Just like the other amps in our 58R range, the amp new design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving only the speaker outs and AC power socket on the rear panel, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything more practical. All in an high build quality and ultralight new chassis for a super portable package that weights only 2,17Kg/4.78lbs.

KEY POINTS

ANDREW GOUCHÉ'S SIGNATURE SOUND
We created this amplifier to suit Andrew's individual requirements for both sound, and playing style. Thanks to his exceptional music production experience and finely tuned musical ear, the development process was rapid and precise. With Andrew's deep knowledge of what makes a great bass sound, we customised frequency choices based on his direction and he stamped it with his seal of approval – “Finally I have MY sound!”.

NEW HEAD ERGONOMIC AND PRATICAL DESIGN
The new LITTLE AG 58R head amp design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving only the speaker outs and AC power socket on the rear panel, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything more practical.

LIMITER CONTROL
This dedicated limiter control enables a modern amp response when fully dialled in. In contrast when set to zero it creates that old generation behavior along with the typical distortion you can get when the limiter effect is really low. Of course you can also select everything in between to create your own individual amplifier characteristic response.

FSW MUTE / EQ ON/OFF
Featured on the front panel of the Little AG 58R amplifier is a convenient mute switch. In addition with an optional dual footswitch (FSW) you can remotely trigger the mute function, and also turn the EQ section on/off.

MPT - Mark Proprietary Technology
Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

ECO-FRIENDLY
It’s time to think about the future; focus on the product and on the natural environment that surrounds it.
