The Darkglass Microtubes B3K V2 Bass Overdrive Pedal is an update of the original but with more enhanced controls and the ability to restore the basss midrange for a punchy character. Whilst the B3K retains the originals pedal perfect combination of brutality and clarity it also offers the iconic sharp scooped and overdriven tone that many players have fallen in love with. For this upgraded model the engineers at Darkglass have replaced the attack switch with a tone knob offering control over a wider frequency range. They also switched the grunt 3-way toggle for a grunt switch and a mid-boost switch providing a subtle boost to help cut through busy mixes. The Microtube B3K V2 Overdrive is perfect for adding defined and powerful saturation to your tone in any situation.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
