Payday for most folk today let's grab a bargain 🤩

What a cab!

Darkglass Microtubes X Mutiband Bass Drive Pedal bought this from the Gentleman Kev 2 weeks ago. Only selling as a mate has just sold me his X7 for a good price. Literally took me 2 mins to dial in 'the tone in my head' which was a midheavy distorted tone with a huge bottom end. Condition is mint and basically wouldn't tell it was 2nd hand and comes with box and manual etc. Distorting bass has always been a very challenging engineering endeavour. In order to achieve a punchy and aggressive distortion, that is also full and fat-sounding, you really need to reconcile two contradicting conditions. The tightness comes from attenuating bass frequencies before saturation, which will also result in a very thin signal, however boosting the lows can also result in additional, unwanted fuzz. To solve this paradox, audio engineers have been using multiband distortions in the studio for a few decades now. The Microtubes X is our solution to this issue, but in a very compact form and just right for your pedalboard. The audio is split by two variable low-pass and high-pass filters at the very start of the signal chain. The high-pass signal (mostly the mid and treble tones) is distorted using CMOS circuitry, just like our other Microtubes pedal circuits. The low pass-signal (all bass) is left untouched. This lets the high frequencies be all crunch, attack and full of rich harmonics, all while mixing back in the undistorted lows to add gargantuan size to the overall mix. The result is virtually unlimited fullness, size, aggression and definition, regardless of how old the strings are or even if your instrument is just boomy or thin sounding. The Microtubes X offers all of this in a compact form with very few controls to tweak, making it almost impossible to dial in a wrong tone.

Thanks guys 😎 2nd hand prices are getting crazy so it's a no brainer to try it out as you can flip it for at least the same as you paid 👍🏼

I hear kidneys are still fetching a fair price. You know it makes sense 🙄

Missing the volume knob but obviously doesn't affect the sound or performance. Open to offers 😉

It's either collect nice gear or get on the gear 💉

Excellent condition SVT in a box with DI Capable of fat 50s flip top to crazy overdriven SVT and everything in between. Has been my 'always on' pedal for the last 5 years and the original for 5 before that Pics tomorrow...

Excellent condition, used once and then kept in its box ever since Pics tomorrow...

Old skool Marshall jcm800 in a box. My secret weapon on bass after being turned on to it whilst in the studio with a big name producer a couple years back Pics tomorrow...

Troy Sanders of Mastodon fame. Excellent fuzz with boost. Simplyfying my setup now I'm going to an all in ears one. No original box but will be securely packed Pics tomorrow...

You all know the score here, one of the best cabs ever made and £1199 new if you can get them. Easily the best cab I've ever played but alas it has to go as I'm moving onto an all in ear setup so needing to let it go to a player. In excellent condition with padded Bergantino cover included. Will get some pics up tomorrow. Based in Perth but visiting family in Leeds quite often so can meet on the way or can deliver up to 60miles radius of Perth provided cleared funds in my account beforehand.

Love these! Had a 300 back in the day. Good luck with the sale
