The Little Mark's international success is driven by its versatile sound, suitable for all styles of music.

DRIVE AND BLEND CONTROLS
Rock bassists love Little Mark heads, however the awesome drive section of this new model makes the Little Mark 58R Rocker better than ever for rock! The amount of drive, ranging from crunchy overdrive to aggressive distortion, is controlled by the DRIVE pot and a switch allows you to select between two types of drive. The BLEND control mixes between CLEAN and DISTORTED sounds.
NEW EQ SETTING / 3-WAY SWITCH / OLD SCHOOL
The 4 Band EQ of the Little Mark 58R Rocker has new centre frequencies which are all tuned to offer a balanced tone that slices through the mix. It also features a 3 way rotary switch that dial in 2 useful EQ presets to quickly select a true FLAT setting, or a CUT setting that has boosted low and highs with scooped mids. The third option on the switch allows you to use an optional Dual Footswitch to control the DRIVE/BLEND section or the CUT EQ preset.
