MXR Bass D.I.+

MXR Bass D.I.+ M80 — Active DI Box for Electric Bass

The MXR M80 Bass D.I.+ is an active direct box built for bassists who need a clean, shaped signal ready for the front-of-house desk or a recording interface. It functions as a standalone preamp and tone-shaping tool, capable of replacing a stage amp when going direct is the only option.

Key Features

• Active preamp with balanced XLR DI output
• 3-band EQ for precise tonal control over bass, mid, and treble frequencies
• Integrated noise gate to cut hum, buzz, and interference between notes
• Accepts 48V phantom power or a standard 9V battery
• Ground lift switch to eliminate ground loop hum
• Durable all-metal enclosure in standard pedal format

Ideal For

The MXR M80 is a go-to for bassists running direct at gigs without a backline amp, for studio sessions where a distinct preamp colour is needed, and for players who want a dependable tone-shaping buffer in their pedalboard signal chain. The onboard noise gate proves especially useful in loud stage environments or when running multiple effects pedals.
