About Mark McDowell

Mark McDowell is an Orlando-based guitarist, native of Harrisburg, PA. After touring with a variety of cover bands throughout most of the 90s, he had become quite versatile. Settling in Orlando, he developed the chops to take on any gig that came his way: theme parks, Daytona biker bands, musical theater, jazz groups, and P&W services.

But he was never satisfied with his tone. After going through the digital rack-mounted 90s, then 20 years of trying many different amps and pedals, he was introduced to the BENADO PB1 by Brent Mason.

BENADO Partnership

Mark plays the BENADO PB1 and has recently added a PF-5 Pro to his main rig.

“I got one as soon as I could. Incredibly versatile. Tone is impeccable, especially the Nutra Drive. Sage really came up with something special for Paul (Franklin). I’m so glad to have these pedalboards. Amped, direct to PA or DAW, anything else is a compromise.”
