3. IntroductIon
The Markbass Bass Tube Marker supplies natural amp-like distortion, from sweet overdrive to exciting distortion, and its versatility makes it useful for any musical style. It always honors
the natural voice of your bass, providing very dynamic, touch-sensitive response and a large output range.
Like all our pedals, this unit features “true bypass”: that means that when the distorsion is ‘off’, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack without any degradation
of audio quality.
Start by running a cable from your bass to the Bass Tube Marker input jack, and run another cable from the pedal output to your amp, setting all the pedal’s controls to the 12 o’clock
position. Turn on the effect by stepping on the footswitch, and dial in the amount of distortion desired by adjusting the DRIVE knob. Adjust the tone as you like with the TONE knob, and
use the LEVEL knob to set the desired volume level of the effect.
Simple and effective controls—but all you need to get a great distorted tone!
