MXR® Blackout™ Series Limited Edition Pedals

With high-quality bass effects built from the ground up specifically for bass players, MXR Bass Innovations is the world’s bestselling line of bass pedals.

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, MXR released a limited edition set of the line’s two most popular stompboxes—the MXR Bass Compressor and the MXR Bass Envelope Filter. Dressed in a stealth finish, these Blackout Series pedals feature a matte black housing with gloss black text and a bright yellow LED. Same great tone and durability with a classy new look that will hold down the look and tone of any pedalboard. Limited to just 1,500 pieces each.

The MXR Bass Compressor boasts a complete array of controls—Attack, Release, Ratio, Input, and Output—that allow you to easily fine-tune your sound, from subtle peak limiting to hard squashed compression effects. With exceptional transparency, this allows your full dynamic range to shine through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, indicated by the ten highly visible gain-reduction status LEDs. Constant Headroom Technology gives you all the headroom you need for a clear performance.

The MXR Bass Envelope Filter is equipped with separate Dry and Effect controls for blending effected and direct signals so that you can bring the funk without losing the low end. Its wide range of filter tones can be shaped with the Decay and Q controls, and a simple twist of the Sensitivity knob can tailor the pedal for your attack—as well as adjust for passive or active basses. The Bass Envelope Filter's power supply circuitry is designed to withstand over-voltage or polarity mishaps, and its true-bypass switching preserves your tone in bypass mode.
