Markbass Little Mark Vintage

The Little Mark Vintage amplifier is the result of many years of experience and has been designed to truly give everyone the ability to have their own sound, regardless of needs or personal taste. In fact, it offers plenty of sonic options and features to satisfy all bassists, whether they are looking for a modern or vintage sound. This instrument is from the Gold Line series, a top-of-the-range range offering the highest quality, recognisable by a stunning new look that marks a new era for Markbass. The amplifier features gold-plated circuitry and carefully selected components. So all bassists' favourite elements will be in truly top quality!

Tube preamp
The Little Mark Vintage features a tube preamp that delivers a rich and warm sound, full of harmonic tones.

Limiter
This knob offers a modern sound when you dial it all the way to the right, and if you leave it at zero, it provides a vintage sound with the typical distortion you get when the Limiter effect is really low. And of course you can have all the sounds in between.

New EQ settings and a three-position switch
The four-band EQ in the Little Mark Vintage has new frequency center settings, all of which are tuned to provide a balanced sound that easily passes through the final mix. Plus, there's a three-position switch with three useful EQ presets that instantly give you a flat FLAT setting, a CUT setting with clipped mids and pulled-out bass and treble, and finally an OLD setting with clipped highs to give you that old vintage tone.

A real DI Box
The amp features a symmetrical DI output with a transformer that is optimized to give a pure, full, rich and linear sound at all frequencies. Although the Little Mark heads were already equipped with a high-end DI circuit, the transformer alone boosts the DI output and offers a true DI Box in this amp that can handle extreme swings without distorting or colouring the sound in any way.

The top-of-the-line features of the Gold Line series
As befits the Gold Line series, the Little Mark Vintage amplifier features gold-plated circuitry and top-of-the-line, choice components that deliver the cleanest, purest sound imaginable.

Mute and EQ shutdown
MUTE, which can be activated by a footswitch, is one of the most requested features as bassists want to tune or change instruments in peace. The Dual Footswitch, which can be purchased separately, also offers the ability to turn the EQ section off and on.

MPT - Mark Proprietary Technology
Almost all basses on the market use the same amp end section, albeit from different manufacturers, which is not designed with bassists in mind. Marco DeVirgiliis of Markbass has invested a considerable amount of research and development to create a proprietary amplifier end section technology that is specifically designed to respect and celebrate the tone of your instrument.
