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. 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.
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
