MXR MB301 Bass Synth
The MXR Bass Synth delivers intergalactic sounds and vintage analog vibes, in a palette of monophonic synths reminiscent of the great classics of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Parliament Funkadelic, and many others.
Designed in collaboration with the master of low frequencies and gear connoisseur Ian Martin Allison, this supercharged pedal delivers devastating sub-octaves, expressive envelopes, and rich modulations, with formidable tracking and ultra-musical sustain.
Dive into the groove with a range of controls designed for bassists.
Shape every detail of your synth sound with intuitive and powerful controls.
- Sub Mix lets you dial in the amount of sub-octave you add to the synth’s main signal — for a sound as fat and deep as you want.
- Mod introduces liquid and bright textures, ranging from subtle and musical movement to bold pulses that defy space-time.
Envelope adjusts the filter response, from elastic bounce to slow sweeps. - Mix is a balance between your dry and wet signals.
- Cutoff sets the filter cutoff frequency.
- Resonance accentuates the cutoff frequency.
- Voice activates additional oscillators harmonically tuned to further enrich your sound.
- Shape lets you choose the waveform that suits you:
- Soft and subtle Triangle

Pre-funk
If you want to skip the setup step and jump straight into the action, there are 8 different presets designed by Ian Martin Allison to play right away. Each is inspired by classic synth sounds, from those heard in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon” to Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” or Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like a Hole.” Switching from one preset to another is as simple as pressing the Preset button.

For true lovers of bass and mid-fatness, the MXR Bass Synth offers many additional parameters, ranging from oscillator and modulation mix to compression and tracking style. You can also use the pedal in stereo mode, connect an external switch like the MXR Split + Tap or the Tap Tempo Switch to scroll through presets, use an (X) Series Volume pedal to control the blend of settings, and much more.
