Jim Dunlop M281 MXR Thump Bass Preamp Pedal

The MXR Thump Bass Preamp is a tone-sweetening, signal-boosting and altogether groove-enhancing machine. This pedal was conceived when the MXR design team and their in-house bass players discovered that the Echoplex Preamp’s sonic secret sauce made for just as delectable a pairing with bass as it does with guitar. Using that circuitry as a foundation, the MXR team added a simple yet potent tone-shaping interface so that can dial in the perfect bass sound for the stage and the studio.Crafting the sound need is easy. The Echoplex Preamp circuit conditions signal with a carefully balanced EQ profile, and this pedal’s tone controls let take it from there. The Treble and Bass knobs cut or boost frequencies at 8 kHz and 40 Hz respectively, while the Mid knob cuts or boosts the midrange as set by the Frequency knob, from 250 Hz to 1 kHz. This range of frequencies was selected to give players maximum flexibility and minimal fuss when refining their bass signal.Whether need to punch up a solo, boost signal in a live mix, or sculpt more edge into the sound of a passive bass, the Thump Bass Preamp packs incredible versatility into an MXR mini housing.

• All the tone-sweetening versatility bass players need in an MXR mini housing
