It’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it – introducing the new B1K distortion pedal

It takes a lot of people and drive to engineer a device: mechanical and electronics engineers, designers hungry to piece together a fine-looking gadget, plenty of prototyping, and the thirst to innovate. It must always be a step up.

We wanted to pack our legendary distortion pedal into a portable, functional, instinctive, and reliable form factor.

Smaller, but with intuitive and easy access to all controls. Smaller, but with massive tonal characteristics.
Smaller, but far from a low-grade device.
Smaller, straightforward, and phenomenal.

The Microtubes B1K is a phenomenal tribute to one of the most legendary distortion circuits in a compact and intuitive format.

Back Tone
Controls the high frequency content of the sound. A variable low pass filter from 3 kHz to 8 kHz. Turn CCW for a brighter sound.

Toggle switches

Power
The Microtubes B1K has a current draw of 30 mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to ecological reasons, it does not accept batteries. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
