ABSOLUTE CONTROL
 
The Microtubes 500v2 is a 500W amplifier equipped with an all-analog preamplifier, custom-designed Darkglass high-efficiency class D Module, an ultra-quiet graphic equalizer, and a digital impulse-response cabinet emulator for DI outputs or headphones.
 
Passive/Active
Use this push-button switch to change from passive to active mode. If your bass is active it can have a hotter signal making the amp to distort early (feel free to use if such additional distortion is desired).
 
Microtubes
Use this push button to turn on or off the Microtubes Engine to add natural compression, organic harmonic enhancement, and saturation ranging from mild overdrive to high gain bass rage.
 
Compression
This knob controls the amount of dynamic compression added to the Microtubes Engine. The makeup gain is adjusted automatically. Compression can be turned off or assigned using the Darkglass Suite for each mode separately (Clean, B3K, and VMT).
 
Drive
This knob controls the amount of distortion that the Microtubes Engine will deliver. It will change from a soft warm overdrive to a massive modern distortion sound.
 
Tone
This knob controls the high harmonic content of the Microtubes Engine via a variable low pass filter: crank it up for additional attack and definition or dim it down for a smoother sound, especially handy if already running bright clean EQ setting or cabinets with tweeters.
 
Blend
Use this knob to mix between the Clean signal and the DIstortion signal (Microtubes Engine).
 
B3K/VMT
This push-button switch selects between two overdrive voicings: B3K® mode will deliver an aggressive, percussive sound while the VMT will bring up the mids for a warmer, more neutral character.
 
Bass
+-12dB at 80Hz. Use this slider to change the low-end content of the signal.
 
Mids
+-12dB at 250, 500, 1.5k and 3kHz. These sliders control the mid content of the signal.
 
Treble
+-12dB at 5kHz. Use this slider to change the high content of the signal.
