MICROTUBES INFINITY: USER GUIDE

COMPRESSOR 

This control allows setting the input 

gain of the compressor that will 

translate into how much the signal is 

compressed while our intelligent make-

up gain algorithm keeps the output of 

the compressor at usable levels. The 

compressor has 5 ratios available: 

4:1

8:1

12:1

20:1

 and

 ALL IN

DISTORTION 

The  Microtubes  Infinity  has  5  different 

preamp modes; a clean multi-band tube 

preamp, Microtubes B3K and Vintage 

Microtubes distortions in both normal 

and multi-band modes. 

CABINET SIMULATION 

The Microtubes Infinity supports Impulse 

Response (IR) cabinet simulations and 

has 5 cabinet slots on board. The default 

IRs have been selected by the Darkglass 

Team. New IRs can be assigned to the 5 

slots using the Darkglass Suite (desktop 

or mobile).

BLEND 

The blend control allows you to mix the distorted/

preamp signal with the clean sidechain signal. 

Depending on the distortion/preamp setting the 

clean sidechain is either full-band or low-band signal.

EQ 

Last in the signal chain is a programmable 6-band 

graphic equalizer that allows you to tailor your sound 

even further. The full description of this functionality 

can be found in the “Controls” section of the manual.

CONTROLS  

SMART POTENTIOMETERS 

On  the  Microtubes  Infinity,  you  will  find  five  smart 

potentiometers: 

Compression, Drive, Mod, Blend, 

and Level

. These potentiometers are the main 

interface for sculpting the signal chain and your 

overall sound on the Microtubes Infinity. 

The 

COMPRESSION potentiometer

 is the one-

knob solution for compression on the Microtubes 

Infinity.  This  controls  the  amount  of  input  gain  to 

the compressor and intelligently applies the correct 

amount of makeup gain so that your signal is always 

driven at the appropriate level, no matter how much 

compression is applied.
