What Markbass is known for
MoMark is Markbass's modular take on the bass head. A MoMark head is an amp frame, the power section, with plug-in modules for the preamp, the EQ and the master, so you can build the head around the way you play. The frames carry two combo Speakon and 1/4" speaker jacks, a parallel effects loop, an XLR DI with a pre or post EQ switch and ground lift, and a tuner out.

Questions
Markbass questions, answered
What is a Markbass MoMark amp?
MoMark is Markbass's modular head. An amp frame supplies the power, and modules plug in for the preamp, the EQ and the master section. The MoMark Black 500, for example, pairs a tube preamp module, a four-band EQ module and a master module with Markbass's VLE and VPF filters.
How much power do the MoMark amp frames make?
The Amp Frame 250 is rated at 250 watts into 4 ohms and 150 watts into 8 ohms. The Amp Frame 500 is rated at 500 watts into 4 ohms and 300 watts into 8 ohms. Markbass gives 4 ohms as the minimum load for its heads.
What does the Markbass Chorus/Flanger do?
It's a bass chorus and flanger in one pedal, with a switch between the two modes, a speed range of 0.1 to 10 Hz and six presets you can edit with Markbass's free software over USB on a Mac or PC.
