Tone and power in spades

I bought my darkglass microtubes 900 from my sweetwater rep about a week ago. I was impressed with their pedals before and the videos and reviews on this were great. They sold me on it. I still wasn't ready for it... When I got it I hooked it up, plugged in and fired it up. Within 5 minutes I knew:
A) this amp can do it all, from crystal clean and smooth to outright fire breathing metal demon.
B) the blend knob is brilliant. Perfect tonal balance in seconds
C) the one knob compression is pretty **** useable, and sounds good.
D) the mute button is a nice touch, handy feature.
E) This amp is Fuggin' LOUD!! I am in a sound proof studio into a nice 4x10 cab and I can't push the volume up past 3. I tried and I get the feeling I'd be shaking **** off the counters (at my neighbors house). It has so much power that all I can do is sit there and giggle at the **** thing when I cranked it to 3.5ish repeating "Oh My God!"

I can't imagine it a 60٪ of it's power. It's like a Ferrari and I lack the balls to see how fast it will actually really go. Well done Darkglass.

Awesome Bass Rig!

First I just want to thank Jason my sales rep for recommending the Darkglass 900 V2, and Darkglass 410 cabinet.
Wow, this set up is amazing! Everything about it the distortion with the clean sound comes through the music and such a clean punchy tone, but it's not overwhelming to the music. It's like a perfect mix with the rest of the band.
I can go on and on about the Great sound this amp, and speaking cabinet deliver. Thank you Jason for the recommendation and Sweetwater for a great service

THIS THING IS SWEET

I am so stoked to finally have a Darkglass amp. I've been a big fan of the pedals since the beginning and I've had most versions of the Microtubes line. This is the natural progression for me and I am so glad I finally the took the plunge. The features on this thing are rich and dare I say the most versatile bass head on the market.

MicroBeast

Exactly what I've been looking for. Super compact and light for such a powerful amp. I was able to dial in a usable tone in less than a minute. The dirt, while on the red mode, gives a very useable distortion without killing the bass' natural tone character.
