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. 2) 0/-6dB SWITCH This switch pads the input (1) from 0 dB to -6 dB to compensate for higher-output sources, such as guitars with highoutput pickups or active electronics. 3) GAIN This knob sets the gain level (on each channel), and is the preamp’s most powerful control.
the highs need to be set a bit lower than the other channels, especially for soloing. 9) SOLO This 6 dB boost is activated by either a footswitch or the Smart Controller, and is optimized for notching up your volume for solos during live performance. The SOLO control can only be engaged when the effects loop is active, since it’s part of the effects loop circuit. 10) STANDBY Before powering on, make sure this switch is in standby position.
REAR PANEL 12) SPEAKER OUTS The amp offers the following speaker output jacks for connecting the head to a speaker cabinet or cabinets: two 8 ohm (or, for one 4 ohm cab, use either of these jacks), two 16 ohm (or, for one 8 ohm cab, use either of these jacks) and one 16 ohm jack. Verify the impedance of your speaker/s prior to connection, and make sure you are using the correct speaker output/s.
pressed in, the power tubes work in High Bias mode; when the button is depressed, they work in Low Bias mode. In Low Bias mode, the tubes use less power and less ‘tube life’ is taken out of them. High Bias mode gives top quality and power, and higherfidelity sound—but the power consumption and dissipation of the tubes increases. In either mode, unlike other tube amplifiers, the Bad Boy 120 / Triple 6 is able to greatly prolong the life of its tubes by keeping them optimally biased at all times.
