An auto-wah tailored for bass, blending vintage spirit and modern precision
An envelope filter (often called "auto-wah") recreates the effect of a wah-wah... without an expression pedal: your playing triggers the opening and closing of the filter. The MXR M82 adopts this iconic principle and makes it particularly usable on bass: fast response, effective controls, and above all, a direct signal management designed to preserve the low end. The result: you get the funky, bouncing "quack" of the classics while maintaining a modern definition that remains clear in a busy mix.For which bassists, styles, and contexts?
The M82 Bass Envelope Filter targets bassists who want to bring expression and movement back into their lines: funk, disco, fusion, rock, hip-hop, electro, neo-soul... In the studio, it highlights articulation (ghost notes, pick, aggressive back-and-forth) and gives an immediate signature to repetitive riffs. Live, the Dry/FX blend helps stay locked in with the kick drum, even when the envelope is wide open: ideal for a compact and efficient pedalboard.Technical specifications
