 MARK VISION
A Word from Marco De Virgiliis

Thank you for choosing the DV MICRO head!

In the years i made Markbass a world leader brand in the bass amps segment, using technology to better serve bass players needs: great tone, reliability,
versatility/flexibility and light weight. all those elements made their lives way easier!

Now it’s guitar players turn… with the new DV MICRO heads I created an exciting new chapter in guitar amplification history, being the first to introduce such
a kind of guitar products design that marked a new standard for ultra-portable and great sounding amps, offering to guitar players plenty of
power and serious headroom.

This amp also feature a Dual Voltage Switch 120V/240V (not available on the 100V version manufactured for Japan) to use the amp in countries with
different voltages, without having to carry an external converter!

At DV Mark, we invested a lot of resouces in R&D to develope a proprietary power amp, designed to respect and glorify the tone of your instrument.
So enjoy my amps, and I invite you to contact us any time with your comments and questions, at info@ dvmark.it.

Channel, together with Aux In and Headphone connections.

DV MICRO 50 Metal

This head is for hard rock and metal players looking for a high gain tone on the Lead Channel. A particularly scooped EQ makes way
easier to get any sound in the heavy style palette. On board Reverb and FX Loop give this little monster anything a metal dude could need.

Timmons and many others. He signed this tube driven DV Micro 50 CMT. A 6205 mini tube in the preamp section gives this head a
different voice,a warm sound and a pleasant overdriven tone while increasing Level even on the Clean Channel.
