    Surprising, comprehensive, lightweight

    Markbass Mini CMD 121PPublished on 12/07/14 at 06:34
    I have lots of heavy gear, so I opted for this one due to its weight.
    After several months of use, I can confirm its good performance.
    A 15-incher will certainly go deeper, but it's unbeatable in terms of weight.
    I have tried it out in situations for which it certainly wasn't foreseen.
    It sounds clear and precise with a double bass...and it also sounds fine with an MP3 player.
    Especially due to the limiter, which is very effective and prevents the amp from exceeding its limits.
    The folding Velcro wedge to position the amp is very useful. It couldn't be easier.
    Its only negative point is the price.

    a negative point, the power sends a lot of noise on the sector, which can disrupt the listening tuner or some amps or pramplis

    SONORITS

    Unlike what is said, the Markbass is not neutral and does not respect as has the sound of your bass (just compare the best hifi speakers or monitor to be convinced)
    the sound is amazing by the deep bass that comes out but it's too muted, and acute medium is not really exciting
    the application of a liquid absorbing Visaton LTS50 (on sale House Speaker Paris) on the black dome of 12 "will partially correct some acute medium resonances
    I 've also chosen to delete the damping wool in the box (it is to simulate a larger load in serious but has serious consequences on the medium), cabinet that I slightly damped with Blackson: the serious will lose a bit deep but be more growl and medium bcp will be warmer and more alive
    I have finally vir the piezo and replaced by a small compression HT-30 at conrad electronic

    In the end, for approx. 50 fee, a good amp, j 'shut unable to play in the basic version as the sound' m not inspire

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    In the end, power / weight / correct price with my edit.
    currently it has no equivalent for displacements in metro, can do the trick for a very wide range of gigs, c is its main reason for being
    the head of this combo is just the famous littlemark2, that can completely detach with a screwdriver
    I give only 7 because many bass players and bass players waiting for this kind of amp for years, the precursor having t MB150 Gallien, but I have found the inoperable basic version and the 12 "most exciting competitors and less expensive (SWR workingman12 Roland cube100b, etc ...)

    300W solid-state.

    USE

    Easy, you can get almost any sound.
    It sounds just as god with a bass as with a double bass.

    SOUND

    Alls types of sounds, I prefer the round sound or a Marcus Miller one to slap. I play a Rick, a Jazz Bass us 5C deluxe, a Jazz Bass 78, a Squier Precision, and a Vigier. Always faithful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Four years

    What I love: Its weight and value for money

    It's also sturdy because mine fell twice off a table and still works perfectly.

    Very easy to amplify via the XLR output.

    It's an ideal amp for small clubs, coffee shops, restaurants, etc.

    Ass-kicking!

    Markbass Mini CMD 121PPublished on 03/03/14 at 04:08
    Everything has been said in the previous reviews, it's 300W or 500W solid-state amp with an additional cab.
    I added to it a 2x10 cab to rival my guitarist's tube amp + 4x12 cab.
    This also spares me having to crank the volume to max, since I always like to have some extra power reserve.

    USE

    It's very easy to use, If you are looking for an all-purpose combo with tuner, USB port, parametric EQ, 2 channels, built-in overdrive, etc., you'll need to look elsewhere.
    But it was exactly this simplicity I was looking for. If I ever need different sounds then I turn to my pedalbard.

    SOUND

    What I love about it is that it doesn't alter the sound of my instrument.
    The combo has a good dynamic response, it doesn't sound muddy.
    I also bought the MarkStand, at first just to see how it works, but it has proven very good for small venues to increase the diffusion of low frequencies and reduce the reflections from the ground, the sound is more precise.

    The EQ's frequencies (360Hz and 800Hz) are ideal for my music style.
    I use the MarkBass filters with caution:
    - VLE allows me to remove the tweeter's noise
    - VPF allows me to cut more or less through the mix depending on the moment and place


    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it one year ago.
    It convinced me after trying it out with my own gear at the store. I also tested the TC BG250-210, SVT BA-115 and Warwick BC-300 combos, besides having played half a dozen of two-part combinations that were either not good enough or out of my budget.

