Description
Think of the MicroBass II as the last stompbox before your amp — or the only tone tool you need for a direct studio feed. It’s built around a two-channel preamp architecture that lets you dial in a clean, high-headroom solid-state voice on one side and a saturated, tube-emulated Class A character on the other, then flip between them with a footswitch or blend them through the built-in A/B/blend function. That makes it just as useful for switching between two basses as it is for jumping from a subby clean tone to a growling driven one mid-song.
Shaping the sound is handled by a five-band filter set: bass, sweepable midrange, treble, bright, and edge, giving you enough range to carve out space in a dense mix or fatten up a thin-sounding instrument. A drive control pushes the tube-style saturation as hard as you want, while an onboard effects loop with dedicated mix control lets you patch in modulation, filters, or an external source without losing your dry signal.
For live and studio work, the balanced output with switchable speaker simulator turns this pedal into a legitimate direct box — send a cabinet-emulated signal straight to the desk or interface while your amp handles the stage sound. A headphone output covers silent practice, and a low-battery indicator plus four powering modes keep you covered no matter how your board is wired.
