Markbass Big Bang 500W Bass Amp Head

Full Description

Small Yet Mighty

The MarkBass Big Bang is compact, narrow and lightweight, which is convenient for carrying to gigs and rehearsals. The Big Bang has all of the popular features of the renowned Little Mark heads, yet at an even smaller size. Don't let its size fool you though, as the Big Bang does exactly as it says - it produces a big, 'explosive' sound for you to rock out with.

VLE & VPF Filters

The MarkBass Big Bang Head has 2 unique filters, which include a VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) and a VPF (Variable Pre-Shaped Filter). The VLE provides higher frequency cut, and allows you to cut highs; offering a more old school bass amp sound. For a less present and warmer sound, turn the VLE right up and you'll shape your ideal tone. The VPF allows you to cut mids and boost your bass and treble for a v shaped sound; providing a brighter, tighter and lighter sound.
