MXR MB301 Bass Synth

Transform your bass into a dirty funk machine with the MXR Bass Synth. It serves up intergalactic grooves and vintage analog vibes with an array of monophonic synth sounds that harken back to hits by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Parliament Funkadelic and more. Designed with low-end professor and tone expert Ian Martin Allison, this powerhouse of a pedal offers thunderous sub-octave, expressive envelope and lush modulation effects with killer tracking and sustain.

Dive into your groove with a full, player-friendly set of controls to shape every detail of your bass synth tone. The Sub Mix knob sets how much of the sub octave is mixed with the main synth signal, so you can go as fat and low as you want. The Mod knob creates shimmering liquid tones from subtle, musical movement to bold, brain-bending pulses, while the Envelope knob sets the filter response from elastic bounce to slow, syrupy sweeps. The Mix, Cutoff and Resonance knobs let you set the perfect tone and feel for your setup: mix dry and wet signals, set the filter cutoff frequency and amplify that frequency for extra punch.

Finally, the Voice knob adds additional harmonically-tuned oscillators for more complex tones, while the Shape knob selects your preferred waveform: smooth and subtle triangle, rich and aggressive sawtooth or fat and punchy square.

If you want to skip the setup and get right to work, we have eight different presets designed by Ian Martin Allison to get you right into the groove. Each preset is inspired by classic synthesizer sounds, from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" to Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole" You can easily flip through them by pressing the Preset button.

For real bassists, the MXR Bass Synth has a number of additional parameters, from oscillator and modulation mix to compression and tracking style. You can also use the pedal in stereo output mode, use an external switch such as the MXR Split + Tap or Tap Tempo Switch to cycle through presets, use a volume pedal to mix setting configurations and much more.

Whether you're reenacting pop hits in a cover band, keeping it low in church or going on a world tour, this pedal will give you instant synth bass magic. Go all out with the MXR Bass Synth.
