Darkglass Microtubes 900V2 Head

Three years ago Darkglass Electronics released its first amplifier, the Microtubes 900. Its unusual features, and design embodied the Darkglass ethos like none of our previous products. It was an uncompromising amplifier, incredibly versatile, and unapologetically loud. Now, Darkglass are proud to announce the next step in its evolution, the Darkglass Microtubes 900V2 Head.

With enhanced durability, improved equalizer, studio-grade compression, impulse response cabinet emulation, and MIDI control, the Microtubes 900 v2 features all the options the modern, professional bassist needs in a compact, sleek, and loud format.