    I also tried out at the store three ABS active PA speakers (between 900€ and 1200€ per unit) to compare electrical and acoustical power.
    To me, this combo delivers the 800-1000W of the ABS speakers and even more, the latter produce muddy lows and have poor dynamics.
    It's a bit like the real temperature and the temperature with wind-chill factor.
    It's hard to cut though the mix with the ABS speakers, whereas the sound of the MarkBass literally pops and has a great diffusion for it size and weight...28.6lbs (13kg).

    The only snag is the access to the inputs-outputs (return, send, tuner, cab), which are hidden on the rear and aimed towards the ground. So you either turn the combo upside down or you lie down to reach them, but once plugged you'd better not need to ouch them again.
    Although, I don't think the engineers had many options trying to design such a compact unit, due to the fan, the vibrations, etc. So, that's not a major issue to me, since I bought it in part due to its compactness.

    Very sturdy and versatile

    Markbass Mini CMD 121PPublished on 08/22/13 at 09:22
    The only thing I can criticize about this model is the accessibility of the loop and other additional connectors (on the rear and below the huge speaker, so you need to turn it upside down if you want to make any changes).
    Other than that, it's a great pal that can handle anything, from roaring to caressing your ears with music of any period.

    USE

    It's very easy to change the sound without the EQ, thanks to the two filters.

    SOUND

    It can handle any sound you want. Some people might reproach it that it's less rock than SWR, less bright than Trace etc...Well, you should buy a Trace or any other brand if that's what you want.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've owned it for one year.
    I've had tons of average gear (gallien, Carvin, etc.) and have used better ones in studios, if you want to make a compromise without compromising and changing amps because tomorrow you play Latin but next week you play metal, there are more expensive but less good options out there.

    Markbass Mini CMD 121PPublished on 07/01/13 at 15:14
    OK, everything has been said before, it lacks a tuner output.

    USE

    No remarks.

    SOUND

    Very, very good sound, it's definitely not a cheap amp that only makes noise.
    Sound is precise, fat enough in the mids when flat. The EQ is pretty effective, you can easily sculpt sound with the 4 bands. Personally I don't use much the VLE and VPF functions. It's very good, but also very natural, which I love.

    I use it with a 5-string Sandberg MM, a G&L Sb2, fretless, ... But also with my double bass and a K&K pickup. It's great.

    However, I prefer the 12-inch model, which is precise, the 18-inch version (which remains pretty good) is a bit too muddy for my taste.

    OVERALL OPINION

    After many years of breaking my back lugging an SWR redhead, I invested on this amp and have never regretted it.
    I've had it for over 2 years and I couldn't do without it. Rehearsals, gigs, bars, big stages...It performs great anywhere and nobody complains when you ask them to give you a hand with the bass amp.
    It's expensive but it's okay ;)

    UTILIZATION

    I have tried with my bass (Ibanez SG500 active) and it never sounded like that, the dynamics are excellent, and the possibilities for incredible sound: marcus miller in new order. So it is to say!
    I use it with my band on stage or in rehearsal. I also use it to record DI directly on my sound card (Fireface UC) to benefit from the excellent preamp of the beast.

    SOUNDS

    As I said, the sound is excellent and completely malleable, round or crystal-clear ... choice.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It completely worth it. If it again, I will redeem the same.
    It is a kind of Swiss Army knife for its size / sound and its ability to report ... but with a katana blade.

    to the right of VPF, a yellow button "line out" to the output level of the management of the studio mixer or PA system.
    just to his right, a blue LED "on" to indicate the power of the combo.
    Finally, a yellow button "master" over and FFT, top right panel, the black button 2 positions "on" to power up the combo.

    UTILIZATION

    for my part, found it rather easy to use ...
    I have not read the manual since I am testing in the store.
    we get all the sounds you want and more!
    In fact, I am not very complicated life, I put the 4 buttons "low" "mid-low" "mid-high" and "high" to 12 and I played with the buttons " VLE "and" FFT "and" gain ", nothing more!

