Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra

The most complete bass overdrive from Darkglass, now with even more control over every frequency

The Darkglass Microtubes X Ultra is the absolute top model in the Microtubes X series, offering bassists unprecedented control over their overdrive tone. Where many pedals choose between character or versatility, the X Ultra delivers both: from subtle warmth to aggressive high-gain distortion, it's all in one compact pedal.

The sound of the Microtubes X Ultra is raw, defined, and dynamic. The combination of Microtubes technology with extensive EQ options ensures that the low frequencies remain tight and present, even at high gain settings. The additional frequency sliders for 250 Hz and 3 kHz give you surgical control over the spectrum, while the separate distortion footswitch allows you to engage overdrive and distortion independently. Ideal for bassists who want to switch live between clean, lightly driven, and fully overdriven.

The X Ultra features Low Comp, Low Level, High Level, High Drive, and an extensive EQ section. Connections include Input, Output, Aux In, Headphones, and a Direct Out, making the pedal also directly usable in the studio or as a DI box. Powered by 9V DC. The product type is a bass preamp/overdrive, and the pedal fits into any pedalboard setup thanks to its compact size. A must-have for the demanding bassist who doesn't want to compromise.
