Description
Every bassist ends up needing the same three things on a gig: a trustworthy direct box, a preamp that actually shapes tone instead of just boosting it, and distortion that doesn’t turn your low end to mud. The MXR M80 packs all three into one rugged enclosure built to take a beating from load-ins, sweaty hands, and unpredictable stages.
- Independent Clean and Distortion channels you can blend to taste, not just switch between
- Three-band EQ plus a color switch for instant preset shaping when you don’t have time to fuss
- Gain knob dials in everything from mild grit to a full roar, blended into your clean signal at whatever level you want
- Adjustable noise gate keeps sustain long while killing hum and hiss between notes
- XLR and parallel 1/4″ outputs with a phantom power switch, so it runs straight to the board or the PA without extra gear
This is a used unit, so expect some cosmetic wear from a working life on stage and in the studio – but the circuitry is what makes the M80 a staple for touring and session bassists, and that’s what you’re getting. It’s the kind of pedal you set once, trust completely, and forget is even there until you need that channel switch mid-song.
Runs on a single 9-volt battery or a Dunlop ECB003 AC adapter (adapter not included).
