Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Microtubes 500 v2 continues the line of Darkglass amp heads designed for bassists who want a modern, precise, and powerful sonic foundation while maintaining true musicality in attack and harmonics. This "v2" version pushes the "all-in-one" approach further: a compact power platform, a signature drive inspired by Darkglass's most renowned circuits, and tools geared towards stage and studio use (DI, cabinet simulation, graphic EQ, simple and effective compression).
Who This Amp Is For
The Darkglass Microtubes 500 v2 targets intermediate to professional bassists seeking a lightweight head capable of handling rehearsals and live gigs with a comfortable power reserve. It excels particularly in rock, metal, post-rock, and any styles where the bass must remain clear in a dense mix, but it can also deliver a clean, tight sound for pop, modern funk, or studio sessions. Thanks to the cabinet simulation and DI, it's also an excellent choice for in-ear monitor setups, quick recordings, or stage rigs without a cabinet.

Questions frequently asked
What power does the Darkglass Microtubes 500 V2 deliver?
The Class D power amplifier delivers 500 W and accepts a minimum impedance of 2 ohms. Its dimensions of 230 x 180 x 71 mm and weight of 2.4 kg make it easy to transport to rehearsals and gigs.
Can a saturated sound be achieved while preserving the low end?
The Microtubes section offers two selectable drive characters: VMT for a warm growl and B3K for a more aggressive saturation. The Blend control adjusts the amount of saturated signal to preserve the low end foundation.
Does the head feature a DI output and speaker simulation?
A balanced XLR DI output is integrated, with selectable cabinet and IR simulation. The USB-C port enables access to functions related to this simulation. The configuration is completed by a 6.35 mm headphone output and a 3.5 mm auxiliary input.
What equalizer is built into the Microtubes 500 V2?
A low-noise 6-band graphic equalizer allows precise correction of bass, mids, or attack. A one-knob compressor with smart makeup gain helps stabilize the dynamics.
How to connect effects pedals to this Darkglass head?
The serial effects loop uses a send and return on two 6.35 mm jacks. It allows insertion of modulations, delays, or other external processing into the preamp signal chain.
