The Little Mark Vintage 58R bass amp head from Markbass gives you vintage tube tone and modern features in a lightweight, portable package. Designed for serious bassists seeking rich, warm vintage tone and flexibility, this 500-watt amp head is ideal for any style.
Vintage Tube Tone
At the heart of the Little Mark Vintage´s tone is an all-tube preamp section with a 12AX7 tube. This gives your bass signal a warm, harmonically rich character with smooth overdrive when you push the gain. You can dial in the perfect amount of tube warmth and grit using the amp´s gain and limiter controls. The limiter also allows you to shape the amp´s dynamic response for a modern or vintage feel.
A Limiter Control Provides Vintage Grit or Modern Clarity
The Little Mark Vintage 58R gives you a limiter control to adjust the amp´s dynamic response. Turn the control up for a clean, modern limiting effect or turn it down for vintage-style distortion. The limiter control lets you find the perfect blend of vintage grit and modern clarity to suit your needs.
A 4-Band EQ Provides Useful Presets
Shape your tone with the Little Mark Vintage 58R´s 4-band EQ, which features bass, mid low, mid high and treble controls. The EQ also includes three useful presets: Flat for an uncolored tone, Cut to scoop the mids and boost lows and highs and Old to roll off the highs for a darker vintage sound. The presets make it easy to quickly access classic bass tones.
A DI Output and Mute Switch Offer Convenience
The Little Mark Vintage 58R provides a balanced DI output with a level control to send your tone directly to front-of-house mixers and recording interfaces. A Pre/Post EQ switch lets you send the DI signal before or after the EQ. A footswitchable mute switch allows for silent tuning on stage. The DI out and mute switch add convenience for performing and recording bassists.
Thoughtfully Designed
The Little Mark Vintage´s front panel provides an intuitive layout with all controls within easy reach. It includes a mute switch for silent tuning or switching basses and an optional footswitch to remotely activate the mute function or turn the EQ on and off. Markbass´s proprietary power amp technology provides plenty of clean headroom and a fast, tight bass response. An eco-friendly design and durable, lightweight construction round out this vintage-flavored amp head built for the working bassist. Plug into the Little Mark Vintage 58R and experience rich tube tone and modern functionality in a portable powerhouse.
