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

  • Speaker Cabinet Models (IR) – There are 16 IR slots (8 factory / 8 user) in the Melvin Lee Davis Bass Preamp + DI (Firmware V3), and the pedal comes with the selection of speaker cabinet IR files created by NUX. Also, there is an independent volume control for the cabinet simulation to adjust the IR level.
  • Bass Amplifier Models – MLD Bass Preamp + DI pedal comes with 3 amplifier models (Firmware V3), you can select and control the amps and the Noise Reduction on the software easily.
  • DI Output – Balanced XLR Output carrying the mic-level output signal, either affected or unaffected depending on the Pre-Post switch.
  • Recording with Preamp – You can record your bass guitar without using any audio interface. The MLD Bass Preamp + DI has a built-in audio streaming function, so you can connect the pedal directly to your computer with a Micro B USB cable, and it is ready to play and record. A driver-free solution helps you produce music with direct connection. You can use the headphones output for monitoring, and you will hear both your guitar and the audio from your computer.

NUX

In the current JustPedals catalogue, NUX is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Delay Pedals. Current listings include Analog Delay, Plexi Crunch and Analog Chorus. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals shape an instrument signal and can feed a mixer, interface, PA, recorder or amplifier with a more controlled level and impedance. They may add EQ, gain, cabinet simulation, balanced output, ground lift or instrument-specific voicing. A bass, acoustic or electric-guitar preamp can solve very different problems, so check the input headroom, output format, phantom-power behaviour and routing. Decide whether the pedal should drive an amp, replace one for direct use or perform both roles.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.

IR Loader

IR loaders play impulse responses that reproduce measured cabinet, microphone or other acoustic responses. They normally shape a direct signal after an amp or preamp, making it more suitable for an interface, mixer, PA or headphones. Check file format, sample rate, memory, loading method, output routing, level control and whether the loader can bypass its cabinet stage. An IR is not a replacement for every part of an amplifier chain, so gain staging still matters.
