New mxr bass distortion!

Didn't you post an MXR Fuzz video on this thread? What happened to it? Very confusing:angel:.. ? Was it removed? Indecisive? That's a fun word too!:smug:

Marc

Did I? Hmm. What to wear this morning? Should I have cereal or toast? Toast. No wait. Cereal. Dammit I can't decide!

Any other names you wanna call me? I appreciate the effort but I think you could do much better. Then again, probably not.

So when is this new bass fuzz coming out? Oh wait, it was a distortion right? A rat pedal? Anyone see that demo? It's pretty cool.
 
And the moment you've been waiting for:



THAT is some genuinely effective advertising! Kudos.

Does anyone know if this is like the latest MXR Bass Chorus on which the tone control(s) only affect the effected signal? (I believe that's how it works). If so, brilliant idea to combine that with a Dry/Wet balance. In any case, I wish all pedals were that way.

EDIT: Here we go, per MXR:

"Back in the day, if you wanted to use a distortion pedal and keep your low end intact, you had to split your clean and dirty signals between two amps. With the MXR Bass Distortion, there’s no such need—this pedal puts control over the clean/dirty mix right at your feet with separate Dry and Wet level controls. The Tone control, which only affects the distortion signal, is a simple high cut filter for dialing back the top end, and the Distortion control sets the distortion signal’s intensity. :
