Darkglass Microtubes 900 Class D Amp

#1,281
I recently purchased a Microtubes 900 to replace my Ampeg SVT-4Pro, and I couldn't be happier! The built in overdrive circuits are amazing, and I can blend them down to capture all those harmonic overtones while maintaining a clean tone. The amp lets me dial in any sound I want. The DI sounds great all by itself, but I pair it with an Avalon u5 (bought because the Ampeg DI sound was junk) and it makes my bass come to life on any recording.

About a month ago I played a show with my Tool Tribute band and it was the best live sound I've ever had! You can hear it cut through clearly in the verse even though this is just a camcorder recording. I can't recommend this amp enough.

Haven't had band practice for a month. Sickness, travel etc. Today we had a 2.5 hour session. Damn, this amp sounds good.

An Ibanez RS800 passive bass with EB Cobalt. And only the amp.

Question for @Darkglass: I purchases a Disaster Audio DPC-5 Gen 3, a programmable pedalboard switching and midi controller. It has multi-function TRS connections that can do things like send multiple taps, etc. I would like to program this to turn the overdrives on/off when selecting a patch. Is this possible?

If you mean for the M900 unfortunately not. It will only work with our Footswitches (via a standard mono cable).

Do you have a link showing that price? Bags are particularly expensive to ship due to high volume weight though.

From Bass Centre in Melbourne

I do love your stuff, I've got the amp, B7K, B3K & Super Symmetry but these bags are almost double the price of even the most expensive ones on there site. I got a padded bag for $40 that fits leads and everything else I need & I'd have no problems taking on tour.

@Darkglass: I checked with my local DG dealer, Empire Guitars in Providence, RI, USA. I asked about the super intelligent foot. They were not aware of the product. I only see it at European websites. Is it available in the states?

Not yet. It is listed as to be available.
