Description
The MXR M87 Bass Compressor gives low-end players the kind of dynamic control usually reserved for the studio console, packed into a single pedalboard-friendly unit. Rather than flattening your tone, this compressor is built to preserve it — MXR’s Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) keeps the signal path open and clean even when you’re digging in hard, so your bass keeps its punch, growl, or thump instead of turning into mush.
What sets the M87 apart on a board full of stompboxes is the level of control on tap. Dedicated attack, release, and ratio knobs let you shape exactly how the compression reacts to your playing — from a light touch that just evens out peaks to a heavier squeeze for a more consistent, in-your-face bass sound. Input and output controls give you the flexibility to match gain staging with the rest of your rig. Ten gain-reduction LEDs run across the top, giving you a real-time visual on how much compression is being applied so you’re never guessing at your settings, even under stage lights.
Housed in a rugged, lightweight aluminum chassis with true bypass switching, the M87 is built to survive the road while staying out of your signal’s way when it’s off. This listing is for a used unit, a great way to get studio-quality compression on your board without paying new-unit price.
