Product ReviewsMXR M81 Bass Guitar Preamp Pedal with 3-Band EQ

MXR M81

Great Bass pre-amp! I play a Alembic 5 fretted and fret-less basses and put my M81 on my music stand. I can switch basses and EQ's at ease! I don't have to bend over! I also send the direct out which the soundman says is pretty clean!
love it!Read full review...

Solid EQ & DI Pedal for Bass

This is a great preamp pedal for bass. Solidly constructed, and packed full of features.

The 3 band eq with sweepable mid frequency offers plenty of tweaks to my sound, and I can make any volume adjustments needed.

It also lets me use the line out for my in-ear monitor mix while simultaneously sending the xlr out straight to the board.

This pedal stays on my board, always on, and if I wasn't able to bring my pedalboard with me, this pedal would still end up coming along.

(Used with my Warwick RockBass 5-String with Passive pickups.)Read full review...

Transparent boost and EQ

True to the many reviews I read online before purchasing, this preamp is very transparent, providing boost and EQ without adding its own color/flavor to the sound. Great for matching a passive instrument's output to that of an active one when switching between. So if boost and a bit of EQ are what you're looking for this may be the pedal for you. If on the other hand you're seeking a massive tonal change beyond boosting what's already there this one will probably leave you wanting.Read full review...

Best Preamp

Killer Preamp. I use it on my upright and my electric basses. You can dial up just about any tone you want and it is a great sounding direct box also. A mini version of the old MXR M80 and sounds better!Read full review...
