Black Bobbin introduces the Black Bobbin Boost, a dual transparent boost that features two circuits with independent ins and outs to allow for placement anywhere in the signal path.

​The BUMP side is designed as an always-on mid-range bump with high headroom to be placed first in the signal chain. This benefits the drives that follow it in the signal path and pushes the amp to the desired edge of breakup. It has a single output knob, but also includes an internal tone trim pot that acts as a treble boost or cut.

The BOOST side is inspired by transparent boosts with tonal shaping capabilities and can be placed at the end of the drive signal path to act as a decibel boost after the heaviest gain stage. This allows for a boost on your board that is ideal for soloing by shaping your signal to cut through the mix. The BOOST side features Output, Gain, and Tone controls to allow for optimal EQing.

The Black Bobbin Boost is designed and manufactured by Old Blood Noise Endeavors and is available exclusively at blackbobbin.com for a $249 retail price.

This new processor combines all three Microtubes distortions (B3K, Vintage and X) and compression into one pedal.

Darkglass Electronics, a Helsinki, Finland-based manufacturer of handmade bass guitar equipment, announces the introduction of Microtubes Infinity, a new pedal that combines all the sounds of the Darkglass Microtubes line into one unit. Microtubes Infinity shares the footprint of the Darkglass programmable line, packed with the three legendary Microtubes distortions: B3K, Vintage and X. It allows multiband compression on every mode and blending Impulse responses (IR) between distortions, offering infinite sonic possibilities.

Compression and distortion can be bypassed independently, and each has five selectable modes. The pedal also offers selectable cabinet simulation with five on-board IRs. A six-band graphic EQ is also featured, featuring the same touch-sensitive sliders found on the Darkglass Element pedal. And crucially, all settings can be saved as presets.

The Darkglass Microtubes Infinity is now available with U.S. MAP pricing of $599.99. For more information, please visit darkglass.com.
