Microtubes X
- Thread starter Frank_Raider
- Start date
My money would be on crossover and compressor (DP-3X style), selectable drive engine + cab IR, using the same algorithm as their VST plugins. Shipping with a B7K and VMT sim, maybe adding AO as a downloadable extra in future. Complete with a headphone amp and aux input.
Just a guess of course, but I'd want one!

At minimum, the Microtubes X will be a multi-band overdrive: high frequencies and low frequencies are distorted independently (think Brimstone Crossover Distortion, VFE Triumvirate, Tech 21 DP-3X, etc).
Per a Doug Castro post here on TalkBass, there will be three different versions of the Microtubes X. I can't wait to see what features are on the luxury (Ultra) model! That said, I'm sure that even the base model will be highly useful.

Great, so I'll hold off buying whatever it was I was going to buy today.

If it pushes the resale of B7k Ultra V2's lower, I'm fine with not having the latest and greatest.
New product on the horizon makes me pause.

Tuner? Or tuna?Aux in? Headphones? USB?
Have your stocks gone public Doug?
Haha I alays take that as a compliment, thank you!
Actually Darkglass is solely owned by me and some key team members I've vested over the years.
Neural DSP just finished a small financing round, however!
Thank you for the kind words.
So... I'm looking at a dUg Tech21DP-3X pedal. How long do I have to wait to compare it to the new DG X series?
@Darkglass mentioned in the main DG thread that these would be dropping sometime in August or September I believe.
Doesn't really sound different from the other pedals in that demo but looks like a lot of tweaking possibilities. The filters will be a big help in taming some of the noise inherent with the microtubes circuit.
Looks like it may very well be quite good at being what it is supposed to be.

You can see a crappy demo I shot a few months ago (disregard the odd pops here and there, the compression module on that version was completely done after filming this).
What I like the most, and what sets this pedal apart from the rest of our lineup is how immune it seems to be to old strings.
