A bass guitar preamp, DI box, impulse response (IR) loader and audio interface all in one box! Nux have collaborated with bass player, Melvin Lee Davis, to create a pedal packed with features based on his experience across recording, composition and engineering for stage and screen. The MLD signature Bass Preamp + DI features fully sweepable mid-range frequencies in addition to Bass and Treble controls. Melvin L. Davis is proficient at 4, 5, 6 and 7 string basses, so MLD Bass Preamp has a wide range of frequency control.

Key Features

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals condition an instrument signal before it reaches an amplifier, power amp, interface, mixer or PA. They may provide gain, EQ, compression, speaker or cabinet filtering, impedance matching, balanced output and ground isolation, with acoustic, bass and electric-guitar models making different assumptions about the source. The central question is where the pedal sits in the rig: a preamp into an amp input is not the same as a direct box into a console. Check headroom, phantom-power behaviour, cab simulation and output level before committing to the routing.

Tags

Bass

Designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression or drive.

IR Loader

Loads impulse responses to reproduce measured cabinet, microphone or other acoustic responses. It shapes a direct signal after amp or preamp processing; file format, sample rate, memory and routing vary.
