Vintage Deluxe

The Vintage Deluxe by Darkglass Electronics is an upgraded version that features warm, tube-like tones of the Microtubes Vintage and adds a 4-band active EQ, Low and High mid frequency switch, parallel output, and balanced line driver. It delivers the natural dynamic response and organic compression of classic tube amps and tape machines, fitting four decades of legendary tones into a compact package.