    SOUNDS

    I think this combo is suitable for all bass players, they are metal, jazz, blues or rock.
    I have never heard an amp capable of such versatility, and I mean it!
    with just the two buttons "VLE" and "FFT" on covering all musical needs ... to say it!
    I set the gain on the 2nd step (at 10) and, already, it starts to pull the pants!
    I loved all the sounds because they are all usable, and transplanted into a sound system, you can imagine the madness!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have tried one day, and I'm very happy!
    I rarely found my account in a low amplification, the only one I liked was when I had my Ampeg B2R Ampeg preamp coupled with my Billy Sheehan signature, it sends the heavy my pig!
    I have tried many brands, david eden, nemesis, SWR, Trace Elliot, Ampeg, EBS and other ,.... ....
    Me, I loved everything about this markbass except perhaps the price, but the price he must pay for a sound that quality!
    I find the quality / price excellent!
    I think maybe buy a Markbass but with a lamp in it, because here only gives off a heat of the lamps have!

    APRS jou have on Ampeg, Hartke, Laney, Fender, Peavey, GK, all lamps, hybrid transistors, I finally found the ideal solution.

    A reserve of power hallucinating. I never t beyond rglage third of the volume, and again, just to try because it is untenable in a small room.

    Argument: 13.5 kg!
    In fact I bought it for its size, weight, sound trs little color and secondarily for its power (100W would have sufficed, but the other 100W amps are bigger, heavier and less sound. ..).

    I put 9 because I would have a well liked among post-eq and a small compressor ...

    UTILIZATION

    VPF: prshape a filter that boosts the bass and treble down and the medium gradually
    VLE: a low pass filter which frquence Sets the cutoff.
    A, the palette of sounds is standard and it RULES dj in two seconds.
    If not enough has active equalizer is also effective trs.
    Manuel impeccable. It's people who love what they do who have described, has shows.
    I put 10 because I do not see anything wrong.

    SOUNDS

    I have an Ibanez GSR-180, I play jazz.

    If rglages are neutral, the sound of the amp like the one we have the headphone. Lgre a color (it's not the fi either ...) but not much compared to other brands.
    The bass is a little in comparison to the strait Markbass mini CMD151 example, I would say we feel that the speaker is a bit small ... but again, this speaker size is infinitely better than other brands. Also, I've realized this when I inconvnient able to compare directly with the CMD151 in question.

    For coloring (or lack of color), we like it or not. I like to hear the sound of the bass. Obviously this is not a light amp and there is no compressor. Needless to seek the help of this ct l. ..

    In my opinion it can amplify a trs good electronic drum set, keyboard, or anything else (for a guitar, unless you have a pdalier modlisations with it without perhaps a little limited ...). Probably gnial for bass.

    I put 8 because since I find that when CMD151P is even better in sound, with a compression tweeter and a 15 inch. on the other hand, has not returned nor in my budget, or in the trunk of my car ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 10 months.
    I like: the size, weight, sound.
    I like least: the rear wind, but hey, did save space.
    I tried everything there was less than 1500 euros in the store. This is the best compromise his / weight / size / power. To be honest, I wanted a 100W amp easy to transport. I thought I put less than half of what I pay the Markbass. It took me a few weeks and several visits to the store to convince me to pay the price.

    As for the price just is not given but it is assembled in Europe (Italy prcisment) unlike many brands that spray the sponge and do everything to Asia ... and I did not do better for this price.

    Everything has been said on this subject.
    The pressure with a piezo tweeter if you push either the treble or the FFT filter. Gnant for the price ...
    unbeatable size (for now).

    UTILIZATION

    SOUNDS

    Despite its size, this amp has a trs prdilection for low frequencies (around 50Hz), limited by its size against the bottom mdiums. I am pleased with acute mlodieux not the most I've heard, but prcis. An amp that sounds clean and trs round because of all runic. Amateurs sounds dirty, not for you, except with a pramp the limit. Group is well trs: digging out the mdiums means trs well without interfering with the bass guitar or singing.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Like everyone else I bought it for its weight, there are over 6 months, so I had the opportunity to use it in concert as rpt. It does its job, and I like that it gives its full potential in the low, giving her an effective, well located in the mix.

