KEY POINTS 

> TUBE PREAMP

The Little Mark Vintage features a Tube Preamp, to get rich and warm tone full of harmonics.

> LIMITER CONTROL

This control offers a modern reaction of the limiter when you set it all the way up, or put it down to zero to create that old generation behavior with its typical distortion you get when the limiter effect is really low, and of course you can also get everything in between.

> NEW EQ SETTING / 3-WAY SWITCH

The 4 Bands EQ of the Little Mark Vintage have a new setting on frequencies center, all tuned to offer a pretty balanced tone that easily cuts in the mix, plus a 3-WAY switch with three useful EQ preset options to get very quickly a real FLAT setting, a CUT one with scooped Mids and enhanced Low and High and an OLD one with scooped High to get an old vintage style tone.

>REAL DI BOX

The BALANCED DI OUT with transformer is optimized to give pure, full, rich, linear sound on all frequencies. Although Little Mark amp heads already feature high-quality DI circuitry, the transformer upgrades the DI performance offering a real DI box inside the head, handling extreme transients without introducing any distortion or coloration.

> MODERN CLASSIC WINNING AESTHETIC

This new amp features all the connections and controls on the front panel including a convenient mute switch, along with the DI level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA with Pre-Post EQ switch to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as required, leaving on the rear panel only the speaker outs and AC power socket, making everything more practical and with a winning aesthetic.

> MUTE AND ON/OFF EQ

Footswitchable MUTE is one of the most requested features in order to tune or switch an instrument in a silent way. The optional Dual Footswitch also allows to turn ON/OFF the EQ section.

> MPT - Mark Proprietary Technology

Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

> ECO-FRIENDLY

It’s time to think about the future; focus on the product and on the natural environment that surrounds it.

> BEST QUALITY, RIGHT PRICE

The new series of products MB58R has an incredible strength point: high quality and innovation at the right price.
