Or would a Sansamp be better?** A: I don’t know the Sansamp but the M80 is a pre-amp so should work. They also make a pre-amp M81 which doesn’t have distortion and is a smaller form factor. I’m not particular fond of the M80 distortion but otherwise it’s a good solid DI/pre-amp with EQ. **Q: Can I use INSTRUMENT output to go to my stage amp; and have it work whether or not the XLR is connected? Also, does the volume only affect the XLR?** A: I'm not sure since I do not use it that way. I use the XLR right into the mains. I am assuming that you would like to manipulate the 1/4" volume as you would with the XLR? I will say that this is a great pedal as a DI and not as a preamp per se. When I use my stage amp, I do not use this pedal as I connect my pedal board inline on the preamp and then take the signal post effect to the board from the preamp. If you would like, I can try the 1/4" set up and get back to you. i will be playing this coming Sunday and can leave you a message Sunday afternoon. **Q: No power supply?** A: Nope. You can use a 9v battery or a standard 9v DC pedal power supply. **Q: Can noise gate be used without distrotion ?** A: No, it cannot. The clean channel is SUPER clean with no need for a gate anyways. If you need a gate pedal, I recommend the Decimator for sure! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eccellente *by P***. on 22 October 2025* Uno dei pre per basso migliori sul mercato.

I'm still experimenting with the range of tones it can do. I'm using it between my floor pedals and the out front PA system, so no bass amp or cab in my chain (monitoring via IEM from the desk). Firstly, the bass mid and treble controls work well and with no noise (in any mode), and they cover a lot tone shaping possibilities. MXR seem to have designed and placed the tone frequency controls in just the right tonal areas. Using just the clean channel is good but when you use the color button there's a big scooped boost which sounds instantly great. I'm going for a mostly clean tone, so I don't really need the gain distortion channel, but I'm finding that if I use the gain channel but with the gain blended right down low, it sounds nicely warm but not distorted. Its a nice tone to work with for most styles. The gain channel automatically uses the color scoop/boost, so sometimes I'll roll back the bass and treble just a little to compensate. My only negative so far, is that I was hoping I'd hear more of the "gate", but I don't hear much happening. I think its affecting the gain distortion trigger which I'm not really using. I was expecting more of a traditional noise gate which would auto switch off the output when I'm not playing - its not that. The gate LED goes on and off but the output stays live. Sometimes I have both hands off the bass, so a proper gate function would have been better for me. Any of that doesn't take off the fact that I like using the MXR80. Its simple and noiseless with lots of tone shaping options. Strange it didn't come with a PSU, but it uses a common Boss / Dunlop type PSU, 9V DC tip negative. Its very low current (less than 200mA). Minor niggle, sometimes - in certain light conditions, its not so easy to see the LED indicators, but this device is the kind of thing you leave on anyway. Also no speaker simulator, but that's really (really) not a deal breaker. ## Frequently Bought Together - MXR Bass D.I.+ - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Pedal Power Supply - DC 9V Power Cord - 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals - Pedalboard Power Supply - PW-CT-9V - MXR Patch Cable 6 in|15 cm - 3 Pack (3PDCP06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/265088289-bass-d-i](https://www.desertcart.at/products/265088289-bass-d-i) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
