The SD 1200 is the bigger brother to Markbass's popular SD 800 head, but with more headroom. It has, as its name suggests, 1200 Watts of power and is thus suited for larger stages. Both amps share the same control features. It has a solid-state preamp and a 4-band EQ with two bands of semi-parametric mids.
