You just heard the burly tones of the brand new MXR M85 Bass Distortion, a collaboration between MXR's Bass Innovations department and indie stompbox designer Ryan Ratajski of Fuzzrocious pedals, a company known for its big-bottomed dirt pedals. Fuzzrocious and MXR started with a classic distortion circuit, famous for its nasty demeanor, and re-worked it with big low end and modern bass tones in mind. Its tones are generated either from silicon clipping diodes, for an aggressive sound with enhanced compression, or LED, for an open, dynamic tone with increased gain. You can switch between them easily with the LED/SIL switch. Among the M85's distinctive features are its separate Wet and Dry controls, which eliminates the need for bass players to split their clean and dirty signals between two amps to keep the low frequencies tight and intact. The pedal's tone control only affects the distorted bass signal, working to tailor the treble frequencies for just the right amount of high end bite. As with all MXR products, the M85 Bass Distortion is made with premium components in Benicia, California, USA.

Thank you Andy for being one of the only guitar players I know that can actually play bass!
Gratitude into Hysteria. 👌🏽 nice
Thank you so much for doing a bass centric effects review! I've watching your vids for a long time and am a bassist myself, so it makes me very happy to see you broadening your review types. Keep up the amazing work!
I fucking love this channel! You show us every aspect of the pedal and in a clear and well-produced manner! You know what we want to know and you tell us with no bullshit whatsoever!
Thanks for the great demo. In addition to showing the features and range of the pedal it was great to hear a demo from someone who can actually PLAY BASS! So many demos are just people noodling. Thanks!
Sounds friggin GREAT.
Might invest in getting this for my bass set up. Also yay for Hysteria intro! :D
Of course hes an amazing bass player. Of course he is!
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in a box.
that's a very nice bass distortion indeed, impressed.
Andy rockin' the bass!
I dig that LED sound reminds me of the guyatone Torrid Fuzz.
beatiful pedal...with dry and wet knobs!
From a subtle overdrive to crunchy, fuzzy. It is not "fizzy".
For RATM to Metheny-like.
Nice review. I saw the MXR advert for the pedal and liked the sound, but then all the tones on the other reviews I’ve watched have been too thin and bright. You’ve dialled in some tones that I might actually use!
Wow, great bass shred.
Nice, good to see some bass demo's every once in a while, especially because you're showcasing some pretty unique basses as well! The tones you displayed wouldn't be right for me, but you did keep the tone control above three o'clock for the whole demo, so that might leave me the wrong impression. I'm looking forward to the next one!
There is an official review somewhere on here that actually turned me off of this pedal where the tone was only slightly engaged, so I'm quite glad this review was ramped up a bit! Anywho if you can find the other video it's worth checking out as it may prove this pedal can be a little more your style?
wonder how it would sound with a Warwick. I just got one. and thinking of getting a heavier drive pedal.... this pedal is for sure on my radar. also.... awesome review as always
So I'm late to the game but.. did you got this pedal? I've just acquired a Warwick a few days ago...I'm between this and ampeg scrambler overdrive.
@@germanperezbottesi4458 no i didn't end up going with this. Lol. I actually don't even have the Warwick anymore. After allot of trial and error... i ended up with the darkglass vintage deluxe. As well as the ehx Russian big muff reissue. My basses are Fender American Standard pbass. (Love it) and a Gibson Thunderbird.
@@loku8511 thanks!
Great sound. I'm noticing you have the tone almost all the way to the right in this demo. Wonder what it would sound like with the knob turned the other way. It's a very dark-voiced pedal.
Wouldn't it be great if Andy played bass with a pick?
That would be comically ironic, yes. Lol.
Matthew Clise he did
I thought that was the fake pick thing he does where he puts his finger and thumb together as if he were holding a pick.
Your right, it may look like he using a pick but nope
Thomas Ramsey look at 4:00
this is getting into the ballpark
Damn it sounds good... 🙀
I'm really curious to know how this sounds with the guitar. Bass normally isn't my thing but this sounds really awesome.
We just recorded one and will be uploading soon!
What's the song at 4:01?
Gratitude!
just ..i'love you
What is the signal chain you are going through in the first Ibanez clip?
That first riff is awesome! I'd buy one of these if it weren't for Coronavirus fucking my day up!
The song is Hysteria by Muse.
@@boofert.washington2499 Huh, you're right. I thought that first bit was just a bit of noodling around before starting Hysteria. Neat!
@@VideoMask93 Old comment I know, but the first riff is Gratitude by the Beastie Boys. MCA wrote some good basslines!
0:13 Definitely has that Army Of Me (by Bjork) vibe to it. :-)
What if i managed to do both this and the fuzz one?
What is this for a song in the beginning?!!!
And second question, cant decide between the mxr m85 and the aftershock bass distortion...
Both sound great....
the song in the beginning is hysteria by muse
Gratitude by Beastie Boys before that
shame about me...
If you want a plug and play distortion the m85 will do a good job. If you want to experiment with tons of settings the after shock is for you. I was able to achieve absolutely killer tones with it but there is a learning curve. That being said the stock setups are great already.
Edit : I thought your comment was posted 3 days ago not 3 years .... I think you made your mind by now ...
Not bad but I think I'll stick with my Catalinbread Super Charged Overdrive on bass. Other than the "Mighty Mouse" mode on a Keeley modded RAT I have yet to find a distortion or fuzz I like better on bass.
There was a Prescription Electronics Depth Charge I used to use that belonged to a friend of mine but when I bought one of my own it sounded completely different. I took it to my tech to see if he could mod it to make it sound the same but apparently my friend's had parts in it that were difficult or impossible to find. : (
Do you use the bridge pickup for this like on guitars?
Feels a kicks, added on of powers, bass guitars, have the best vocals. Need .more voices....bass 🔊 🎼.....once on the power switch......enjoying
good bass tone to begin with
a good Distortion Ty
What's that outro song in the background w heavy bass?
What's the bass on the intro. It looks like a Fender Jazz style bass with an angled headstock
DH Bennett It's a Redtail Guitars bass guitar built by Andy's father Greg Martin I presume.
What kinda bass is that Ibanez? I want one.
I was wondering how would I get a tone similar to that of Peter Steele of type o negative
Ds-1 and chorus. Use the a boss ls-2 for blending back in a clean channel to not us the low end
The first song is gratitude by beasties boys
Does anybody knows which series of Ibanez bass in 2:15 of this clip? I really love its clean sound. Thanks for sharing :)
Don't know if you're still around 7 years later, I just found this video while looking for reviews of the pedal, and saw your question.
It's an Ibanez MC-924. I used to have a Studio version, the ST-924, and they are monsters.
I see.many low player 's , on bass guitars, learning....now so well in bass.....
What's the difference between the dry and wet options in terms of sound and tone?
The "dry" is the signal that is coming from your bass, while the "wet" is the distorted signal from the pedal. The knobs themselves don't change the tone or anything like that, just the levels of the dry and wet signals.
Anyone stacked this with a darkglass b7k?
Ive stacked this going into a vintage ultra and it sounds great, having about a quarter gain on each and the led mode sounds super snarly and grindy.
only bad thing about this video is that the Low E string was very flat!
Otherwise, this pedal kicks some teeth in! I like it!
please demo this bad boy with guitar
ベースギターも上手です。
MuUuUUUuSe!
now m sure that andy is a bassist in origin....i wont sell my brain to anyone tellin me anythin else than that
sounds like Billy Sheehan's
Who amongst us is surprised to see/hear such great Andy awesomeness on four strings? Excellent work as always.
