MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter

The MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter: Classic Funk and Futuristic Squawk for the Low End

Studio-Quality Envelope Filter for Bass Guitar

The MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter delivers iconic filter sounds in a stage-ready, compact format designed specifically for the needs of bass players. With its all-analog circuitry, the M82 provides a smooth, organic response that retains the character of your instrument while adding vibrant, funky modulation to your tone. From deep, quacking lows to sharp, synth-style squelches, this unit is an expressive tool for bassists who demand versatility and clarity.

Designed for Low-End Clarity

Unlike generic envelope filters that can strip away your bass’s punch, the M82 features separate Dry and FX level controls, allowing you to blend your clean and effected signals with precision. This ensures your tone remains full and grounded, even when the filter is working overtime. Whether you’re slapping, picking, or playing fingerstyle, your original low end stays intact and powerful.

Deep Sound Shaping Control

The M82 gives you intuitive control over every aspect of the filter response. The Q knob dials in the intensity, while the Decay knob lets you adjust how quickly the effect settles. Sensitivity is easily shaped to match your playing dynamics, responding to even the slightest touch or the hardest attack. These controls unlock a range of sounds from subtle movement to full-on synth bass textures, ideal for funk, rock, electronic, and experimental genres.

Built for the Rigors of the Road

The MXR M82 is constructed with the durability expected from Dunlop’s pedal line. A true hardwire bypass ensures your tone remains pristine when the effect is disengaged. The unit runs on a standard 9-volt battery or DC adapter, fitting seamlessly into any pedalboard setup. This is a professional-grade filter pedal designed to endure real-world performance demands.

Elevate Your Bass Tone with Expressive Modulation

Whether you're exploring deep-pocket funk grooves or adding a modern edge to your lines, the M82 is a filter that reacts musically and dynamically. With studio-grade specs and thoughtful control layout, it’s an essential tool for bass players looking to expand their sonic vocabulary without compromising their core tone.
