MXR bass compressor for control over your bass tone
The MXR M87B Bass Compressor is a bass compressor that balances the dynamics of your bass guitar with precision. It helps you manage level differences in your playing while keeping punch and definition intact. That makes this compressor pedal a strong fit for bassists looking for a consistent sound in rehearsals, live performance and recording.
The studio-quality compression allows anything from subtle tone enhancement to firmer compression. This lets you shape the effect around your playing style and the role your bass needs to fill in the mix.
MXR M87B with direct visual feedback
What makes the MXR M87B especially practical is its 10-segment LED meter, which shows in real time how much compression is being applied. That gives you a clear and fast overview, especially when you want to see exactly what is happening to your signal during a live set or studio session.
Controls for Input, Output, Attack, Release and Ratio let you fine-tune the compression in detail. Attack determines how quickly compression starts, while release sets how fast the pedal lets go again after a peak in your signal.
Bass compressor pedal with clear signal and rugged build
The MXR M87B uses C.O.T.A. (Constant Headroom Technology) for wide dynamic range and clear signal processing without distortion. True bypass keeps your dry signal pure when the pedal is switched off, which is useful if you want your bass tone to stay as direct as possible.
The solid metal housing is built for intensive use. If you want a bass compressor that performs reliably on stage and in the studio, this MXR is a strong choice for keeping your sound tight and controlled.
