The MXR Effect Pedals - M80 Bass Direct Box is all the essentials needed for bass rigs in one tough little box. If you need a rugged D.I. for touring and playing live, this preamp with a finely tuned EQ is all you need. Two stages gives you bright and punchy to mellow and dark, plus a custom distortion that can take your tone to next level. This is a must for the minimalist bass player at a great price.
