Congratulations on your purchase of the SWR® Marcus
Miller preamplifier!
The SWR tradition of innovation and excellence began
in 1984, when founder Steve W. Rabe developed an
entirely new concept of bass instrument amplification.
Responding to advice and suggestions from top L.A.
recording bassists of the day who wanted their live
sound to resemble what they heard in studio playback
monitors, Rabe developed a full-range, hi-fi bass system
that allowed players to dial in any tone they wanted
with the accuracy of a studio mixing console. The “SWR
sound” was born.
Carrying on in that tradition, SWR has partnered with
Marcus Miller - arguably the most influential bassist of
his generation – to create the ultimate tool for bassists.
Working closely with our SWR engineers, Marcus pains-
takingly customized the feature set of this preamp to
accommodate his own distinctive array of tones, while
taking into consideration the needs of other bassists of
all styles. The result is simply one of the most versatile
bass products ever developed.
We’re confident that you will enjoy your new Marcus
Miller preamp for many years to come, and many thanks
for “Stepping Up” to SWR.
A note from Marcus Miller—
Congratulations on purchasing the MM Preamp!
This is the missing link between your bass and a great
sound! You can use this pre-amp to shape your sound,
giving it that big bottom, that fat mid-range, or that
glassy snap - whatever your bass has been missing. Use
this on the stage, in line just before your amplifier. Or
in the studio before the digital recorder (or the tape
machine if you're old school!). You can also use the MM
pre-amp as a direct box. We put a lot of work into devel-
oping something that is really useful. You're going to
love what this box does for your sound!
Enjoy!
Marcus Miller
P.S. I made a short video going into more detail about how
to get the most out of your MM pre-amp. To check it out,
