INPUT

The input jack (1) accepts an unbalanced signal from your bass via a standard 1/4” instrument cable.

gAIN

The GAIN (2) control determines how much signal is passed through the clean section of the preamp. If playing through the amp causes the red CLIP (3) light to turn on at all, you should turn down the GAIN (2)

control to avoid distortion.

PURe PARAmeTRIC fIlTeR

The PURE PARAMETRIC FILTER (7, 9, 11) is a true parametric EQ control that allows you to cut or boost a frequency of your choice between 60 Hz and 2 kHz, to accurately tweak your sound to perfection.

The LEVEL (7) knob boosts or cuts the frequency of your choice by up to 16 decibels.

The FREQ (9) knob determines the center frequency of the range to be controlled.

The Q (11) knob controls the range or width of frequency controlled from 0.5 to 8.

eQUAlIZATION

Markbass gear is designed to faithfully reproduce the natural sound of your bass. If you have a good instrument, very little equalization (EQ)—if any—should be required. Bass guitars produces a surprisingly wide

range of frequencies—from extremely low frequencies that are more felt than heard, to extremely high frequencies that pass through your cabinet’s tweeter and are barely audible to the human ear.

As you experiment with your EQ settings, you will notice that all the dierent frequency ranges play essential roles in making up your bass tone:
