Review: Uno dei pre per basso migliori sul mercato. Overdrive stupendo con switch dedicato che garantisce una grande versatilità.
Review: El MXR M80 ha cumplido todas mis expectativas. Fue una decisión difícil porque tuve que elegir entre éste y el SansAmp de Tech21 sólo basándome en reviews y comentarios en internet, pero debo decir que la versatilidad y la amplia gama de tonos que el M80 permite es algo que me tiene satisfecho y sobre todo contento. El efecto del pedal sí que le da otra sensación al tono y ese botón de 'color' está del lujo, le da una profundidad y grosor al tono que me encantó. La distorsión me gustó bastante, sobre todo porque la banda de ecualización la afecta con mucha sensibilidad y puedes ir de algo leve muy cálido a una distorsión muy atascada. En conclusión gran pedal, muy versátil, muchos tonos y posibilidades.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for something to work as a preamp to record directly into a Tascam portastudio - would this do the trick?  Or would a Sansamp be better?**
A: I don’t know the Sansamp but the M80 is a pre-amp so should work. They also make a pre-amp M81 which doesn’t have distortion  and is a smaller form factor. I’m not particular fond of the M80 distortion but otherwise it’s a good solid DI/pre-amp with EQ.

**Q: Can I use INSTRUMENT output to go to my stage amp; and have it work whether or not the XLR is connected?  Also, does the volume only affect the XLR?**
A: I'm not sure since I do not use it that way.    I use the XLR right into the mains.  I am assuming that you would like to manipulate the 1/4" volume as you would with the XLR?  I will say that this is a great pedal as a DI and not as a preamp per se.  When I use my stage amp, I do not use this pedal as I connect my pedal board inline on the preamp and then take the signal post effect to the board from the preamp.  If you would like, I can try the 1/4" set up and get back to you.  i will be playing this coming Sunday and can leave you a message Sunday afternoon.

**Q: No power supply?**
A: Nope. You can use a 9v battery or a standard 9v DC pedal power supply.

**Q: Can noise gate be used without distrotion ?**
A: No, it cannot. The clean channel is SUPER clean with no need for a gate anyways. If you need a gate pedal, I recommend the Decimator for sure!

Fantastic pre-amp for the money. Prefer it over far more pricey options. Love the contour button that scoops the mids! Sounds amazing through my amp or direct to front of house!
