Review: Simple, noiseless and lots of tone shaping options - Very happy with this. Oozes quality. I'm still experimenting with the range of tones it can do. I'm using it between my floor pedals and the out front PA system, so no bass amp or cab in my chain (monitoring via IEM from the desk). Firstly, the bass mid and treble controls work well and with no noise (in any mode), and they cover a lot tone shaping possibilities. MXR seem to have designed and placed the tone frequency controls in just the right tonal areas. Using just the clean channel is good but when you use the color button there's a big scooped boost which sounds instantly great. I'm going for a mostly clean tone, so I don't really need the gain distortion channel, but I'm finding that if I use the gain channel but with the gain blended right down low, it sounds nicely warm but not distorted. Its a nice tone to work with for most styles. The gain channel automatically uses the color scoop/boost, so sometimes I'll roll back the bass and treble just a little to compensate. My only negative so far, is that I was hoping I'd hear more of the "gate", but I don't hear much happening. I think its affecting the gain distortion trigger which I'm not really using. I was expecting more of a traditional noise gate which would auto switch off the output when I'm not playing - its not that. The gate LED goes on and off but the output stays live. Sometimes I have both hands off the bass, so a proper gate function would have been better for me. Any of that doesn't take off the fact that I like using the MXR80. Its simple and noiseless with lots of tone shaping options. Strange it didn't come with a PSU, but it uses a common Boss / Dunlop type PSU, 9V DC tip negative. Its very low current (less than 200mA). Minor niggle, sometimes - in certain light conditions, its not so easy to see the LED indicators, but this device is the kind of thing you leave on anyway. Also no speaker simulator, but that's really (really) not a deal breaker.
Review: Rugged build quality means it'll survive live gigging and works great in the studio straight in to the desk out ... - The tone out of this little box is phenomenal. Rugged build quality means it'll survive live gigging and works great in the studio straight in to the desk out of the DI. Even better, the extra parallel out means feeding a in-ear monitor is simple and saves pi$$ing off the sound crew having to faff around with your "personal" monitor set up. Love it.
