Combo amplifier with head MarkBass Combohead (Little Mark II)
Power 280 W version, with 450 W tandable baffle supplmentaire
4-band equalizer: low, low, mid, high-mid, high with + /-16dB each
2 filters: VLE and VPF (its vintage and rock, respectively)
XLR line out
Tuner Output (or to any other device ncessitant assymtrique unamplified output).
effects loop
2 speaker outputs (which uses a dj)
Between symtrique XLR
Between instrument with gain entrerglable manually (can adapt the power of the instrument.
Fully dmontable head.
Weight 13.3kg!
LED indicator saturation
UTILIZATION
It can hardly be simpler with the use of an amplifier of such power. The only adjustment that takes some concentration is the gain of rglage. Then it only remains that refine SETTING THE legalization and filters (if needed) in order to obtain his wish.
The filter VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) cuts the high frequencies and retains low and medium level frquences to simulate a vintage sound.
The filter VPF (Variable Preshape Filter) will cut mdiums and will boost the low and high frequencies. The FFT filter will be used for a heavy sound that fits in the rock, hip hop or any style requiring a very heavy sound. This filter is effective and trs will delight fans of the slap.
The manual provided is somewhat succinct. Distinctness between The models described on the manual is not simply enter trs. There is no information regarding the technical chamber (filtering, dimensions and other CHARACTERISTICS).
SOUNDS
Here is the critical aspect of this amp. First of all, what impresses most is the sound power DGIG the baffle. Given the weight and size of this combo I struggled to believe my ears when the master volume n'tait not even half. Some criticize that this amp is too powerful. In my case, I assume that "who can do more can do less", and this amp is the "most" with incredible efficiency. I understand why so many artists have chosen to rename these amps.
Sound by dlivr combo is not as neutral as MarkBass wants us to believe. The trsrputette LittleMark II has its capacitsrduites by the size of the box. Indeed, the bass is trs Submitted, sometimes dtriment of mdiums. The sounds range of combos suprieur (121H and 151) are much more convincing.
The piezo tweeter dlivre lot of breath and lack of precision. I replaced a tweeter compression Monacor HT-30 (17 "speaker of the house"). The dimensions of this compression is done all it can be adapted and will integrate without much resume insertion. In addition, it Yadji a circuit filter upstream of the tweeter, with a coupling capacitor required to remove any DC component and a high pass filter. Compression can be connected without modification supplmentaire. The breath is therefore deleted and found an acute claret amazing!
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for over a year. Work in a quiet home the rptition, this amp is meant to be comfortable in countless situations. In concert, this combo will be discreet and trs has surprised many ing their relative performance.
What j'apprcie most is the weight / power ratio unbeatable this amp. When you know the sound power dlivre it, I can not believe it can still be as lightweight! Now I wonder what other amp manufacturers make 30 kg see her sometimes with a less potent ... Would I rat something? More srieusement, Markbass has dvelopper a new technique for transforming the electric current with a new type of processor technology combines numrique. It's just that the weight gain and an extraordinary stroke Reduces clutter can be too.
Unfortunately, all this would be too good if there was not fault this amp. The main inconvnient of this amp is the coldness of his dlivr and breath of the piezo tweeter mount home. The head flange ComboHead its capabilities by the size of the box and the technical choices Contents of sound reproduction. Just compare this head with another box to see the diffrence impressive!
For an amp small in size, so Fate also work alone at home, we also regret the lack of headphone jack, so simple design technically.
Overall, this amp will be most versatile depending on the situation, the power both at appointment. The most demanding of its Contents is a bit frustrated by the lack of personality that is correctable, however rvle cheaply.
The quality dpassent Submitted by far the few technical default. At this price, it is certain that it is an excellent investment for the vast majority of bassists. Over time, all the same I prfrerais acqurir a combo of the range suprieur for their sound more convincing. However, the weight and size of this combo is more trs apprciable when to wear it over a few meters.
