i use it for about 1 year now on 99% of my gigs.
i play mostly in a group with sax/fl/cl, vl, vlc, p, db.
the micromark
has to sit on the floor to get enough bass. it sits right behind the bass most of the time, so the amp blends with the bass. the ampsound on it´s own is not very variable because it has only volume and that VPF filter. i found a position of the VPF where the amp sound is
ok , blended with the bass it sounds so, that many people don´t realize that i use an amp. (+because they can´t see it
)
the sound from the headphone-out is very good. (i use a dyn-b on my main bass, FC sounds also very good), never checked the DI, but i think it sounds ok too.
i use the amp in rooms up to 1000 people and am always very happy with it. but this is always (louder, but) acoustic music i play, and the large rooms are mostly goood-sounding concert-halls.
lately i used it in a trio with a quite drummer and missed no volume at all.
and i´m very happy with the small size and weight of the micromark, when i come home from the gig, going up two stairs late at night, with my complete equipment in one trip.
before buying i compared it with using an A/B-switch with my GKMB150 and was very surprised with the volume.
i think you have to be careful to what you compare this amp, and what you expect from it, but for me and my (maybe special) needs it´s perfect
