Beef Up Your Bass Tone!

The MXR M89 Bass Overdrive pedal gives you the fat and gritty punch you want plus the control you need to make it work with the rest of your bass rig. Designed specifically to handle the added low frequency of your bass, the M89 Bass Overdrive just gets beefier the harder you hit in and will never get anemic the way a guitar overdrive pedal will. With a broad range of drive at your command, the M89 lets you dial in anything from a touch of grit to full-throttle fuzz. The Clean control lets you blend in as much clean sound as you like, allowing you to preserve your transients and fill out the bottom end. If you want punch, drive, grit, and control, then you'll be glad you grabbed an MXR M89 Bass Overdrive pedal from Sweetwater.

MXR M89 Bass Overdrive Surprise!

After a recent disappointing experience with one of the current "marquee" bass distortion/od's getting all the heavy metal fanboy love, I found myself in a situation where I needed a reasonably priced and accessible bass od to cover me in a pinch. I was running a fancy (and very expensive) Finnish OD/DI that fell apart on stage, mere months out of the warranty period.

I swung by the Sweetwater showroom on the way to my next gig and grabbed an MXR M89 to get me through a few tour dates while I figured out what my next (and hopefully permanent) OD choice was gonna be. I gotta say, I am shocked at how great the MXR M89 performed! It sounds just as good, if not better than many bass ODs costing 2 to 3 times the price! And it is so simple to use.

I grabbed it on the way to a show, threw it on my board and was able to get a killer sound immediately during sound check. No hassle, no overly complicated knob twiddling. Just solid, easy to use and rich sounding OD in seconds from plugging it in. Sounded awesome in the full band mix and solo.

While not the most fashionable pedal to have on the board, I couldn't be happier with the sound, reliability and price. I think this will be my go-to bass OD for the foreseeable future!

Thanks Sweetwater and MXR!!!

Bassists get some pedal love...

Needed a good overdrive sound without loss of tone or definition. Blend knob did the trick!

Dang!

I bought the Darkglass Vintage Microtubes pedal because I figured boutique is best. I couldn"t get it out of my head that I should"ve at least tried this MXR overdrive first. I was right. I decided to buy it and try it and glad I did. I LOVE IT! The darkglass pedal was cool and all but this M89 bass overdrive was exactly what I was looking for... You can get everything from mild overdrive to a make the crowd put their fingers in their ears distortion. And a big shout out to my sales engineer José Gonzales.

MXR OVERDRIVE!!

Great overdrive sounds right away!MXR has another great bass pedal.
The drive is just enough w/o being in your face.I have the(other) yellow overdrive pedal and it has that ripping o/d that I grew to love ,but I think this one has just what I have been needing.
Plenty of tweaking with CLEAN TONE & DRIVE controls.I'm using a Mesa tube head and they compliment each other.

Sooooo Pure!!

Warmest overdrive I've owned to date. Doesn't do the really heavy distortion stuff, but wow does that overdrive sound soooo pure!! The white LED is cool too, very distinct from my other pedals.
