SKU: MXR-EFX-M80

Product Description

The MXR M80 Bass D.I.+ is a powerhouse pedal that gives bassists a complete tonal toolbox in one rugged, compact unit. Whether you're gigging, recording, or practicing, the M80 delivers pristine direct-injected bass sounds, a versatile distortion channel, and a professional-grade EQ section to shape your tone exactly how you want it. With its built-in noise gate, the M80 ensures your signal stays clear and focused, even when pushing the limits with overdrive and distortion. Plug in and experience the ultimate in flexibility and control for your bass sound.

Dual Channel Design

The M80 features both clean and distortion channels, each with independent controls. Seamlessly switch between transparent, punchy clean tones and gritty, aggressive distortion, or blend the two for a rich, layered sound. The dedicated Clean and Distortion footswitches make it easy to access the exact character you need, whether you're laying down a solid groove or stepping out for a solo.

Comprehensive EQ and Tone Shaping

Shape your sound with precision thanks to the three-band EQ section, offering up to ±18 dB of boost or cut on bass, ±10 dB on mids, and ±12 dB on treble. The Clean channel also features a Color switch, engaging a preset EQ curve for added punch, clarity, and definition. Dial in anything from classic thump to modern snap, and make sure your bass sits perfectly in any mix.

Professional Direct Integration

With both balanced and unbalanced outputs, the M80 lets you run your signal straight to a mixing board, PA, or recording interface with ease. The ground lift and phantom power options ensure noise-free operation on any stage or studio setup, making the M80 a true workhorse for the working bassist.

Intelligent Noise Gate

Say goodbye to unwanted hum and hiss with the M80's adjustable noise gate, powered by Smart Gate technology. Set your desired threshold and enjoy tight, controlled distortion tones, even at high gain settings. The gate responds dynamically to your playing, keeping your signal clean without cutting off your sustain or expressiveness.

Features
