A Pedal Designed with Bass in Mind
Melvin Lee Davis, notable bassist, producer, and music director for the one and only Chaka Khan, has teamed with NUX to design his eponymous bass preamp and DI. This potent pedal teems with features and available options geared especially for the bassist who demands a versatile and dynamic sound. Utilizing both onboard and digital features via the NBP-5 editing software, the MLD Preamp delivers surgical control first with a number of amp models and IR cabinets to lay the sonic groundwork and then with a selection of Volume, Blend, Drive, and 3-band EQ knobs to dial in the exact sound you crave. An amalgamation of tone-shaping magic and applicable functionality, this pedal also features a slew of connectivity options via USB, 1/4-inch, and DI outputs for any number of playing and recording scenarios. Looking to record? Connect straight to your computer via the USB audio streaming function without the need for a traditional audio interface. After a balanced, undiluted signal? Go from bass to pedal to mixer via the XLR DI output and regain control over the entire scope of your tone. Bassists at Sweetwater have a sense for when a piece of gear is actually designed by one of their own, and the Melvin Lee Davis Preamp + DI pedal from NUX is, without a doubt, a proper tool of the trade.
