MARK VISION

A Word from Marco De Virgiliis

As it happened in the bass world, we’ve been the first introducing lightweight, portable, powerful and great sounding heads on the guitar market. Thanks to the great success of the DV
Micro 50 and DV Little 250 heads we added many new models and we created a brand new series where any guitar player will find the right amp matching his needs and music style.

Thank you for choosing DV MARK!

- The DV LITTLE GH 250 head is the high-power version of the DV MICRO 50, created for those who need the very user-friendly and effective separate controls on the two
channels but also like to have a large supply of power and serious headroom, still in an ultra-compact package.
With its 250W power amp, the DV LITTLE GH 250 is a great choice for bigstage applications, and for louder bands.

- The DV LITTLE 250 M head was built to achieve massive amounts of gain for METAL and hard rock. Rock and metal guitarists now have a new choice to have their tones
for everything heavy, except for the amp weight! The DV LITTLE 250 M is incredibly versatile, from sparkling clean to extreme metal and everything in between, and gets amplified by
a stadium-rocking 250W power amp.

- The DV “RAW DAWG” EG head is a single channel tube driven head signed by the great Eric Gales, created for those who, like Eric, need a single sparkling and powerful
channel with a big power amp to get huge headroom and dynamic.

- The FG LITTLE 250 AMPLITUDE head is a two channels amp signed by DV Mark top-artist Frank Gambale. The two independent channels
feature separate Gain,EQ controls and Level to perfectly taylor and balance your favorite sounds from extremely clean to highly distorted, with a 250W MPT
power amp to get huge headroom and dynamic.

At DV Mark, we invested a lot of resouces in R&D to develope a proprietary power amp, designed to
respect and glorify the tone of your instrument.

We hope you will enjoy your new guitar amp, and we invite you to contact us any time with your comments and questions, at [e-mail].
Thanks again, and good music!

2) GAIN This knob sets the gain level of the clean channel.

3) BASS This knob controls the amount of low frequencies in your sound.

4) MID The Mid control regulates the midrange frequencies and it is an important part

of your tone shaping.

5) HIGH The High knob controls the amount of high frequencies in your sound.

6) LEVEL This control is the master feed from the end of the clean channel preamp

channel to the power stage.

7) CLEAN/LEAD SWITCH This channel selector switches between the Clean and Lead
channels. Channel-switching can also be controlled by a footswitch that can be plugged
into the FSW on the front panel (14).

character of your sound. For a more scoopy tone, lower the mids. Turn the knob up for more focused attack and better pitch definition.

11) HIGH The High knob controls how much of the preamp’s high frequencies are blended into the signal. It can produce unwanted noise (hiss) or
pickup feedback if really cranked, so it’s best to avoid extreme settings.

12) LEVEL (LEAD CHANNEL) This control is the master feed from the end of LEAD channel to the power stage. Separate level controls for each
channel allow to match the lead channel level to the clean channel volume when switching between them.

13) REVERB Level control for the onboard reverb. This amp features a last generation of digital reverb, it’s sweet-sounding, warm and natural.

14) FSW 1/4” jack for connecting a footswitch to switch between Clean and Lead channels.

15) ON/OFF SWITCH This switch delivers AC power to the amp. The DV Little GH 250 / DV Little 250M amps are manufactured to be used in the

country where they have been sold, and are factory preset to that country’s voltage. So make sure you’re sending the correct voltage to your amp before
you connect it to AC power and turn on the amp.
