General

The MXR M87 Bass Compressor is an incredibly expansive and yet very compact compressor for bass guitars. It is also suitable for electric guitars. Thanks to the five knobs, you can control the volume in ways you may have previously deemed impossible. Subtly suppress the peaks of the bass sound or comprise the entire sound into a small package. Moreover, the Constant Headroom Technology ensures great headroom and a clear sound. MXR crammed their transparent sound in its tried-and-trusted rugged housing, so this white stomp box is sure to last you a long time.

The versatile M87 Bass Compressor

You can set the M87 Bass Compressor with the familiar compression controls: ratio (level of compression), attack (start of the compression) and release (end). Furthermore, you can compensate the decrease in volume with the output knob, while the clever clear LED meter shows you the amount of compression. Switch the true hardwire bypass pedal off and you won’t lose any of the high frequencies or volume. Connect an optional adapter to supply the pedal with power or use a 9V battery.

MXR M87 Bass Compressor for bass guitar

Wrote the following about MXR M87 Bass Compressor for bass guitar
I've been looking to buy a compressor for quite a long time and after watching many videos and evaluating different possibilities, I've set my mind on the MXR M87 analog compressor.

It's a rather small piece of equipment that somehow I find fundamental these days to play on several different types of gigs.
I checked on the site of Bax Music and I was lucky enough for it to be available in the Amsterdam shop.
Coming into the shop, i've been helped right away and exchanged a few words over pedals with Iva and another young fella that was working there at the moment.

I really enjoyed trying out the compressor. I like to use it subtly, adding a little amount of compression to my playing, just to smoothen out some edges and this works like a charm for me. There are several settings that you can choose, such as the ratio of compression, attack, release, input and output levels.
The Ratio can be set at different levels of compression, from 4db to 20 db, which allows you to bring out all those small shades of playing that otherwise might be lost. I personally like to use it not in a too aggressive way, allowing my playing still to be very dynamic, but adding some more consistency.

I'd recommend this pedal to bass players, especially if they're looking for a nice addition to their playing. Depending on the settings, you can really make those Slap sounds come out, add some brilliancy, make them a little more even, or really have those eight notes be consistent in your pizzicato, making it really suitable for more rock/pop types of music.

Mooi apparaat. Makkelijk in gebruik, wel even online kijken wat de knoppen doen mocht je dit niet weten, de handleiding is daar niet handig voor.

Zorgt voor een erg goede boost in geluidskwaliteit. Zeker wanneer je met een band speelt scheelt het een stuk. In de band waarmee ik oefen wordt vrij luid gespeeld in een kleine ruimte en met deze compressor kom ik er veel beter tot mijn recht, kan mijzelf een stuk beter horen.

Online zijn er meningen te vinden dat een compressor niet hoeft/het minder skill intensief is. Hier ben ik het absoluut niet mee eens. Met mijn American Performer Precision bas had ik ook thuis soms moeite met het vinden van een juiste sound. De compressor verhoogd de geluidskwaliteit aanzienlijk. Ik gebruik hem nu ook wanneer ik solo oefen, echt een verademing.

Kwam defect binnen, is niet de eerste keer dat me dit gebeurt met MXR producten die ik in het verleden heb besteld.

Kwa werking kan ik er dus niets over zeggen, en het zal vast goed klinken, maar de bouwkwaliteit is best wel slecht zoals het lijkt.

Ik ga voortaan voor andere merken.

In de loop der jaren heb ik meerdere compressors geprobeerd en 3 verschillende in bezit gehad. Omdat ik na een stille periode van 10 jaar toch maar weer in een band was gaan spelen, wilde ik ook maar weer een goede compressor aanschaffen. Na het lezen van meerdere reviews op basforums kwam ik uit op de MXR M87 Bass Compressor. Voor mij was het de eerste met een duidelijke beschrijving. Ik ben zeer tevreden over de vele mogelijkheden en de robuuste (een stevige metalen behuizing) en verzorgde uitvoering van het apparaat. Het zou me niets verbazen als ik hier nog lang plezier van ga hebben. De bezorging was als gebruikelijk weer naar wens.

Dit is een zeer degelijke compressor speciaal voor de basgitaar. De MXr M87 is veelzijdig in gebruik. De gewenste instellingen is goed in te stellen van de lichte compressie waarmee je geluid mooi mee geëgaliseerd wordt tot een zware compressie voor het slap- en tapwerk. Tevens geeft deze compressor (in dien gewenst) je bassrig een heerlijke lange susstain zonder dat dit te gemakkelijk overslaat in feedback.

De kwaliteit is, zoals bij alle Dunlop MXR pedalen, uitstekend. Een stevige behuizing met degelijke potmeters maken ook dit pedaal tot een prettig apparaat om mee te werken. Het pedaaltje doet waar deze voor is gemaakt en dat doet deze compressor erg goed!

In het begin was het een beetje puzzelen om te achterhalen wat elke knop precies doet maar door de erg handige bijgeleverde manual werd dit pedaaltje als snel plug and play.

Pluspunten:
- Zeer veelzijdig,
- Duidelijke grafische weergave van compressie door de ledstrip waardoor instellingen makkelijk aan te passen zijn tot de gewenste waardes,
- Zeer sterk gebouwd en kan dus tegen een stootje,

Minpunten:
- De knoppen zijn erg gevoelig waardoor je je instellingen soms wat lastig te pakken krijgt.

Hoogwaardige compressor. Heb er meerdere gehad, maar deze doet niets aan je geluid van je gitaar af. Heel subtiel, maar toch zo geniaal. Staat live altijd aan. Werkt ook perfect in de studio, zoals gezegd waar andere compressors je geluid kunnen vervormen laat deze het helemaal heel. Perfect dus.
