Description & Specs

The Darkglass Microtubes Vintage doesn't necessarily emulate a specific amplifier brand or model like an Ampeg SVT or Mesa Boogie 400, even better, it recreates a much wider palette of characters! Anything from the smooth, warm and naturally compressed tone of the 70_s to the aggressive and punchy growl of the 90_s, plus everything in between! We looked at some of our favorite players bass distortion tones like Geddy Lee, Tim Commerford, Geezer Butler, Lemmy and Justin Chancellor and tried to find a way to put them in a small format bass effects pedal.

In addition to the mandatory Level and Drive and Blend knobs, the control that makes this pedal so unique and versatile is the new ERA knob: This unique control unlocks some of the greatest characteristic tones of Rock & Roll throughout the ages!

Blend: Allows to mix exactly how much clean signal you want to mix with the Overdriven.

Drive: Sets the amount of gain for this pedal. The Vintage Microtubes gets a lot cleaner than the Microtubes B3K, but do not worry; there is still more gain than you'll probably know what to do with.

ERA: Interacts beautifully with the Drive knob in order to recreate some of greatest landmarks in rock and roll bass history! This control will take you from funk to punk in no time: dial it down to get some of those warm and mid rangy tones of yore while replicating the subtle compression of tube power amps and tape recorders or crank it up to get the meaner and nastier punchy tones of the 80_s and 90_s.

  • The Vintage must be powered with a regulated 9V power supply (center negative). You can also experiment with 12V power supply for extra headroom.
  • For ecological reasons, this product does not include battery snaps
  • Indestructible Relay True bypass! Still True bypass, except that it won't break. Ever.
  • Original Design featuring Hybrid JFET and CMOS gain stages for a natural dynamic response.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback.
