Shift Between Vintage and Modern Overdrive Tones The M 500's preamp gives you the best of both worlds for dirt tones. The Vintage Microtubes emulates the warm, tube-like overdrive of the Darkglass B7K pedal. With the Microtubes B3K mode, you get the modern high-gain distortion that made Darkglass famous. The intuitive Blend, Drive and Level controls make it easy to mix and match the two circuits to craft your ultimate gritty bass sound. Whether you need a smooth, bluesy growl or an aggressive metal crunch, the M 500 has you covered. Sculpt Your Sound With the Four-Band EQ Having advanced EQ at your fingertips is crucial for honing the perfect bass tone. The M 500's four-band EQ gives you immense precision for tweaking your lows, mids and highs. Two sweepable midrange bands let you target 500Hz, 1kHz, 1.5kHz or 3kHz with pinpoint accuracy. Cutting or boosting frequencies in these ranges helps your bass sit perfectly in a live mix or recording. The low and high bands offer +/- 15dB of boost/cut for broad tonal shaping. No matter what tones you're chasing, the M 500's EQ has the flexibility to get you there. Optical Compressor Adds Dynamics Control The M 500's optical compressor circuit is key for balancing your dynamics and adding polish. Optical compressors have a very natural and musical response, perfect for bass. You get simple threshold and ratio controls to fine-tune compression depth and intensity. No need to fuss with attack and release times. The optical design responds perfectly to the bass signal for transparent leveling and smoothing. Engage the compressor to even out inconsistencies in your playing, fatten up sustain or add punch to your lines. It's an invaluable tool for controlling your dynamics. Built-in D.I. Out and AUX In for Recording and Practice In addition to its killer analog tone, the M 500 comes equipped with features that make it ideal both in the studio and for practice. The balanced D.I. out lets you plug straight into the PA or interface for recording, with a pre/post EQ switch to optimize your signal. The AUX input is perfect for jamming along with backing tracks or a drum machine. And the headphone jack lets you practice silently anytime. On stage or in the studio, the M 500 provides the great tone and flexibility bassists need.
