MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe Pedal

This analog bass pedal offers players two independent octave voices and a mid+ switch to boost your midrange frequencies, all with huge amounts of headroom.

This dual-voice bass octave pedal from MXR Bass Innovations offers the sound, functionality and tone-shaping options that you've been craving for your bass rig. Compact, lightweight and easily powered by a single 9-volt battery, the M288 Bass Octave pedal utilizes MXR's own 18-volt Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) that provides the kind of studio-performance headroom and superior tracking you've only dreamed about until now.

Use the Dry knob to mix your direct bass signal with the octave effect, or hit the Mid+ switch to add up to +14dB of internally adjustable low-mid punch (400Hz) or midrange pop (850Hz). Bass players will love the two separately processed and individually voiced octave controls -- Growl (for throaty, midrange octave-below tone) and Girth (for deep and smooth octave below).

The Bass Octave Deluxe comes in a durable, lightweight aluminum casting and has the same high-quality jacks and switches that have made MXR pedals the road-ready standard on pedal-boards around the world for over 30 years.
