in a live situation, having used plenty of other bass overdrives, the overdrive on this pre-amp is far better than the video makes it sound, its full, throaty and not harsh while remaining bassy.
Lol thats funny, MXR has like 100 differect kinds of bass distortion pedals, auto wahs etc... Why wont they concentrate on just 1 per kind? Nice sound, but all the respect goes to EHX Bass Big Muff. Small, Simple, Amazing.
mhhm, I don't know. I never used it in front of my amp, because there no need to do this in my situation. It would ruin the sound of my Ampeg V4BH. ;)
@firstriotbooking Hi, I know if you can connect this pedal MXR m80 power amp to a Model T. 1050 amp .. I be able to drive it to full power? I would like to create me a power amplifier mxr80 + 4x10 cabinet .. I can do?
I like the sound of the ehx metaphors much more than the sound of the m80+, BUT the mxr m80 seem's to be better for "live-and-to-the-road-use" (groundlift, less noise, less hum). Really I don't know I think about selling the m80 and buy a ehx metaphors again (I don't use the noisy compressor)....
the metaphors a preamp with a more vintage style character (like an ampeg tube amp or a bassman). the m80 sounds is a modern preamp type (gallienkrueger). BUT neither the metaphors sounds like ampeg amp nor the m80 like a gallienkrueger amp. it's only the style of the preamps
i have this and if you adjust the setting it plays like a beast

i think that when you turn the distortion on the color switch becomes active automatically even if it's de-pressed.
