SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1.
A Word from Marco De Virgiliis MARK VISION Thank you for choosing DV Mark! We are very excited to have you join us for an exciting new chapter in the history of guitar amplification. In less than 10 years, we have succeeded in making Markbass the world’s leading bass amp brand, using technology to better serve the needs of bassists: great tone, reliability, versatility/flexibility, and light weight.
FRONT PANEL 1) INPUT – Connect your guitar to this input using a standard ¼” shielded instrument cable. CLEAN CHANNEL (solid state) 2) GAIN – This knob sets the gain level of the CLEAN channel. This is a solid state channel that provides clean amplification without distortion, even at high volumes. 3) LOW – This knob controls the amount of low frequencies in your sound.
LEAD CHANNEL (tube) 8) GAIN – This knob sets the gain level of the LEAD channel. This is a tube channel that features four ECC83 preamp tubes. This control will determine the amount of drive or saturation in your sound, ranging from crunch to overdriven lead sounds, or anywhere in between. 9) LOW – see (3). 10) MID – see (4). 11) HIGH – see (5). 12) PRESENCE – see (6). 13) MASTER – This control is the master feed from the end of the LEAD preamp channel to the solid state power stage.
18) ON/OFF – This switch delivers AC power to the amp. Make sure the unit is grounded; all three terminals of the AC power plug must be connected to avoid any injury to the user or damage to the unit. DV Mark amps and combos are manufactured to be used in the country where they have been sold, and are factory preset to that country’s voltage. So make sure you’re sending the correct voltage to your amp before you connect it to AC power.
REAR PANEL 19) SPEAKER OUTS – You can connect an extension speaker cabinet to this combo using a 1/4” speaker cable (do not use an instrument cable). These outs are in parallel, the combo’s internal speaker impedance is 16 ohms, and the total minimum load is 4 ohms. So before connecting an external speaker, make sure its impedance is not less than 6 ohms.
