Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo tweeter provides a crisp, detailed high end, but requires careful EQ adjustment to avoid harshness; it's less 'smooth' than a traditional compression driver.
It's more than a simple EQ – it incorporates Markbass's proprietary circuitry to simulate the harmonic distortion and saturation of older tube amps, adding warmth and grit.
It offers a distinct Markbass tonal signature – a tighter low-end and more aggressive mid-range than some competitors, while still retaining excellent clarity and definition.
