Tiny Amps! DV Mark Micro 50 Amps Review

These are two of the Micro 50 range of DV Mark amps. The micro 50 mark II and Micro 50 M.
Small light and powerful. What do you think of them?

Here's the link to where I bought them. (Not an affiliate link and not sponsored, Just a good deal)

Lol imagine planning for gigs... 🙃
Ps sorry for the crunchy voice over, I was trying something new out. It didn’t work

[LookingForEntertainment]

But how will the guy at the bar, facing the other way, who's tone deaf and 18 pints in be able to appreciate my tone if it's not a tube amp?

Legit the only "gear review/guitar" channel I can trust without doubting if his opinions are biased. Kudos to you

[TheUnmitigatedDawn]

God you’re an underrated guitar channel.

You haven't lived until you've muscled a Fender Quad Reverb up a flight of stairs.

It is interesting how much the clean tone is present, even with the gain maxed, on the overdrive channel on the 50 II. Not for me, but eeenteresting

My main amp is a Mesa 525, small and powerful. These micro heads look very cool. Great video, catching up with all your videos .we have to support the Irish 🇮🇪

[leearmitage]

Gave up on tube amps when I acquired the dv mark raw dawg. Eats pedals, sounds great, period.

The discontinued 200 watt tone block version is really cool. Played a gig last week and another band used one. Highly recommend. Was set to 20 watts and was loudddd.

I have the DV Mark Micro II and it’s a fabulous amp. For even more headroom and volume, I also have the Quilter Pro Block 200 which I like the sound of just a tiny bit more. The Quilter and my Barefaced 1x12 Reformer cab are all I’ll ever need for any gig. Small, lightweight and an easy-to-transport package.

Cheers on those riffs! Great selection this time around.

DV Mark does great stuff; I own a micro II and a wonderful 2x12 neo cab, which I use also with Kemper; great demo and playing!

These have been around awhile but with very few reviews. My setup is a Synergy Syn1 into a Quilter Toneblock 201 and its awesome. Thanks for the review man!

Probably best solution is just a FX8 into the house PA or a clean micro power amp.

Agree on the EQ of the micro 50 II I have... Way to bassy and not enough treble at noon settings. I run the bass at 9 oclock and treble at 3 oclock. with an 1x12 open back cab with an eminence GB128.
Mid knob is very speaker dependent . The GB128 is heavy on lower mids which I find is the frequency center of the mid knob of the amp. So with the GB128 I need to roll the mids down to around 10 oclock for clarity.. WIth other speakers with more high mid emphasis (celestion 70/80 or Jensen american speakers) you can increase the mids to noon. With the GB128 with mids at noon playing with the band it was loud but without much "cut" due to the range between 1000Hz to 2000Hz being fairly low. SOme say that the micro 50 II bass tone is like a silverface fender without a bright button.. THose amps can be very bass heavy with guitar in a mix and hence when you push volume you EQ the fender with the magic 6. (volume 6/10, Treble 6/10, mids 3-4/10, bass 2/10).. This EQ seems right with my micro 50, Bass just slighty below 9 o'clock, mids around 10 o'clock and treble around 2 oclock.

I use the Micro 50 live as a pedal platform and it gets the job done. Great video man :)

[AidenBradley]

Quilter have been nailing this idea for years.

Great demo, great playing! Regarding comments about gain on the Micro 50II. The drive channel overlays the level/tone on the clean channel. Switching to drive "adds" the drive knobs to the clean knobs. This includes the "level" control which, on your demo is set incredibly low (visible at 7.29), so it ain't gonna give you much drive if the start point of the gain is so low to begin with?

[rijosigns]

and kdh is such a great player. his band is awesome!!!!
