Darkglass Microtubes 900 Class D Amp

I preordered mine from Link Removed. Got word they are expecting shipment soon. Can't wait to get this amp!

I did too. Link Removed is super responsive to any questions/orders.
Tracking numbers just received. If the GoodLordWilling and the CreekDon'tRise they should ship out from us Thursday.
 
No hay problema....great to hear the story of Darkglass. You seem like a pretty cool cat, if you're ever in Vancouver Canada, i'll get the first beer.:)

Thank you man, looking forward to that beer!

You are like the Elon Musk of Bass amps :thumbsup:

Haha thanks. As a big Elon fan I'll take that as a huge compliment.

Thanks guys, for sharing the talk, support and kind words! It means a lot to me.
 
I think it's pretty awesome to have just two!
Sometimes when I play a one channel amp is OK as I just don't want to be distracted by messing with anything. And there is certainly something to be said for KISS, because if I set up in a noisy environment simple is best. But in general I much prefer dual channel amps so I can have two distinct tones preset and ready to go. I usually do not use pedals and to have variability and versatility with dual channels allows me to have more creativity. I think more than two would make it easier for me to get confused.

I try to keep it simple as well. Passive Precision w/ flats, alternating fingerstyle and pick playing, Darkglass VMT and a Suppa Phak Phuk boost pedal for when I need to give it the business. All feeding into a Mesa Prodigy all-tube amp. The touch sensitivity of the VMT, change in tone between finger and pick (often within the same song) and the natural overdrive of a tube amp especially when I engage the Suppa Phat Phuk is all I need. I wouldn't see much benefit to more than two separate channels.
 
Will the head ship with any type of gig-bag/case? Are there plans to produce one? The band I play with does a lot of small regional touring, and I'm concerned about my ability to keep this head protected.

For touring use I'd go with a hard case. I've got this one for my Aggie Th500, seems like it should fit the Darkglass as well.
