The MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter is an all-analog pedal designed to produce classic, funk-style, wah-wah envelope filter tones without sacrificing low-end integrity. It features separate Dry and Effect level controls for precise signal blending, alongside Sensitivity, Decay, and Q knobs for extensive sound shaping.
Key Features and Details:
Optimal Low End: The dedicated "Dry" control ensures the original bass signal remains present, preventing the loss of bass definition.
Tailored Controls: Features a "Sensitivity" knob to adjust to different playing dynamics and "Decay" / "Q" knobs to control the sweep and intensity.
Rugged Build: Housed in a durable, lightweight aluminum casing, sized similarly to a Phase 90 for better pedalboard space utilization.
Analog Performance: Delivers organic analog filter sounds with true-bypass switching for superior tone retention when off.
Versatile Power: Runs on a 9-volt battery or a standard 9-volt power supply (e.g., Dunlop ECB003).
Blackout Version: A matte black version (M82B) with bright yellow LED is available for a stealthier aesthetic.
The pedal is generally regarded for its ability to create classic funky tones while remaining easy to use on stage.
