davehux Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Selling my MarkBass F1, which I bought on here in January, as I now have a GB Shuttle 9.0 - just another whiff of GAS that needed sniffing The F1 is basically the LMII with a class D power amp, which makes it even smaller and lighter. However, what isn't smaller and lighter is the power and sound. 500W @ 4ohm, about 380 at 8 - and with a crispness and clarity that accents every note. If you want to soften the sound, the filters will do that, but for pure punch, this thing has really got it. It is LOUD - VERY LOUD - OH MAN IS IT LOUD!!!! Perfect working order, with just a few very light scuffs on it. Edited August 19, 2013 by davehux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembo Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 is there much difference between the F1 and the SA450, for tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehux Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Not the faintest idea, as I've never had an SA450. Someone else will need to answer that. All I know is that I've had a Little Mark II, which is a lovely amp, but the F1, IMHO, is just a bit 'sharper' in its sound. I'm starting up with a more mellow band now, so I want the warmth of a valve preamp, rather than punching thorough a 5 piece, with my old lot. This is a serious bit of kit if you want to knock a hole in your drummer :-) Edited June 30, 2013 by davehux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
