Microtubes X

The Microtubes X series brings the studio method producers have been using the years to cover the whole bass distortion spectrum: from articulate high gain to punchy mild overdrive, raw and gnarly fuzz, and everything in between. You now have absolute control in constructing your vision of what the perfect bass distortion texture, definition, and size should be.

Distorting bass has always been a very challenging engineering endeavor. To achieve a punchy and aggressive distortion that is also full and fat-sounding, you need to reconcile two contradicting conditions: The tightness comes from attenuating bass frequencies before saturation, which will also result in a very thin signal. But boosting the lows will result in additional, unwanted fuzz.

Specs

  • High-pass frequency

    Controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100Hz (for thicker, fuzzier saturation) or 1kHz for ultra-sharp definition.

  • Mids

    Active mid control placed after the Mix control. +-12dB @ 500Hz.

  • Dimensions

    Width: 75 mm / 3″
    Length: 111 mm/ 4¼″
    Height: 43 mm / 1¾″
    Weight: 250 g / 0.55 lb

  • Low-pass frequency

    Controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side. Ranging from 50Hz (for only sub-bass) and 500Hz to preserve some clean mids.

  • Output

    Connect from the ¼” Output jack to the input of your amplifier or another effects pedal.

  • Warning

    The Microtubes X has a current draw of 30mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug.

    Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.

  • Level

    Sets the overall output volume of the unit.

  • Input

    Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the ¼” mono jack.

  • Drive

    Sets the amount of distortion for the high pass side.

  • 9V DC

    Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug.

  • Mix

    Sets the blend between low-pass and high-pass signals.
