I have been using the Multiamp for a month now with a 10 piece band and can assure you there is plenty of headroom.

Saw the Multiamp on MB's website, the only thing I can find out there is this: Invalid Link Removed
DV Mark?

It's been like this since 2007 when the LMII was the greatest thing since sliced bread. They haven't gotten it together in 6 years...
The LMIII page has 3 sentences on it. I feel like they could add a little more substance pretty easily.

He's being very quiet and coy about it and I assume his copy is pre-production and therefor needs some more dev?

I would not bet on a lot of them in GC. Been in there lately? The stores in Atl have huge quantities of really cheap gear and not much of anything else.
Some of the MarkBass stuff is really good. MB did away with some of the cool stuff though. I think they had too many good ideas too fast. Seems like MarkBass should have waited longer on the MoMark stuff since they had just introduced all the new cool heads Like LMIII, F500, etc.... but they discontinued a bunch of stuff, came out with even more new micros and the MoMark. Just too much too fast I think.
Unfortunately the MarkBass power section does not fair well into an 8 ohm load, not sure why. They kick butt into 4 ohms so I suspect this unit has that same spongy squishy problem as all the others in 8 ohms.
I cannot see many bass players wanting a Swiss Army amp. These have never been popular with most low downers. Many bass players need one really good tone. They really do have some cool products though so I suspect we will see more from them in the future.
I own the LM800 and it's a really great head. Seems like MB would explore a different power section after issuing 800 different versions of front ends.

So these things came and went without much peep? I just noticed they're discontinued on the Markbass site. That's a shame, I really wanted to try one.
They introduced an updated version last year. The old ones are the discontinued line.
