Dual Channel Design
The M80 features both clean and distortion channels, each with independent controls.

The dedicated Clean and Distortion footswitches make it easy to access the exact character you need, whether you’re laying down a solid groove or stepping out for a solo.
Comprehensive EQ and Tone Shaping
Shape your sound with precision thanks to the three-band EQ section, offering up to ±18 dB of boost or cut on bass, ±10 dB on mids, and ±12 dB on treble. The Clean channel also features a Color switch, engaging a preset EQ curve for added punch, clarity, and definition. Dial in anything from classic thump to modern snap, and make sure your bass sits perfectly in any mix.
Professional Direct Integration
With both balanced and unbalanced outputs, the M80 lets you run your signal straight to a mixing board, PA, or recording interface with ease. The ground lift and phantom power options ensure noise-free operation on any stage or studio setup, making the M80 a true workhorse for the working bassist.
