The Markbass Randy Jackson Signature TTE 500 500W Tube Bass Amp Head is best described as œModern Vintage, which may seem to be an oxymoron, but it sums up the unique new TTE 500 well. Current technology is brought together with classic tone concepts in a head that looks and sounds vintage”but features some special adaptations of the innovations that put the Markbass on the map. The classic sound comes from an old-style tube preamp, a tube compressor, a simple 3-band passive EQ section, a œColor filter (a tube adaptation of the famous Markbass VLE control), and an innovative Tube Technology Emulator power amp.
