Frederic Yves Michel NOEL review about the Microtubes 500 V2 Iku-Turso

πŸŽ›οΈ What Is the Limited Edition Iku-Turso?

The Limited Edition Iku-Turso refers to a rare version of the Darkglass Microtubes 500 V2 bass amplifier head. It was part of a strictly limited run of only 200 units worldwide, designed in collaboration with the artist Iku-Turso, known for his dark, mythic-inspired artwork and ties to the black metal music scene.

This version features custom graphics and a unique finish, but functionally it’s identical to the standard Microtubes 500 V2.


🧠 What Makes It Special?

  • Limited to 200 units worldwide.

  • Features custom artwork by Iku-Turso.

  • Collector-focused β€” aimed at players who want standout aesthetics alongside top-tier tone.

  • Not a separate model, but a custom housing of the standard Microtubes 500 V2 amp.


πŸ“¦ Iku-Turso: The Name

  • Iku-Turso is a figure from Finnish mythology β€” a sea monster or dark spirit β€” and also the name of a black metal artist involved in this collaboration.

  • Darkglass is a Finnish brand, so this collaboration ties together myth, art, and tone in a distinctly regional way.
