Markbass

Description

The TTE 501/TTE 801 looks and sounds vintage—but features some special adaptations of the Markbass innovations like the Tube Technology Emulator (TTE), giving the amp even more tubey warmth.

Your sound comes into this beauty through an old-style tube preamp, is fed through a professional tube compressor, then a simple 3-band passive EQ section, a “Colour” filter (a tube adaptation of the famous Markbass VLE control), and then finally gets amplified by an innovative Tube Technology Emulator power amp. But there's no better way to understand “Modern Vintage” than to plug in the amps and let the tone explains itself!

    Ok, if your looking for power, you got it. Portable yep. If you already got pedals and effects and just need a good sounding head then yes. I paired this with the New Yorker 112 and this thing rules. I use it for everything. Even in big venues just mic it or DI no need for a 1000 watt 8x10. Stop fooling yourselves. 90% of the time the sound guy walks up and DI's you so why carry all that stuff. My rig doesn't even come up to my knee, it's great I feel liberated from big heavy gear.

    Super sounding head! Running (2) 2 x 10's vertical MB stack. Lots of compliments. 3 tube pre and compression tube makes for a sweet setup.
