Darkglass B7K Microtubes Analog Bass Preamp Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
The Darkglass B7K bass preamp's 4-band EQ, ground lift and adjustable attack and gain switches let you liven up your clean tone, or dial in some dirt.

The Black Beast. The Microtubes B7K takes the powerful dynamic saturation circuit of the B3K and adds a four-band equalizer and a balanced line driver for even greater versatility. Designed for both studio and live use, it will take your direct sound to a whole new level.

Features:

- Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal
- Drive: Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
- Blend: Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.
- Grunt Switch: Sets the amount of low frequency content to saturate by selecting between three different bass boost levels before the clipping stage.
- Attack Switch: Sets the amount of treble content to saturate: The "Boost" setting emphasizes the treble content extra clarity and presence. The "Flat" position leaves this register untouched while the "Cut" position will reduce the amount of high frequencies being saturated. This addition helps to keep the treble portion of the signal under control, especially useful when playing with new strings and/or cabinets with tweeters!

- Dimensions: (L x W x H) 5 x 4 x 3"

Ok to start off, I currently don't have a "top of the line" rig. My rig is a GK Goldline series 500W head with the matching 410 cabinet. Now I've had this rig for 10 years, and it isn't the best, but nowadays I use it more for practice since I'm usually playing at "plug and play" gigs lately. Well I needed a preamp so I can have the option of running through the PA in case a house rig wasn't available...or I would use my rig as a last resort. Man this thing made my rig shine...totally transformed my sound. I still plan to get a better rig, but right now I don't need to. This and my multi fx pedal is all I need for the time being. One of the best preamps on the market, if not the best. It is so versatile, I am still discovering different tone options. It is very well worth the price tag.
