Pedal-sized preamp for electric bass with authentic vintage sound and versatile tone control
With the Darkglass Vintage Ultra the Finnish bass specialists present the perfect sound centre for the electric bass. The compact preamp in pedal format delivers a surprisingly amplifier-like sound that is as clean as it is distorted as the best tube stacks and can be adjusted via an elaborate tone control.
The Darkglass Vintage Ultra offers many possibilities for sound adjustment and a separately switchable overdrive.
Fat clean sound and rich overdrive
The Darkglass Vintage Ultra delivers a massive clean sound, whose organic dynamics and harmonic richness bring the bass signal to life and bring clear associations to a high-voltage tube circuit. In addition, the preamplifier offers a separately switchable overdrive unit that covers the spectrum between greasing overdrive and rich distortion.
Versatile tone control, balanced DI output
Using the 4-band tone control, the sound of the Darkglass Electronics Vintage Ultra can be precisely adjusted, whereby the semi-parametric midbands allow a significant influence on the character-forming frequencies. In addition, two typical Darkglass switches, Grunt and Attack, are available. While Grunt determines the saturated bass components in the signal, Attack can be used to give the signal more presence or to take away sharpness, depending on the other equipment used. With its balanced DI output, the Darkglass Vintage Ultra is also ideally suited for direct pickup on stage or in the studio.
