Get to know them!

When MXR decided to create an all-new M85 Bass Distortion pedal, they enlisted the help of Fuzzrocious Pedals founder Ryan Ratajski, one of the industry's premier authorities on grungy, dirty bass tone. The adventurous bass players at Sweetwater really dig their distortion effects, and this versatile stompbox is a real hit around here. For starters, the M85 gives you a choice between silicone diode or LED clipping, giving you a choice of seriously aggressive distortion or a more open distortion sound. But the distortion itself leaves your fundamental intact, so even without blending in much dry signal, you're left with intelligible tone. And if your highs start to get out of control, you can always tame them with the high-cut tone control. MXR M85 Bass Distortion Effects Pedal Features:

  • A cool bass distortion co-designed with Fuzzrocious Pedals founder Ryan Ratajski
  • Two kinds of classic distortion (silicone diode or LED) in one pedal
  • Distortion affects only higher frequencies, leaving your fundamental full and punchy
  • Separate wet and dry level controls make it easy to dial in the perfect mix
  • Roll off unwanted harmonics and high-frequency overtones with the high cut filter

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
