Merging Darkglass’ X-series distortion with the high-power Microtubes 900 platform, the Darkglass Microtubes X 900 is a cutting-edge powerhouse of low-end aggression. This bass amplifier head’s mammoth 900 watts of Class D power and ultra-versatile 6-band graphic EQ allow you to tweak, twist, and shape your bass tone from pristine, warm thump to raspy slap and pop tones. However, the real magic happens when you engage the Microtubes X 900’s “X Engine” — this raw, gritty distortion circuit based on Darkglass X-series pedals boasts its own LPF/HPF filters and compressor (also available on the clean channel). You also get MIDI channel switching, stunningly realistic IR cabinet sims, a programmable mute, headphone outputs, auxiliary inputs, and much more. In summary, the Microtubes X 900’s combination of sweeping sonic flexibility, comprehensive stage/studio/practice room features, and signature Darkglass X-series distortion represents a bold new era in Darkglass’ long-standing tenure of low-end dominance.
