MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz Pedal

Description

Some fuzz pedals just add grit. The MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz adds mass. Built around the Growl circuit lifted straight from MXR’s Bass Octave Deluxe and paired with a punishing fuzz stage, this pedal is engineered specifically for players who need their low end to hit like a wall rather than a whisper.

The core of its power lies in the three-way blend: dry, fuzz, and octave signals can each be dialed in independently, so you’re never forced into an all-or-nothing fuzz tone. Want your low B to stay articulate under a thin layer of grit? Blend in more dry signal. Need a sub-octave layer that rattles the room without turning to mud? Bring the octave up and back off the fuzz. This kind of control is rare in a bass fuzz, and it’s what separates the Sub Octave Bass Fuzz from pedals that just slap distortion over your signal.

Once you’ve got your blend, the onboard 3-band EQ lets you shape the result with real precision — tighten things up for a punchy, defined attack, or push everything toward dominating, wall-shaking territory. It’s flexible enough to sit as your primary dirt pedal on the board, whether you’re chasing vintage growl, modern sludge, or something entirely your own.

• Blends dry, fuzz, and sub-octave signals independently
• Growl circuit derived from MXR’s Bass Octave Deluxe
• 3-band EQ for detailed tone shaping
• Designed specifically for bass — built to stay tight even at extreme low end

If your board is missing a dirt pedal that can go from subtle grind to full-on low-end assault, the MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz deserves the spot.
