Trusted musician and artist reviews for MXR M-181 Bass Blowtorch

Modern Bass Fuzz
Hard-hitting fuzz, with very complete controls (volume, bass, mid, treble, blend and gain), also including a "boost" switch and most interestingly a 3-well-chosen-positions Mid switch, allowing you to select the midrange frequency to be pushed. The pedal runs on 18 Volts, though if you run it on 9 Volts, it will sound surprisingly close to a ZVex Woolly Mammoth.

great
BASS holy shit this is a cool pedal. well i need 40 words aah

Fuzz!
This is a great pedal for fuzzing up my Stingray signal without destroying the bottom end. Superb!

Description
A revolutionary concept in bass overdrive.
The M-181 MXR Bass Blowtorch bass overdrive pedal is made to deliver the hottest sounds this side of Hades--from a tube-like growl to full-blown distorted madness. Because the Bass Blowtorch's overdrive is focused in the midrange frequencies, you'll retain your low-end thunder and high-end sizzle while the overdriven mids cut through any mix. An active 3-band EQ with a mid shift switch provides precise signal balancing, while the Blend knob lets you balance the distortion with the direct signal for the exact tone you're after. 18-volt performance equals increased dynamic headroom, clarity, and low noise no matter the volume level, and true bypass circuitry means it's really off when you want it off, leaving your signal completely unaffected.

Great overdrive and distortion
The MXR blowtorch replace the EHX Big Muff Pi bass on my pedal board and what a hellish difference to my tone: the clean pre amp really keeps the low end, the mid shift is a nice touch and the blendable distortion with the clean is my favourite feature. all in all a must for any bassists board
cool but have you tried big muff deluxe
No, but ive kinda gone off the big muff, fuzz isn't really as much my thing as really clear low end mixed with surgical precision blade overdrive is now
