Markbass Little Mark Gen Z H0 500W bass guitar amplifier head

General

With the Markbass Little Mark Gen Z H0 500W bass guitar amplifier head, you’ll spend less time setting it up and more time playing. This compact, lightweight head combines the signature Markbass sound with controls inspired by software plug-ins: simply select a sound preset and get started. The proprietary MPT power amp delivers 500 watts RMS and is specifically designed for bass guitar. It’s all about a fast response to your playing, a solid low end and clear definition. Whether you’re on stage or working on a recording, this head keeps the controls straightforward without compromising your tonal possibilities.

Twelve tone settings at your fingertips

At the heart of the Little Mark Gen Z H0 is the 12-position TONE dial. This allows you to choose from carefully crafted EQ curves, organised into three tone families. Flat offers a pure, natural starting point; Modern gives you a more aggressive sound with reduced mid-range; and Vintage delivers a warm, vintage character. This means you don’t have to start tweaking your sound from scratch every time. You also have five analogue controls at your disposal: Gain, Low, High, Volume and DI Level. These allow you to adjust the input level, low and high frequencies, and volume, amongst other things, so you can respond quickly to your instrument and the room.

Handy for practising, recording and performing

This top-of-the-range Markbass comes in handy off stage too. You can play along with backing tracks via the Aux In, whilst the Phones Out allows you to practise with headphones. Handy for at home, a backstage warm-up or working out new parts. Meanwhile, the Smart Glow Input provides visual feedback: the illuminated input indicates that the amplifier is switched on and flashes when the input signal clips. This means you can see, even on a dark stage, when you need to turn down the gain or volume of your instrument. The compact, lightweight design also makes this amp practical for musicians who are regularly on the move.
