Darkglass Microtubes B7K v2 bass preamp
Darkglass Electronics crafts premium handmade bass gear, designed and engineered in Finland. If you’re looking for the best, Replay Guitar Exchange is proud to be able to offer it to you with this exquisite gear. Fundamentally, the Darkglass Microtubes B7K v2 is an analog bass preamp with tone crushing overdrive and super transparent modern sound. All the features of the original are here, retaining the powerful dynamic saturation circuit of the B3K while adding a four-band equalizer and a balanced line driver for even greater versatility. The B7K v2 gives you the ability to better sculpt your tone: on the low mids you have the option to change the center frequency from 1KHz to 500Hz, and on the high mids you have the option to change the center frequency from 3kHz to 1.5kHz. The B7K v2 was designed for both studio and live use. Reach out to Replay Guitar Exchange via chat, email or phone for more information about Darkglass Electronics gear.

Controls
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.
Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
Drive: Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
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.
Low: +-12dB @ 100Hz | Low Mids: +-12dB @ 1kHz
Hi Mids: +-12dB @ 3 kHz | Treble: +-12dB @ 5kHz
Low Mids Switch: this switch change the center frequency of the Low Mids from 1kHz to 500Hz.
Hi Mids Switch: this switch change the center frequency of the Hi Mids from 3kHz to 1.5kHz.
Parallel Output: A passthrough for your input signal, useful for parallel processing.
Direct Output: A balanced version of the 1/2” output, useful for running into PA’s or studio mixing console.
