Description
Description:
We are thrilled to announce a new limited edition, “The SQUID” for our all time best seller Microtubes B7K Ultra with AUX in. In collaboration with the vision, taste and superb art of Ignacio Bazan Lazcano, we combined new engraving techniques and our latest technology to make this pedal look and feel like none of the brand’s previous products.
The Microtubes B7K takes the powerful dynamic saturation circuit of the B3K and adds a four-band equalizer and a balanced line driver for even greater versatility. Designed for both studio and live use, it will take your direct sound to a whole new level.

3.5 mm headphone output with cabinet simulation.
3.5 mm stereo auxiliary input.
Balanced XLR output with switchable cabinet simulation and switchable ground lift.
Pedal Controls and Features:
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!
