports modern and vintage cabinets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone out for silent practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR direct out for gigging and recording made easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects loop for pedals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMute switch for set breaks and instrument changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Darkglass footswitch not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eSolid State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eNumber of Channels: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eTotal Power: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e500W\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eEQ: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e4-band EQ , tone\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eInputs: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e1 x 1\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eOutputs: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e1 x SpeakON, 1 x XLR (DI out)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eHeadphones: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e1 x 1\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eEffects Loop: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eFootswitch I\/O: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e1 x 1\/4\" (microtubes engine)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003ePower Source: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eStandard IEC AC cable\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli itemprop=\"height\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/QuantitativeValue\" class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eHeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e2.8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli itemprop=\"width\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/QuantitativeValue\" class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eWidth: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e9.1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli itemprop=\"depth\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/QuantitativeValue\" class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eDepth: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e7.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli itemprop=\"weight\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/QuantitativeValue\" class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"table__header\"\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e3.8 lbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Darkglass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37647142125748,"sku":"DGMICROTUBESM500","price":44950.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/2417\/4004\/products\/FrontM500thumb.jpg?v=1661332733","url":"https:\/\/gpgallerymakati.myshopify.com\/products\/darkglass-microtubes-500-500-watt-bass-head","provider":"GP Gallery Makati","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
