MXR BASS COMPRESSOR M87B BLACKOUT LIMITED EDITION
Bass has very specific compression needs, and bassists can't afford to borrow pedals from guitarists. The M87 Bass Compressor is the perfect example.
Follow the line.
The bass's role in the band directly determines the sound it should adopt. In order to ensure a good foundation and a comfortable carpet to support and propel the rest of the instruments, the bass must be well held and the volume sufficiently constant so that your line doesn't get lost in the mix. The danger, of course, is to kill all the dynamics of your sound, which inevitably happens when you don't have the right settings.
No more compromises!
Before the MXR M87 Bass Compressor, you could compress your bass using guitar pedals. This condemned you to an overly crushed sound and sacrificed bass. Or you could achieve a more convincing result using expensive studio racks that nobody would dare take on tour. Fortunately, in 2011, MXR released the pedal that all bassists have been waiting for: a compressor specifically designed for low frequencies, with direct access to the settings corresponding to this need.
It's all there...
It all starts with the invaluable visual indicator represented by the Gain Reduction meter: it shows both the magnitude of the compressor's effect and its reaction time, so you can immediately adapt your settings to what you're seeing. The indispensable attack and release time knobs are also present, as are four fixed compression ratio choices and two input and output level settings. This extreme flexibility is at the service of uncompromising sound reproduction, thanks to Constant Headroom Technology, which ensures that even at very high levels of compression, there's never any saturation. And to top it all off, this true studio compressor has the same size as a classic MXR pedal.