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple configuration. One branch is played, even legalization flat, one begins to feel the power and the look "right" sound. Note that when the receiver is completely sound owes a lot when on jou adj markbass who made many hours of play ... I reu mine, the sound lacks bass, no mium, sharp attacking too much and an overall feeling of rigidity .. Well, I had trs afraid of making a gaffe, and then not .. after two three hours, the memebrane relche is slowly gaining on the depth and softness. (Relative softness, a severe slap attack!). APRS twenty hours of play, the sound gets better still. I think we should not push too much as we did not touch at least fifty hours to get the best sound.
    I had no manual (yet nine), but nothing complex.
    Aisment is configured, you arrive quickly find the trs well. whether slap to the large roots, to funk, jazz, rock (but not filthy, one will be ncessaire pedals).

    Do not rely on the size of this amp, it sends many, many ... I made one yesterday with my group rptition (edit: even more rptitions ph ... NSName: always send a lot, but with many musicians). Maximum volume that I could put: 3 (gain noon) because otherwise too too too hard. It's amazing I feel like I have a 15 inch branch the head so the acoustical performance is powerful, lungs dplacement tremble with the air and sound waves. Trs impressive.

    It will really take into account the acoustics of the room, basement, garage, hall, small room, etc. to have a good sound .. Must know how to play the equalizer!

    Clearly I am using 70, 80 watts on the amp (although I used the 120 o -150 watts on other models!) And everything goes well .. trs given by the 450 watts? ?? Stade de France?!

    SOUNDS

    Blues, rock, funk, reggae, short trs trs versatile this little amp. Jou with a Jazz bass deluxe 24, no trouble finding her. His deep mellow, or plutt midscoop with filters. Sometimes close to the stereo, but still lacks a bit of transparency to get there. As for the slap, this amp is really a total massacre! gnial. beautiful rendition of the harmonics.

    A major complaint of the same to all this amp: the piezo produces far too many average volume breath. Rduire only way the treble on your bass (if active) or the amp directly. In other words, certain sounds, the breath is so GNR Gnant that trying to keep them even more. They simply forget .. Coup de gueule for making this ugly piezo also not always trsmlodieux treble. This is the ugly duckling in this upscale MODEL. No possibility to bypass, the arrter by a small button ...

    Another criticism to this amp, it lacks DEFINITIONS prsence and simply in the spectrum of mdiums. Much impressed by the bass, the treble by which a sound bite and qausi crystal, but mdiums? It's hard to find them, make them alive.
    not a 10 is not worth the time, but plutt 7 for these reasons.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall,

    This is an excellent high-end amp, trslgr, transportable by tram. fit in any trunk. Trs well for all musical styles, normment of reserves, there will never be short I think!

    Advantages:
    + Weight impressive 13.3 kilos
    + Power: 450 watts max
    Versatile + of bte
    Filters VLE + VPF super effective.

    Inconvnients:
    -No headphone jack
    Piezo-tweeter and not (its not in the high trsmlodieux)
    Breath of the piezo-average volume
    -Lack of prsence DEFINITIONS and in some of frquences mdiums

    Too many default value. But look at the balance default / benefit balance is. trs everything goes well, no regrets though. Another review of this amp is proposing to use the liquid to change the Visaton and piezo tweeter for compression + remove the acoustic foam. Not all agree to the foam, but the other two options are all made sense.

    If these do not frighten small default not, especially if you do not pay 990 euros for this amp, fonez you will not regret at all, less than 800 euros used, there will not better believe me!

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is childish, it connects and it was the sound of his bass IMMEDIATE. Correction is performed only to overcome poor acoustics, the sound is just flat amazing dj. To my ear, even if it is closer to the hi-fi sound that typ of a grain trs DGIG the amp sounds nice round and warm. Good to see you the manual, it is available on the internet but frankly, part may be for filters, it is not used much.
    Let us also filters the VLE high peak frequencies and simulates a vintage trs round, the FFT operates on him as a compressor in the crasis mdiums.

    SOUNDS

    What is good for the style I play everything and I could not try all the styles but I do not take that little combo in default, it is really versatile. I play it with a Cort Fm2. For the moment I did that with and I pat t by the rapid change of filters obtained: a piece funk zou turning the FFT, a walking bass is zou vle turns and changing from one of his trujillo a much more sound in less than a second, very practical scne. I agree, however, an advice: A little lack of bass but still mdiums trs deep, despite the size, and even when acute acceptable despite the piezo tweeter, and then also of breath when we play it, yes, but and APRS? This is not a rel inconvnient in the studio because you can use the line out and scne ...
    A little dtail all of the same importance: the vle also attenuated the effects, and this is the point that I almost cut the overdrive .... However when using a vintage sound sound not forcment need to effect but all the same caution as I also found a chorus with the bass and synth ... (only rverbe happening).

