Greg Howe Tells Why He Chose DV Mark's Triple 6 New Release Check out this video to hear what Greg thinks of DV Mark's 3rd generation all tube head. What impresses him the most? The fact that, unlike many multi channel heads, this is not an amp with three 'modified' verions of one channel circuit. The voicing on each of the Triple 6 new release's three channels is distinct and unique, which gives an artist a far more exciting pallet of tones with which to work. Try a Triple 6 'new release' for yourself at your nearest DV Mark dealer. |

 | May 01 2012 - Frank Gambale Signature Series Combos and Cabs are on their way!
“I spent quite a lot of time at the factory located near Pescara, Italy to work with this wonderful boutique company who make a really high quality product to develop the Frank Gambale Signature Amplifier Series by DV Mark. I have always preferred to use solid state power amps (PA amps 1000 watts, 500 a side running at 50% for huge headroom) with tube preamps to get the tube tones both for distortion and EQ. In my opinion, this setup has the best of both worlds. What’s exciting about the new line of amps we’ve developed is that we have taken the same concept into a 1x12 combo and an amp head also, that is, solid state power and tube preamp. As far as I know this has not been done before. The results I have heard are spectacular… so much power and clarity for the clean sounds and so much power and clarity for the distortion sounds.”
It's not often that an artist of Frank Gambale's stature gets truly involved in the design and manufacture of signature series products, and soon you'll be able to try one of these ground-breaking combos for yourself. Click on the image for more details on Frank's combo. To find out where you can try one, click here: DV Mark Dealers
“This new amp features a burly, 150-watt, solid-state power section (that can push out up to 250w RMS when an extension cab is added), with dual clean and tube-driven preamps, Accutronics spring reverb, and a super-efficient neodymium speaker. Designed to deliver loud, ultra-clean tones, the compact amp weighs less than 11.7kg—perfect for gigging jazz and fusion players” | |||

September 2011 - Australian Musician reviews the Bad Boy 120 head and C412 Standard cabinet. Here are some highlights:
"3 amps in one, as each channel has its own identity, yet still maintains some continuity between tones and voicings. There is a lot of versatility here, just about as much as I’ve seen in non-modelling amp." "DV Mark has put some great tones in a lightweight, user friendly package with the Bad Boy 120, so if you need versatilliy and power without having to ‘hang out’ with your chiropractor every week, check out this amp." "There is just about every feature you could ever need for just about every style, as well as a few interesting features like a high/ low bias (which selects how much juice you suck out of the tubes), effects loop with a loop assign, and a cool 5 button footswitch that can select each channel, add a solo boost, and activate effects."

 | Frank Gambale and DV Mark About DV Mark, Frank says: “Finally! An amp that sounds exactly right—and like me, it has Italian roots! Plug in and go… awesome tone without having to search.” Grammy winning guitar virtuoso Frank Gambale exploded on the L.A. scene in the early 80s. His meteoric rise to fame is a testament to his passion-powered playing–a style Rolling Stone Magazine called “ferocious”! Gambale is the undisputed genius who propelled sweep picking from a technique to an art form which continues to inspire generations of musicians. Jazz, rock, metal and prog artists alike are united in their awe of Frank as both an amazing technician and an unsurpassed musician. As jazz legend, Chick Corea, describes Frank: “Everything you touch with your guitar turns gold – always has.” While John McLaughlin’s tongue-in-cheek response to his finesse is “I’d like to cut his hands off.” A musician’s musician, gifted composer, brilliant innovator and author of numerous instructional books, Frank continues to reach unprecedented sonic and technical heights. His six string prowess and seemingly limitless vision point towards an exciting future of ground breaking music. Whether Gambale is touring the world with his Fusion Jazz Trio, the Natural High Trio, his new vocal group Soulmine, or joining forces in an iconic jazz super group, Frank continues to amaze audiences around the world.

 | Nguyên Lê and DV Mark Born in Paris of Vietnamese parents, Nguyên Le began to play drums at the age of 15, later taking up guitar and electric bass. After early explorations with a multi-ethnic group called Ultramarine, in 1987 Nguyên was chosen by director Antoine Hervé to play with the ONJ (French National Jazz Orchestra).

It immediately hit #1 on the charts of UK’s Jazzwise magazine—and to date it is Nguyên’s most successful album, with sales of over 20,500. Nguyên was unanimously awarded the “Django d'Or” guitar award in 2006. Nguyên has also performed with John McLaughlin, Michel Petrucianni, Ornette Coleman (“Freedom Statue”), Miroslav Vitous, Kenny Wheeler, Uri Caine, Ralph Towner, Richard Bona, Terri Lyne Carrington, Matt Garrison, John Taylor, Markus Stockhausen, Enrico Rava, Ray Anderson, Dave Douglas, Wolfgang Pushnig, Michel Portal, Geri Allen, Gary Thomas, Maria Schneider, J.
