Offering a tribute to some of the most legendary tones in rock history, the Vintage Microtubes from Darkglass Electronics is a compact preamp pedal capable of reproducing the warm tubelike tones and organic dynamic response of classic tube amps and tape machines. With four simple controls, you can shape the ultimate bass tones.

The Drive knob controls the amount of saturation, while the Era knob interacts with the Drive knob to shape the character of the preamp, letting you dial in everything from the warm midrange of '70s amps to the punchy and metallic tones of the '80s and '90s. You can also use the Blend knob to control a precise wet/dry mix. Finally, the Level knob controls the volume of the driven signal.

[Metal] Easy to get classic overdrive and muddy modern tones. Somewhat lead tones can be achieved by pushing mids with a tube overdrive pedal or eq. Great pedal overall. 5

[17 mA] I'm a jazz guitarist playing an 8-string classical guitar that goes higher and lower than a regular guitar. It has a K & K pickup and I my amp is a JBL EON powered speaker, which, for this instrument sounds better than any jazz guitar amp. I have used the Zoom A-3 preamp as well as an L.R. Baggs Venue DI. They are both very good but I'd say the Grace Alix is the best I've found. It has great features you can read about but I must say that the sound of my guitar with the EQ set flat is strong, clear and simply amazing! It's very well thought out. Worth the price. 5

[500 Kilohms] Excellent prompt service with competitive prices. Have used them before, very likely to continue to use them. 5

[17 mA] Got it in the bundle along with the Roland TD11K e-drum. Dual chain makes it a bit more stable and it comes with a drum key attached to it. I'm no drum expert, so this is as far as I'll go. 5

[17 mA] I bought this to replace other non-digital compression and eq pedals. I was not interested in calling up many patches. I try to get a McCartney sound and along with nylon flats on a Hofner this allows me to dial it in. I use the Bassman preamp, para-eq's, graphic eq, dbx 160 and MXR stle compressors. I created 3 different patches, tic tac bass, plinky but full bass and deeper bass. I play with two acoustic guitarists in smaller rooms so I use a small Gallien Krueger amp or a Markbass 12 inch combo. My only complaint is that none of the compression settings have any visuals showing gain reduction so it's all up to my ears. Sound quality is great. I haven't spent much time trying out the other patches but their Markbass patch impressed me on how close it was to a Markbass amp. 5
