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.
Combining two distinctive drive circuits, the "Vintage" and "B3K," the Microtubes 500v2 mix between the two to craft everything from subtle warmth to intense, growling distortion. The onboard 6-band graphic EQ allows players to precisely shape their sound, tailoring each frequency to sit perfectly in the mix. The amp also includes a "Mute" switch and a "Master" knob for quick adjustments, making it both flexible and user-friendly on stage and in the studio.
Enhanced connectivity features make the Microtubes 500v2 versatile for various settings. It includes an XLR output with ground lift for direct recording, a headphone output for silent practice, an auxiliary input, and USB compatibility for firmware updates via the Darkglass Suite software. The amplifier is housed in a durable, lightweight chassis, ideal for easy transport without compromising build quality.
