I’ve had this pedal for a number of years now simply incredible. Bulletproof. The color button is the magical power button for the universe! Definition, richness, kung fu punch! Next to a compression pedal, this puppy is always on especially for “clean“ playing. Cheers.

[CoolGuyAtlas]

The way you guys do reviews is the best on YouTube, so I'm glad you guys started doing guitar stuff.

[JLP-]

I gave this pedal to a friend in need and changed his life. I've had a few of them and they are amazing

[jamesalfaro]

I bought this pedal 20 years ago and had tried with different basses which make me consider it as very versatile, of course….. it isn’t a magical pedal. The settings for a Rickenbacker doesn’t work for a PBass or a Steinberger or Stingray unless that is what you want. Great as a direct box and user friendly controls. Highly recommended !!!

[andresfgb]

I love this pedal, Is part of my sound, the color button is always on that brings sound like a tube amplifier. I recommend use with overdrive and modern distortion pedals for example Darkglass Microtubes. Awesome pedal.

[LinusKnight]

@6:56 my fav bassist on this channel and WOLFPACK IN DA

[TvoyuMamkuMav]

I’ve sold my bass d.i+ 15 years ago because I thought it made the bass sound too glassy and artificial. Now darkglass charges a big buck for that freaking same sound and I want my MXR

[danielschmaderer]

When I owned this pedal, I absolutely loved it. It’s definitely the best pedal I’ve ever owned. I wish I never sold it. I’m going to have to buy it again.

[elorens]

I bought this unit when it came out un the late 90's/early 2000's, the knobs were smaller in the earlier version, still have it, built like a tank, great sounding stomp.

[jjburritt]

I have used many different preamps. The MXR is the only one I have kept and use regularly. I love the colour button it works amazing with my Gibson and my Warwick straight to board and FOH and my in ears! The distortion is a bit more than I really want but I found the blend knob most of the way left can get me close to an overdriven amp sound.

17:29 I’ve been watching you guys since this channel was started. I was a regular at Instrumental Music and thought it was awesome that they had a bass-specific YouTube channel. In the time since, this has become one of the absolute best gear demonstration channels on the whole platform. Seeing one of my comments shown in one of your videos makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I just subscribed to the Guitar Channel knowing that it will have the same consistently excellent quality that this channel has shown over the years. Thank you for doing what you do!

[paulsoto]

I have used this exact one on my base for over 15 years. Still use now that my son has taken over my equipment.

[jjburritt]

I have used many preamps over the years but this MXR is my go to and I have used it for several years now. Awesome pedal!

[JohnAldenDavis]

That gate function on the distortion channel seems like it would be such an asset with other fuzz/distortion effects, especially with a studio setup!

[GingerBass]

I've had mine for like 16 or so years. The battery connection just stopped working and the knobs have crackled for a few years but it still sounds amazing. The color switch helps me get my active emg pbass closer to the spector sound i lust after. I usually bypass my amps preamp so I'd like to just get a power amp because this is the heart of my tone. I hope to get another in the near future, maybe the yellow edition.

[BiShOuPa]

I've had this one for a while now, and I've tried a bunch of preamps before actually chosing it. EHX Battalion, sansamp, Ampeg SCR-DI and more, but the feeling was just great with the MXR. The OD is very nice too. I use it all the time, on rehearsals and live.
If you're on a budget, check the JOYO Monomyth, it's a killer.

[rockereivanivan]

I was watching this video thinking about how I used to use it and then boom my own comment appears in the video haha love you guys this channel rocks lml

[Theospeak]

I swear by mine. Got one for my church as well. It makes a difference.

[BubbaBass_Official]

I LOVE this pedal. I use it for a tube grit inspired sound and a Boss ODB3 for my distortion and it sounds massive!!!

[craighenshaw]

Hey guys. I have had one of these and used it for years. I was looking to change it (you know new and shiny syndrome). After watching this I'm gonna keep it and experiment further.. thanks for saving me some money 😂
