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, we’re releasing the limited edition MXR Blackout Series; two of our most popular stomp boxes—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.

M87B Blackout Series Bass Compressor

Celebrate 15 years of MXR Bass Innovations with a special edition version of one of its most popular pedals. The MXR Blackout Series Bass Compressor features a stealthy matte black housing with gloss black text and a bright yellow LED for a super sharp aesthetic to match this pedal’s exceptional sound and performance.

As always, 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. CHT™ Constant Headroom Technology gives you all the headroom you need for a clear performance. It’s all packed into a durable, lightweight aluminum housing pedal that’s the size of a Phase 90.

The MXR Blackout Series Bass Compressor is a special edition run of 1,500 pieces. Celebrate low-end greatness with great tone and durability and a classy new look that will hold down the look and tone of any pedalboard.

M82B Blackout Series Envelope Filter

Celebrate 15 years of MXR Bass Innovations with a special edition version of one of its most popular pedals. The MXR Blackout Series Bass Envelope Filter features a stealthy matte black housing with gloss black text and a bright yellow LED for an aesthetic that’s as slick as the pedal’s classic analog envelope filter tones.

Like the standard version, this 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. It’s all packaged in a durable, lightweight, Phase 90-size aluminum housing for the ultimate in portability and pedalboard space-saving dimensions.

The MXR Blackout Series Bass Envelope Filter is a special edition run of 1,500 pieces. Celebrate low-end greatness with great tone and durability and a classy new look that will hold down the look and tone of any pedalboard.
