About this item
The Microtubes X from Darkglass is a flexible pedal that allows musicians, producers, and engineers to selectively distort only the high-end frequencies on your bass guitar, while leaving the low-end clean and undistorted. This lightweight and compact pedal uses sophisticated parallel processing to split the signal into two separate frequency ranges for processing before mixing them back together at the output stage. Simply connect your instrument or the output from your pedalboard to the 1/4" mono jack, and connect from the 1/4" output jack to the input of your amplifier or another effects pedal. The Microtubes X requires a regulated 9 VDC adapter with a center-negative plug.
