Markbass TTE 801 Randy Jackson bass guitar amplifier head
Product no: VO-TTE801 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Markbass TTE 801 Randy Jackson is the signature bass guitar amplifier head of the world-renowned bassist and American Idol judge. He's worked with some of the top names in the music industry including Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen to name but a few. This bass guitar amplifier head combines the best of vintage and modern, giving you a wide variety of bass sounds that are suitable for virtually any genre.

TTE 801: the best of both worlds

The TTE 801 is equipped with a tube preamplifier and a transistor power amp that together produce 800 watts of power at 4 ohms and 500 watts at 8 ohms. Thanks to the tube preamp that includes a tube-driven compressor, the sound is full and warm with a slight edge. The transistor power amp ensures more transparent, modern amplification and helps to keep the weight down. You can customise your bass sound to perfection by using the 3-band EQ and controls for colour and compression.
