wow...looks like they took a couple of blog posts down (2005 and 2006 are missing)...but yeh, looks like they had a prototype at Bass Player Live and will have something at NAMM next month...

[rob_thebassman]

ah right.. i look forward to finding more about it

[rob_thebassman]

http://link.brightcove.com/services/...d=658008299001 found a video with it on, no demo thou

[bongomania]

I'll give it a shake when it actually becomes available.

[rob_thebassman]

looks more versitile than other mxr comps, this had input control

[bongomania]

Ooh, and it looks like it has a row of LEDs for metering. That would be very cool, not many pedals have good metering.

if its as good as it looks im gunna have to invest :P not in disperate need for a compressor as ive got an orange crush 50 amp which compresses abit, but wouldnt hurt to have abit more :P anythings gotta be better than the behringer bass limiter i took it off my board once i got my orange

Thanks for posting that link! I too shall have to invest in one!

What do you guys think of the signal chain they had set up? I'm planning on putting it last, perhaps second last after my chorus...thoughts?

Just went into a different browser and saw that I had that blog post still up! I cut and paste it here:

Bass Player Live 2010 Pics
November 29, 2010
We had a blast at Bass Player Live in LA a couple of weeks ago, tons of people stopped by to check out our gear and say hello. They were in for a huge surprise when we unveiled our new pedal developed by our Bass Innovations team – the MXR Bass Compressor. Be sure to stop by our both at NAMM in a few months when we’ll show it again. Check out some of the pictures below of some A-listers who tried it out.


Reggie Hamilton (Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight, Warren Zevon)



Oskar Cartaya



Mike Inez (Alice in Chains)



Justin Meldal-Johnsen (NIN, Beck)



Ethan Farmer (Christina Aguilara)



Darryl Jones (Rolling Stones)



Bryan Beller (Metalocalypse)

which browser mate?

[bongomania]

What he's saying is he already had that page loaded in a different browser, so it was still there even though they have now taken down the post. IOW it wouldn't matter what browser you used now--he just happened to still have that page open from before.

Exactly...I don't know why they would take it down though...

This M81 definitely could be a winner....

"Studio Quality Compressor"
Separate Attack/Release controls
In/Out Gain
The (what looks to be) Switched Comp. Ratio
"Constant Headroom Technology"
True Bypass
And Metering

Looks righteous

Yup...why they gotta wait until NAMM...

[analog-cabin]

Just found out it will indeed be at NAMM, and should be shipping 6 weeks after. It's actually now called the M87.

Can't wait.

They eliminated the 4 knob AC powered compressor though; too bad I really like mine but also like the idea of a decent pedal compressor with good metering

4 Knob compressor? One of the guitar ones? Which model?
