All-Tube Signal Path Produces Authentic Vintage Tone

The Markbass Vintage Pre features an all-tube signal path, including a single 12AX7 preamp tube that provides the warmth, depth and richness associated with vintage tube amplifiers. Its gain knob controls the amount of tube saturation, allowing you to dial in anything from a clean and clear sound to a harmonically rich overdrive. Offering two types of distortion (selectable via footswitch), the amount of drive tone, ranging from crunchy overdrive to aggressive distortion is controlled by the drive pot. The blend control allows to mix the drive tone with the clean signal of the tube preamp, while the tone knob adjusts high end response to suit your instrument and style.

The Markbass Vintage Pre is easy to operate while providing a wide range of usable tones. Its blend control blends clean and overdriven sounds, while the tone knob shapes the overall EQ. The gain knob controls the amount of tube saturation and the volume control adjusts the output level to match your amp or other pedals.
