Killer amp here, but as usual Im just looking to switch things up a bit. No issues at all with this amp.

This amp was made for EBMM by MarkBass.

It features 500 watts at 4 ohms. Tube pre. The really cool thing is that it has TWO footswitchable preamp channels with 4 band EQs. The footswitch is a 4 button: MUTE, BOOST, EQ BYPASS, CHANNEL 1/2. EQ centers are: Bass-100Hz, Mid Bass-400Hz, Mid-800Hz, and High-12.5KHz.

Also has the "LVR" knob, which can be used like on overall tone knob, or to emulate vintage amp tone.

Other features are balanced DI out(with pre/post option and line level), two 1/4" outs, 1 speakon out, and an onboard compressor.

As far as trades, Im looking only for amps in similar price range. Open to adding a little cash if needed. Cash money, I want $550 packed, shipped, and insured to the Cont US.

Let me know what you have.

I just sold this amp. I bought it off off Bass Central used but GAS got me and I got the Mesa I have now which I am now selling..............

This amp is clean, powerful and VERY well built. On the back it says it is made in Italy and if you take the time to look under the hood you can see the quality. This is a good deal for this amp that I believe retailed in the 1000.00 range.

^bump^ for a good deal.

Thanks for the words. Wish I had the cash to swing that Mesa.

So wait, is this a solid state power amp section with a tube preamp section?

How would you describe this amp? Fat, Warm, and vintage? Or Articulate, Cutting, hi-fi, and punchy? Or somewhere in between?

In all honestly, between the tube pre, solid state power, the and the "LVR" knob, it can cop all the tones above.
