LITTLE MARK's LEGACY CONTINUES!
The new Little Mark IV amps add some amazing features to our flagship Markbass Little Mark III
amplifier, an industry standard for tone, portability and value. The new bi-band limiter featured
on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing. Its paired with a 500 watt
power amp providing impeccable bass frequency reproduction thanks to our MPT proprietary amp
specifically designed for bass. In addition the Little Mark IV features a mute switch, and the
3 way switch that that includes the options of a Flat,
Scooped or FSW (Footswitchable) EQ options.
Little Marks legacy
Since our beginning 20 years ago, Markbass pioneered small amp design with its "Little Mark"
series creating an industry standard thanks to their amp's compact size, light weight, along
with its signature warm and natural sound. That legacy has been preserved with the Little
Mark IV, and has evolved to include the addition of new features requested by many of our
artists and customers.
Updated 4 band EQ, Old School filter, 3 way switch
Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find
the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the
tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high
frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose
between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the
lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute
and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch.
Bi-band limiter
Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional
limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads
the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.
MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ switch
Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch,
along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent
to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing you to set the XLR output's
routing to before or after your EQ as required.
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.
