From Dunlop's MXR Bass Innovations line comes the MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe pedal. The Bass Fuzz Deluxe gives you a cutting and bold bass fuzz tone that's ideal for modern playing styles. It's based on a vintage fuzz pedal that's been modified for the bass frequency range and tweaked to perfection. In addition to Fuzz and Tone controls, you also get separate Wet and Dry level controls, so you can go from dry with a touch of crunch to nothing but fuzz with the MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe pedal.

MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe Fuzz Pedal at a Glance:


Wet and Dry controls let you mix your tone to taste


Designed to preserve the fundamental tone of your bass


Unique distortion circuitry based on a modified fuzz pedal


Wet and Dry controls let you mix your tone to taste





One of the most important things that sets the Bass Fuzz Deluxe apart from typical bass fuzz pedals is its independent Wet and Dry volume controls. Instead of merely blending the affected and unaffected sounds together, these controls let you create the illusion that you're running your bass through two separate amplifiers. The Bass Fuzz Deluxe makes it easy to preserve the dynamic punch of your dry bass sound while adding in the perfect amount of grit.





Designed to preserve the fundamental tone of your bass





Another very important thing about the Bass Fuzz Deluxe (and MXR's bass pedals in general) is the way it manages to preserve the fundamental sound of your instrument. There's nothing worse than stepping on a bass pedal and immediately thinking, "Where did my bass go?" Rest assured - no matter how much you crank the fuzz or pull back the dry volume, the Bass Fuzz Deluxe will keep your low-end punch intact.





Unique distortion circuitry based on a modified fuzz pedal





If you're noticing a distinctly "vintage" vibe in the Bass Fuzz Deluxe's tone, then you're not mistaken. Here's a cool fact about this particular bass pedal: Far from reinventing the wheel, MXR began designing the Bass Fuzz Deluxe by taking a tried-and-true vintage fuzz pedal and modifying it. The result is a classic fuzz tone that's both perfect for your bass's range and tweaked to have a more modern edge.
