I was looking to upgrade my pedal board and needed a compressor that was not only versatile and easy to use but top quality in both construction and performance. This pedal has more than exceeded my expectations. I spent weeks reading reviews of countless different options. I watched so many different videos it would have been easy to get lost in the various different opinions. one pedal that kept coming up near the top of the list was the MXR M87. I was in Houston and stopped by Sam Ash after seeing they actually had one in stock and bought it. took it home set up the new pedal board and started playing with the settings. after an hour or so getting everything set and adjusted it was easy to see how amazing this pedal really was. I kept playing and switching it on and off and the difference with every other pedal was immediately noticeable. It evened out the tone without adding any notable squashing added sustain and in general tied everything together. I have this first in my chain followed by a green BigMuff, a Boss ODB3 Overdrive, Boss GEB7 EQ, a DigiTech CabDry VR Cab Simulator into a ART Studio V3 Tube Preamp which I also use as a DI. The M87, EQ and Tube Preamp are always on and I will switch The BigMuff and Boss OD depending on the song. I couldn't be happier with the way the Compressor preforms. It truly makes my setup work. I highly Recommend this to anyone wanting to add consistency and even tone.

Bass guitar is a monster of an instrument to control so finding a pedal that lets you tame this beast is great. The MXR M87 does just that. This 5 knob pedal allows you to adjust the sound and tone of your bass without losing any of the soul of the bass. Also works great with guitars.

MXR has been around for a few decades and many of their pedals have become icons in the industry. This new bass compressor is a welcome addition to the family. The range of tones available range from barely there transparent to the classic squashed effect. As with all MXR pedals I've used it's very simple to dial in, inspiring to play, and built to last. If you're a bassist looking for a compressor tailored for you check out this cool MXR pedal today.

I play bass and am always on the constant lookout for good compressors and subtle effects. I decided to try this not only because I am always on the hunt, but it is an MXR and they have always been good. I love this and soon it may be replacing the one I have in my rig. The headroom circuit adds a bit of crispness to the sound and it doesn't feel squished at times. The other great thing is that it is true bypass, so when it is off...it's off when doesn't effect my tone like other pedals.
