Compact, lightweight and delivering more punch in an effect pedal than you could ever expect, MXR bass effect pedals will absolutely steal the show while you play. With pedals available like distortion, compression, filters and preamps, MXR has a selection that ranges from classic to contemporary, allowing bassists to get the exact sound they're after when they play. Innovative in everything they do, MXR is at the forefront of effect pedal design. Part of the famous Jim Dunlop family of products, MXR was originally founded in 1972 in New York by two audio repairmen who decided to stop fixing effect pedals and start making them. The rest is history, and they're now one of the most revered pedal manufacturers in the world. If you're looking for a high-end pedal in a small package, then you've definitely come to the right place.
So how do you want to shape your sound? If you're after some serious distortion that also gives you full control over your tone then you need to check out the legendary MXR M-80 Bass Direct Box with Distortion. With a ton of features like 3-band EQ, phantom power, a noise gate, and multiple controls for gain, volume, blend and more, you can transform your sound as you see fit. From clean to crunchy and everything in between, this pedal does it all.
If you're looking for a more studio-oriented pedal that adds richness to your basslines, then consider the attention-grabbing M288 Bass Octave Deluxe Effects Pedal. Featuring 18-volt Constant Headroom Technology for superior tracking, two separate processing channels, and multiple dials to control the growl and girth of your bass tone, this pedal also lets you select frequency as well as add midrange boost like nothing else on the market.
Used by top artists and bands spanning multiple genres like Dave Matthews, Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, Este Haim, Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and so many more, these pedals are a staple in the effects industry. Honestly, you don't get a following like that unless you're one of the best in the business. If you want to kick your sound up to 11 and beyond, MXR bass effect pedals are ready to help you rock.
