For you MoMark owners, I don't see the graphic EQ module on MF or GC's websites.

Has anyone heard the difference between the T1M and the T1M-HE ?
Tube preamp which is black or high-end tube preamp which is white.
Yes, I have both and there's no audible difference but better components in the HE so maybe it will last long.
Who would of ever thought you could practically build your own bass amp head? Everything (as far as technology is concerned) is getting smaller, better, faster. But I think the music industry is the last to catch up in that regards.
I picked up the 800 watt amp frame, tube pre-amp, 7-band graphic EQ and the 4-knob Master module with both of the Markbass tone-shaping filters. I initially purchased the 500-watt amp frame and it didn't give the kick I wanted to my Markbass Traveler cabs. So I eventually upgraded to the 800-watter and it really packs a great punch.
But if you're familiar with pro-audio and studio equipment, then you would know the module technology has been around for years now in the form of the 500 Series. But most of the studio modules are way overpriced. You could pay $800+ for a 1-channel pre-amp. For that kind of money, you're better off getting a 16-channel Soundcraft or Allen-Heath mixer with direct-outs for each channel.
What really sold me on the MoMark head was not only can you customize your amp head, but that it's small and lightweight. I just put it in my backpack along with my cables, tuner, power strip, strap etc. For years I was using a big SKB case with a heavy SWR head, plus rackmount Monster power conditioner and rackmount SansAmp tube emulator. After that, plus the cabinets, it would weigh down my ride.
Overall, I'm really happy with the portable power of the MoMark.
