Description
The Vintage Microtubes takes its cues from tube amps and reel-to-reel tape, chasing that natural, springy compression bassists have loved for decades rather than a harsh digital crunch. Drop it into your signal chain to fatten up a clean tone or push it into full-on saturated growl territory.
- Level – sets the output volume of your overdriven signal.
- Drive – controls how much saturation gets layered into the tone.
- Blend – merges your unaffected input with the driven signal; since the clean side stays at unity gain, you get precise control over the ratio using the Level knob.
- Era – works alongside Drive to shift the pedal’s overall character, from mellow 70s-style midrange warmth at lower settings to aggressive, metallic 80s/90s punch when cranked.
Compact at 11.3×7.5 cm (4.45×2.95 in), it fits easily on a crowded board without eating up real estate.
Power note: This pedal draws 20mA and requires a regulated 9V DC center-negative adapter — no batteries accepted. Skip unregulated supplies or higher voltages, as they can introduce noise issues or damage the unit and void your warranty.