    OVERALL OPINION

    So I had the day before yesterday so my opinion is not size but still I am at least trs happy for the moment and I think for long. I too tried other models before this one because it's really Markbass sound I wanted, I loved the very first time I tried a little mark the effectiveness of the two filters ... and above all can not be said enough, do not rely on its size, that little combo was really the voice and trunk (before I played on a 2x15 ... ) and no shortage of serious despite its modest size.
    Viewpoint quality price ratio personellment I find it excellent, the finish is nickel, it is simpler and more lightweight versatile than many other combo in the price range, I referrer thousand times this choice.

    UTILIZATION

    It can hardly be simpler with the use of an amplifier of such power. The only adjustment that takes some concentration is the gain of rglage. Then it only remains that refine SETTING THE legalization and filters (if needed) in order to obtain his wish.

    The filter VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) cuts the high frequencies and retains low and medium level frquences to simulate a vintage sound.

    The filter VPF (Variable Preshape Filter) will cut mdiums and will boost the low and high frequencies. The FFT filter will be used for a heavy sound that fits in the rock, hip hop or any style requiring a very heavy sound. This filter is effective and trs will delight fans of the slap.

    The manual provided is somewhat succinct. Distinctness between The models described on the manual is not simply enter trs. There is no information regarding the technical chamber (filtering, dimensions and other CHARACTERISTICS).

    SOUNDS

    Here is the critical aspect of this amp. First of all, what impresses most is the sound power DGIG the baffle. Given the weight and size of this combo I struggled to believe my ears when the master volume n'tait not even half. Some criticize that this amp is too powerful. In my case, I assume that "who can do more can do less", and this amp is the "most" with incredible efficiency. I understand why so many artists have chosen to rename these amps.

    Sound by dlivr combo is not as neutral as MarkBass wants us to believe. The trsrputette LittleMark II has its capacitsrduites by the size of the box. Indeed, the bass is trs Submitted, sometimes dtriment of mdiums. The sounds range of combos suprieur (121H and 151) are much more convincing.

    The piezo tweeter dlivre lot of breath and lack of precision. I replaced a tweeter compression Monacor HT-30 (17 "speaker of the house"). The dimensions of this compression is done all it can be adapted and will integrate without much resume insertion. In addition, it Yadji a circuit filter upstream of the tweeter, with a coupling capacitor required to remove any DC component and a high pass filter. Compression can be connected without modification supplmentaire. The breath is therefore deleted and found an acute claret amazing!



    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for over a year. Work in a quiet home the rptition, this amp is meant to be comfortable in countless situations. In concert, this combo will be discreet and trs has surprised many ing their relative performance.
    What j'apprcie most is the weight / power ratio unbeatable this amp. When you know the sound power dlivre it, I can not believe it can still be as lightweight! Now I wonder what other amp manufacturers make 30 kg see her sometimes with a less potent ... Would I rat something? More srieusement, Markbass has dvelopper a new technique for transforming the electric current with a new type of processor technology combines numrique. It's just that the weight gain and an extraordinary stroke Reduces clutter can be too.

    Unfortunately, all this would be too good if there was not fault this amp. The main inconvnient of this amp is the coldness of his dlivr and breath of the piezo tweeter mount home. The head flange ComboHead its capabilities by the size of the box and the technical choices Contents of sound reproduction. Just compare this head with another box to see the diffrence impressive!

    For an amp small in size, so Fate also work alone at home, we also regret the lack of headphone jack, so simple design technically.

    Overall, this amp will be most versatile depending on the situation, the power both at appointment. The most demanding of its Contents is a bit frustrated by the lack of personality that is correctable, however rvle cheaply.

    The quality dpassent Submitted by far the few technical default. At this price, it is certain that it is an excellent investment for the vast majority of bassists. Over time, all the same I prfrerais acqurir a combo of the range suprieur for their sound more convincing. However, the weight and size of this combo is more trs apprciable when to wear it over a few meters.
