OMG! It was my first DI Pedal too and I still have it. The MXR Bass DI+ is a great pedal!
Yeah bro!!! I really like this pedal. I love it! It’s a great Swiss knife of a pedal. I still have mine I use it every now and then.
Thanks for the support bro!
Love this pedal. I need to own it again! The blend also goes a long way with the distortion. This pedal keeps it simple. A lot of times, that’s all you need and all it takes.
Agree! I love this pedal so much. It makes my job easier. Thanks for the comment and the support.
Just bought one as fed up of lagging my bass amp around. Great review and can't wait to gig with it. Straight to FOH for me!
I used it that way and it does a great job. Specially with both switches. Gives you tons of options to work with. Hope you enjoy the pedal! Thanks for the support.
@@herobass yes it’s nice and simple which is great. 👌👌
This is a very nice review. You are a bass hero in that regard for sure.
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for the support. They are appreciated.
I couldn’t decide between this or the Ampeg. Awesome review
Thanks a million!!!
The ampeg is way more expensive but I'm not sure what else it has. The mxr looks like it has everything I'd need.
Thanks for the comment! The MXR BASS DI+ to me have everything I’ve needed and works amazingly well. I don’t have much experience with the Ampeg.
@@herobass great video! I just needed a di to plug into my mixboard, but the fuzz and eq will definitely be put to use!
@@frankpiccirillo3972 the only reason I went with the Ampeg was Sweetwater gave me a deal I couldn’t walk away from
Been looking forward to this!
Hope you enjoy it! This pedal is special to me, so I hope I made it justices. Thanks is for the comment!!!
I got mine at Hallandale also when they first came out.. really liked it.. loading out my spkr cab fell on it damaging the foot buttons.. I sold it a repair guy for a few bucks.. I should get another because I can’t really find my sound on my VTBass DI..
I’ve been thinking of picking up one of these for a D.I.
Good video.
They work great. I use it most of the time with passive basses and I really like it. For active I uses the Darkglass B7K. Thanks for the comment.
Nice demo man! sounds really good
Thanks a million my friend!
Your demo was quite insightful
Thank you very much! A appreciate it. Love that it was helpful.
Nice one, like the pedal man.
yes sir!
NICE REVIEW! Love it!!!
There also seems to be some LPF and HPF going on when the color is engaged. Running the mid at max with the color engaged can help bring those mids back in but still give you a “colored” tone.
Agree. If you see the Frequency Analyzer some part of the high mid get cut. It’s not much but yeah I agree with you also the low and high and gets clean up a bit. Thanks for the comment!
@@herobass Thanks for that Frequency Analysis in the video. I'd be curious to see one with how changing the different eq's would react with the color switch.
I didn’t go that way because the possibility were endless. Since the color button emphasizes the Lowend and the highend cutting some of the midrange, I try to focus on the one setting I believe people would go for initially. You bring a great point. I’ll keep that in mind for future pedal videos. Thanks again!
Hi! I'm trying to choose between this mxr pedal and the ampeg DI. The thing is that I want to use monitor headphones on stage. With the Ampeg I could do this, but I dont know if I can plug headphones to this pedal. May be the parallel output? But then I fear I would only get sound on one side of the head phones, since its a mono output.
Thanks for the comment. Personally, I don’t have experience with the amped DI pedal.
I’ve use the MXR BASS DI pedal in my board or recording not as an monitor, because most of the places I’ve played I have an in ear system. I have use this as my amp, going straight to the front of house, and it works great. And yes, if you try to get a signal from the parallel output I believe it will be a mono signal.
When I originally got then MXR bass DI, I believe ampeg pedal was not around. I do like the option to practice in silence without disturbing the ones around me.
Regarding the MXR, the best selling point for me was the tone versatility, the 2 switches for the EQ and Drive, the outputs and the price. If the ampeg checks all of those or any of your musical needs, then go for it.
I really hope I shed some light on this topic. Thanks again and please if you haven’t subscribed to the channel for more content like this. Have a great one.
Thanks man
@basshero the Gate know is working when the distortion os disengaged? I mean, can you use it to get rid of noise in the clean signal?
The Gate works with the distortion.
The EQ and the distortion side have 2 different switches and work independently.
This DI gets really good reviews but this is the first video where I actually thought it sounded good (many others set the distortion to extremes that I couldn´t stand). Here the light crunch was what I thought I might actually use.
Thanks for that. Personally I think like you, to much distortion from this unit can sound a bit to harsh. For Bass I prefer the sound of Overdrive to distortion. That’s just me. Again thanks for the support.
can you explain the groundlift/phantom on it?
The ground lift is for the removal of any ground or unwanted noise that may originate from the pedal when connected to other sources.
The phantom power button works when you need a power source for the pedal and don’t have a 9v battery or a power supply for it. Using this option will take power from the mixer that is connected to.
Both these options work with the button on the down position. Thanks for the comment and hope that helps.
@@herobass if I connected to the XLR out and using 9v dc adaptor and my bass is active then I press the button down, what will happen? is it something wrong or not? thanks
To my experience, it would continue to work only as a ground lift. Again, I use this pedal mainly with passive basses. I don’t think anything would go bad. Also, when recording, I use the XLR and the output at the same time to double track the bass, with the ground lift and thing have not gone wrong. That I know of…
When I have an active bass, I go for my Darkglass B7Kv2 (updated video on the B7K, coming on a later date to the channel.)
Hope that helps.
I have a question sir. Why other mxr m80 have different knobs. And no bass innovation words under the brand name? Thanks
This one of first models. I had this pedal for over 10 years. The new one have the different knobs and the bass innovation words on it. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment.
@@herobass Thanks for the response sir. Is it versatile preamp and sturdy for travelling?
Yeah! I love it. It very easy to throw it into the the gig bag. And for travel it’s super cool tools.
@@herobass Big thanks sir. I'll get one of this. 👍
I'm planning to get the other Electro-Harmonix Battalion which is bass preamp also. But i see this mxr is different and have more reviews than the battalion. How you define the battalion sir?
Súbele el volumen al bajo jajajaja, creo que confundes bajo con bajo volumen
