Markbass MINI CMD 121 P V Combo Amp
The MINI CMD 121 P V is an updated version of the popular Mini CMD 121P, now featuring the new Little Mark 58R Combo Head.

With all controls and connections conveniently placed on the front panel, and a minimalist rear panel with only speaker outs and an AC power socket, it offers optimal ergonomics and practicality.
Key Features:
New Combo Head Design:
- All connections and controls are on the front panel, leaving the rear panel clean with only essential outputs, ensuring ease of use and ergonomic efficiency.
Unparalleled Power/Weight Ratio:
- Despite its small size, this combo amp delivers a powerful sound that defies expectations, making it a leader in its class since its initial release in 2005.
Versatile 4-Band EQ:
- The 4-band EQ section is highly effective, allowing for precise tonal adjustments. It features the Old School filter for a smooth, vintage tone and a 3-way switch offering Flat, Scooped, or FSW settings for a variety of sonic options.
Bi-Band Limiter:
- The new bi-band limiter provides a faster and more dynamic response, allowing the high end to “breathe” for a more natural sound, perfect for those who need a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.
Powerful Stack Option:
- Pair the Mini CMD 121P with a New York 121 extension cabinet to create a 500W 2x12” stack, capable of filling large venues with sound.
Compact Stage Footprint:
