- NANO MARK II – Ultra-portable Amp Head With Bi-band Limiter
The NANO MARK II has evolved from our Nano Mark 300 amplifier, adding many useful features. It keeps the same powerful sound in an ultra-compact size and same lightweight package of its famous predecessor (only 3.20lbs/1.45 kg). The new bi-band limiter featured on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing, giving a more natural sound. Plus, thanks to an optional single footswitch you can easily have access to a scooped-mid EQ setting and quickly get a tight tone for slap or pick bass!
KEY POINTS
Power-to-weight ratio / ultra-portable amp
NANO MARK II is a professional grade amp weighing only 3.20 lbs / 1.45 kg and has an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio with 300W from its MPT power amp in a remarkably small and lightweight package. This amp is perfect for bassists searching for portability without sacrificing the rich and warm tones unique to Markbass.
Simple design
This amp is ideal or those who need a myriad of tone shaping on the go. Thanks to its simple and effective controls you can get a clear, loud, defined EQ resulting in an authentic reproduction of your bass guitar’s sound. Scooped-mid EQ ideal for slap and pick bass tones are available using an optional single footswitch connected to the dedicated input on the rear panel.
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.
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 a proprietary power amp technology in house. When compared against the competition, all Markbass amps feel unique, with a more defined sound and more power. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.
