Designed in collaboration with bassist and tone expert Ian Martin Allison, this pedal is your gateway to iconic synth bass sounds with intuitive controls and studio-grade sound quality.

Turn your bass into a filthy funk machine with the MXR Bass Synth. It serves up intergalactic grooves and vintage analog-style vibes with a range of monophonic synth tones that call back to hits from Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Parliament Funkadelic, and more.

Explore a multidimensional deep dive with MXR MB301 Bass Synth

Bassists find the user-friendly control set as accessible to players with synth experience as it is to those taking their first plunge. Though the sounds the Bass Synth molds may be complex, creating them is fairly straightforward. Use the Shape button to establish the foundational waveform, then adjust the Mod and Envelope knobs to set the amount of modulation present in the sound and the filter response, respectively. Further tweak your tone with help from the Mix, Cutoff, and Resonance controls, where you can blend the dry and wet signals, manage the cutoff frequency, and inject your tone with an extra boost. The MXR Bass Synth is capable of bass sounds that are out of this world, no doubt, but it also provides hours of joyful and surprising sonic experimentation.
