New MXR bass synth pedal released

[Brian45]

Looks and sounds great..

Great runthrough of the pedal by IMA!

[HoorayForAnonyms]

They’ve pitched this really well. Not a full on synth like a Future Impact or Source Audio C4 but more feature rich than the EHX Mono Synth. It seems closer to the Meris Enzo but far better executed. I think it will sell well.

This looks incredible. Could easily replace a few individual pedals straight away. Those presets programmed by IMA are worth the price of admission alone; from the sounds in the demo he’s nailed 8 of the most immediately useful bass synth tones you’d be looking to achieve. 
Can’t wait to get my hands on one. 
Thanks for sharing 👍

Want!

£289 at Bass Direct - but they've already sold out the few they had.

Sounds ace, and with more controls on the front there should be far less faff with secondary functions / apps etc compared to SA pedals.

Very sensibly pitched. The amount of times I get requests for these very preset sounds on the FI and C4 is crazy. I anticipate these will sell very well. I’ll definitely be checking one out. Nice hands-on control and preset capability.  

[Chadu25]

Looking forward to this! I see how nicely responsive it is to IMA's playing like palm mute or staccato notes. Managed to order one. Already sold on prestet 1 and covers alot. Exciting!

This is an actual synth rather than a "synth emulator" like the Boss SY1 / 200?

 

If so, the tracking / lack of glitchiness is incredible - check out IMA's clip above at 12.44 playing a low D on the B string, and (12.55) pulling off onto the low E - effortlessly tracked.

Just Wow!!

[Al Krow]

One thing I would miss on my SY200 is the arpeggiator, which gets use on a couple of live tracks. But layering this with the SY200 could be pretty cool!

 

It's going on the birthday wish-list!

[AinsleyWalker]

Oooh I've been considering rebuying an EHX micro synth for quick flexibility but this seems like it can get the same filtered tones without the huge size (I dont care to use the micro synth as a fuzz-like effect with open filters like many others. The filter section is where the magic is for me.)

Got one arriving tomorrow from dunlop uk! I will be out watching Alanis morrisette in the evening so will have to wait until Thursday to use it! 

[2pods]

Mine is coming tomorrow via Andertons

Oooh! I'm not a big effects user when it comes to bass but that sounds very tempting.

[AxelF]

Anyone know if it can do a clean envelope filter in the same way that it can do a clean octave?

It sounds like you can send just dry bass into it so no reason why the filter can’t be used on that. (There’s an explicit option for the dry to either go through the filter or to bypass it.)

[AxelF]

Aah yeah, great point - thanks!

[paulo m]

This little unit looks & sounds very tempting indeed' those preset sounds are the buisiness.... myself i think i shall wait a while for the used market to flourish.. 😉

[mattpbass]

Sounds great and the tracking seems excellent, but if I read it right there are only 8 presets, and they’re changed by pressing those little buttons? That alone would make it not really a viable gigging alternative to an actual bass synth for anyone but the lightest user.
