Bring the power of modern studio bass recording to your feet with the Microtubes X7 from Darkglass Electronics, a versatile bass preamp with a host of useful features. Sporting separate high and low level controls, low-pass and high-pass filters, and flexible I/O, the X7 is a universal tool for studio or stage.

With the four main rotary knobs, you can control the amount of low-end compression, low-pass output level, high-pass output level, and high-pass distortion level. Five convenient studio-style sliders let you adjust master volume and two peaking and two shelving filters (80 and 500 Hz, and 1 and 5 kHz). You can also adjust the high- and low-pass filter frequencies. Along with standard instrument input and output, the X7 includes a balanced XLR output (ideal for sound systems and audio interfaces), and a parallel 1/4" output for parallel processing. A handy ground-lift control lets you eliminate hum that may arise from the balanced output.

[1 Kilohm] 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.

[Metal] 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.

[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.

[1 Kilohm] The X7 system is a giant step forward in aerial cinematography. There is a noticeable enhancement to the picture quality and sharpness due to the lens optics and larger sensor size. It's great to be able to change lenses to suite the shoot.
You will notice your flight time will be shortened by 3-6 minutes due to the heavier payload of this camera system. I would also like to see a 100mm lens added to the lens set for natural history work.

[1 Kilohm] This monitor is a nice upgrade from a Lilliput 7. I wish they had a 10 version. The screen is very bright and the colors are crisp (for what I do, sports filming). The aluminum case is perfect. Note: the box doesn't have a power supply included.

[1 Megohm] I live in NYC and have larger cabs and heads. I got this little amp for being able to get on the subway without breaking my back. For the size, weight, and money this is a great little amp.for practice and low volume rehearsals.
