InTheory Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Has anyone tried this pedal? Is there is any tone suck and how bad it is. Quote
Sibob Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 The new one? The M85? I've not tried it yet (not in shops yet, in the next week or so perhaps). Any collab between two excellent pedal companies (MXR & Fuzzrocious) is probably not going to result in tone suck Plus it has a blend Si Quote
InTheory Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah that's the one, ive read that the mxr pedals have massive tone suck, but that's always been in relation to it guitat pedal counter parts. Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Not had that experience with mxr products- I have a significant number of both their bass and guitar pedals Quote
Sibob Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 [quote name='InTheory' timestamp='1426410309' post='2717646'] Yeah that's the one, ive read that the mxr pedals have massive tone suck, but that's always been in relation to it guitat pedal counter parts. [/quote] Not read that either. Seems odd too, seeing as the vast majority of their pedals are True Bypass, meaning what you read must refer to the 'ON' sound.....which is essentially just not liking the tone of the pedal lol Si Quote
1976fenderhead Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I have 3 MXR bass pedals at the moment (octave, filter, compressor), zero tone suck. The 105q does suck tone though, but that's different... Quote
tonyf Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Ditto with all the above. Got an Envelope Filter and a Bass Octave on my board and they've been a revelation in terms of tone and quality. Love them. Quote

Sibob Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 This is the Overdrive rather than the Distortion, but it seems to be fairly clearly stated as True Bypass: [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/28vruvt.png[/IMG] Some new MXR pedals may be buffered, like the Bass Preamp (much like the Darkglass B7K is buffered to allow for the DI out), but I imagine they're largely all standard True Bypass. Perhaps an email to them would help. There's probably a case for MXR to tidy up (standardise) the specs/features for each pedal on the site. Si Quote

dannybuoy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 No tone suck from my new Phase 90 either. Quote
