MARK VISION

A Word from Marco De Virgiliis

Thank you for choosing DV Mark!

We are thrilled to have you join us for an exciting new chapter in the history of guitar amplification. In a decade, we have succeeded in making Markbass the
world’s leading bass amp brand, using technology to better serve the needs of bassists: great tone, reliability, versatility/flexibility, and light weight. Now it’s time
for guitarists to have their turn!

The classic tones guitarists have come to know and love over the last few decades are worthy of great respect. We have designed our amps with a great reverence
for these sounds. We’re not trying to start a revolution in guitar tone… because guitarists don’t want or need that.
However—there are some important areas where the classic amplifiers can be greatly improved upon, to better suit the needs of guitarists:

The first is reliability—and we are very proud of the high quality standard that we’re able to offer thanks to our innovative technology, state-of the-art testing
and quality control facilities and top-quality components! You need to be able to always trust your amp… and we understand that!

The second is flexibility. DV Mark amps have great versatility with a wide range of clean and distorted sounds for any musical style, from jazz to rock to
metal—and never sacrifice your tone!

The third is light weight. Many of you have seen your bass players easily loading in and out of gigs with their lightweight Markbass gear, while you struggle
with a heavy 2x12 combo or 4x12 cabinet. It’s time you enjoyed the same benefits of lightweight gear! DV Mark combos and cabinet feature the DV NEOCLASSIC
speaker, a super lightweight neo magnet custom made by DV Mark. These innovative speakers are the result of hard work and many test on
neodymium speaker tonal character: a lightweight speaker that sounds and response like a classic speaker.

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!

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD!

The MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD is a powerful tool designed to control the Multiamp; it can also be customized for your gear requirements,
providing two different modes of operation.

1. PROGRAM CHANGE
The MIDI program change command allows you to recall the presets as for the Preset/Patch MAP setting on your Multiamp (or other
receiving device).

2. CONTROL CHANGE
The MIDI control change commands are used to turn ON/OFF effects and to have access to the TUNER and VOLUME PEDAL functions on your
Multiamp. The Control Change MAP at SYSTEM>MIDI menu on your Multiamp (firmware V 4.0) allows to assign a control change number to
each single effect and to turn ON/OFF the effect assigned to specific Control Change of the MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD.

To start using the MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD, use a 5 pin MIDI connector.

Plug one end into the MIDI OUT jack of the MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD and plug the other end into the MIDI IN jack of the Multiamp (or
other MIDI receiving device). The Multiamp provides phantom power, so the pedalboard is directly powered; for other MIDI devices that don’t
provide that, you will need to use a 9V power supply connected to the DC IN.

Now assign the MULTIAMP MIDI PEDALBOARD’s MIDI
channel to the same MIDI channel of the Multiamp (or other
device that is receiving MIDI). Press the Menu button of
the pedalboard so that a “Chl” message will appear on the
display, now press OK and the MIDI channel number will
appear (by default both Multiamp and MULTIAMP MIDI
PEDALBOARD are setted on channel “00”); to change the
MIDI channel to match a receiving device’s MIDI channel
use the 8 and 4 buttons to scroll UP and DOWN “MIDI
Channels”, then press OK to store and ESC to return to
the program change (PC) function.
