Vintage Microtubes Deluxe mk1

Available as a limited special edition, this anniversary pedal covers all the expected drive tones, plus a lot more besides.

Designed in collaboration with Darkglass Electronics, the 35th Anniversary drive pedal goes full stealth with a black and gold colour scheme and a special 35th Anniversary logo box. Aside from the engage switch (which illuminates a very cool LED) and the usual in/out and DC power sockets, the pedal has three controls – level, drive and tone. As with all Darkglass pedals, you also get true bypass switching, a particularly hard-wearing footswitch and a super-bright LED.

While this is a stompbox capable of some impressive high gain sounds, it’s been designed to be equally effective at lower, more classic levels of drive and to be sensitive to bass playing dynamics. “We’ve blended old-school vibes, appealing visuals and some modern production techniques to create a pedal that has much more versatility than you might have assumed,” said Sheldon Dingwall. “It’s really been designed to capture the dynamic interaction between you and your bass. There’s plenty of dynamic range before the crunch really sets in.”
The result is a wide range of tonal possibilities from subtly distorted blues tones through to classic rock and metal. This is the perfect stompbox for Dingwall aficionados looking for something with plenty of future collectable prestige.

Kopfhörerverstärker mit Lautsprecher-Simulation und Bluetooth
Der Darkglass Element ist ein praktischer Kopfhörerverstärker für Gitarristen und Bassisten, der sich als ideales Tool zum Üben, Proben, Aufnehmen oder Monitoring entpuppt. Dementsprechend vermitteln hochwertige Lautsprechersimulationen auf Basis von Impulse-Responses ein besonders natürliches Spielgefühl, sowohl mit dem eigenen Pedalboard als auch mit Modelern oder am Direct-Out eines Verstärkers. Während der USB-C-Anschluss das Laden eigener Impulse-Responses gestattet, können über Bluetooth oder die Aux-In-Buchse Backing-Tracks wiedergegeben werden. Außerdem stellt der Kopfhörerverstärker einen symmetrischen XLR-Ausgang für den direkten Anschluss an Mischpulte oder Audio-Interfaces bereit. Als absolutes Highlight des Darkglass Element erweist sich außerdem die intuitive Bedienung über Touch-Sensoren.

Headphone amplifier with speaker simulation and Bluetooth
The Darkglass Element is a practical headphone amplifier for guitarists and bassists that turns out to be the ideal tool for practicing, rehearsing, recording or monitoring. Accordingly, high-quality loudspeaker simulations based on impulse responses convey a particularly natural playing feel, whether you play with your own pedal board, with modelers or at the direct-out of an amplifier. While the USB-C connection allows you to load your own impulse responses, backing tracks can be played back via Bluetooth or the Aux-In socket. The headphone amplifier also provides a balanced XLR output for direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces. Another highlight of the Darkglass Element is the intuitive operation via touch sensors .
