KEY POINTS

• MARK OF NINJA: The Little Mark IV Ninja sound is warm and natural and respects the tone of your instrument without compromise, perfectly aligned with the vision of Richard Bona and Marco De Virgiliis.
• UPDATED 4 BAND EQ, OLD SCHOOL FILTER, 3 WAY SWITCH: Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs – giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the ‘FSW’ option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch.
• 1000W high-power / ultimate dynamics: This high-power head gets amplified by a potent 1000W MPT power amp. The Little Mark IV Ninja boasts large supply of power and serious headroom with exceptionally clear sound and ultimate dynamics at any volume you play!
• BI-BAND LIMITER: Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end “breathe” for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.
• MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ SWITCH: Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch, along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing you to set the XLR output’s routing to before or after your EQ as required.
• MPT – MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY: Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.
