The Darkglass Microtubes B7K Ultra V2 Aux In "the SQUID" was designed in collaboration with the vision and superb art of Ignacio Bazan Lazcano, combining new engraving techniques and the latest technology to make this pedal look and feel like none of the brand’s previous products.

The Microtubes B7K Ultra with Aux In takes the powerful DarkglassMicrotubes saturation circuit and adds all the features a player will need for even greater versatility.

Designed for both studio and live use, allowingyou to create and tailor your tone to perfection, from crisp, punchy clean preamp to obliterating high gain distortion

Aux In jack to help you practice with backing tracks

Master

Whereas the Level Knob controls the output of the overdrive section the Master volume adjusts the overall volume of the unit. Ideal for fine tuning the output on clean mode. It also serves as a DI level control.

Blend

Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.

Level

Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.

Drive

Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.

Attack Switch

Sets the amount of treble content to saturate: The "Boost" setting emphasizes the treble content extra clarity and presence. The "Flat" position leaves this register untouched while the "Cut" position will reduce the amount of high frequencies being saturated.

Grunt Switch

Sets the amount of low frequency content to saturate by selecting between three different bass boost levels before the clipping stage.

Bass

+-12dB @ 100Hz

Lo Mids

+-12dB switchable 250Hz, 500Hz and 1kHz

Hi Mids

+-12dB switchable 750Hz, 1.5KHz and 3kHz

Treble

+-12dB @ 5kHz

Direct Ouput

Balanced XLR output for connecting the pedal to a microphone preamp, PA system etc.

Ground lift

Disconnects the signal ground on the Direct Output to break any ground loops. Set this switch to either position that has less noise. The switch does not affect the ¼” output.

Cab Sim

Toggle the cabinet simulation on/off on the Direct Output. This switch completely bypasses all digital circuits and allows you to get a zero latency signal when needed.

Headphones

B7K Ultra has an internal stereo headphone amplifier capable of driving a minimum load of 16 ohms from the 3.5mm stereo jack. Use the Master volume control to adjust the level.

USB

A Micro USB B connector allows you to connect the pedal to PC/Mac to load cabinet simulation impulse responses to the pedal and control various other settings.

Aux In

This 3.5mm stereo input allows you to practice with backing tracks from e.g. your smartphone or laptop. Auxiliary input can only be used with the headphone output. The pedal does not control the level, it must be set from your audio source. Remember to always first set the level low before connecting anything to the aux in!
