Darkglass Microtubes Infinity

"The Microtubes Infinity shares the footmark of our programmable line, packed with our three legendary Microtubes distortions: B3K, Vintage, and X. Moreover, it allows multiband compression on every mode, blending Impulse responses between distortions while adding extra controls via the Darkglass suite for an endless number of features: An infinity of possibilities."

This seems to be a good concept for the digi line (at last).

It's the best bit of any DG launch! :D 

 

That being said - I actually like the idea of this one. But as it's probably going to be about £550 I won't be having one.

 

This is a digital product - so they could have stuck the Alpha / Omega stuff in it as well, but that might stop people buying the Photon.

Not in the fan girl camp as I’ve never owned anything Darkglass but this is the best effects unit I’ve ever seen in terms of it would do exactly everything I personally need, nothing more, nothing less. It looks theoretically like it was made for me.
 

Not sure at that price if “I’ve never owned anything darkglass” is in danger of changing.

I agree. I wonder how much of a compromise it would be to include a decent octave and maybe chorus. I think it would get a lot of people over the line to actually purchasing it.

Silly. That’ll be in the Ultra version… yours for £599!

Sounds really good tbh

 

and yes the drives are very dg but also with the eq it’s not as set in stone. 
 

im not using the di or ir but the dual outputs are letting me split my signal and send a clean compressed signal out to front of house but also then send them make use of the drives the midi switching is cool (now that I have a type A midi cable)

I have a question about the Infinity. I saw a review that stated the compressor only compressed the low end and not the high end. I know as standard on the DG Microtubes Ultra it only compresses the low end but if you hold down the bypass switch you can engage it to full band compression. Does the Inifinity have options to allow full band or low band, or are there no options?

Ah, that's not so good. I had the same issue with the BK7 when I tried it. Loved the videos but when I played it with a band it just sunk the bass into the back. Videos sounded lovely. 

Can I ask, did you replace it with anything else and if so what did you pick? Just curious.

Hey Guys, i recently bought the infinity and i am amazed! One thing though is a bit odd and i cant find a solution yet. If i use it in bypass mode and re-activate it, it will go back to the Slot which was used before going into bypass mode. This is in my case a bummer, because i use all 3 settings for optional purposes and really want to get directly to Slot C when i stomp on C and not (for instance) A because it was used before. Any hints? Same is for Perfomance Lock Mode ...
