A master 3-band EQ section lets you dial in your ideal bass sound for clean or distorted tones. Keep an MXR Bass D.I.+ in your gig bag and be ready for whatever comes your way.

Some gigs and sessions call for loud, over-the-top bass distortion, the MXR M80 D.I.+ has all the punch and pummel you'll ever need. The Bass D.I.+ has you covered from classic rock overdrive to full-on metal distortion. The grind and growl you can coax from this preamp will make you smile. A built-in noise gate helps keep extraneous noise down, and a blend function lets you mix you clean and dirty signal together to create the perfect bass tone.

Awesome D.I.

Music Background: Simi-pro musician
I've been completely satisfied with the MXR M-80. Live or in the studio it has never let me down. The virsitility of this pedal blows me away from how it is powered (AC, 9 volt battery or phantom powe... read more [+]red) to the tone controls. I wasn't sure about how much I would use the distortion, but I have worked into my sound here and there. I know there are better distortion effects out there, but it's still descent. I didn't buy it for the distortion anyway. The quality and cleanliness of the signal coming out of the M-80 is flawless, completely noise free. Highly recommended! close [-]

Very nice.

The MXR has a dedicated drive channel with some knobs to fine tune your distortion sound (as well as a useful noise gate), but if you're not as interested in having a drive channel, you'll probably get more tonal options out of the SANS. close [-]

My Sales Engineer helped me place the order and advised when the guitar would be shipped. Once Sweetwater received the guitar, it was quickly set up and I received it the next day. The guitar was in tune and set up properly.
