I purchased this pedal because I was looking for a DI box and a distortion pedal for my bass and I figured that I could cover the two with it. Having played around with it for a few weeks I have found it to be quite versatile and greatly improves my sound. It sound great as a standard pedal through my amp, where it adds more to the non-distorted sound. It also goes well plugged straight into a PA where you have the option of using your amp as a personal fold back. The distortion isn't a real dirty/high gain distortion that most modern metal bands like. Saying that, I have been able to get a Cliff Burtonesque sound out of it. Personally I am happy with the distortion this pedal gives and it suits what I play (Metallica, Talking Heads and all things in between), but I can see where others might not like the distortion this pedal has. I would definitely suggest trying out this pedal, if only to improve your sound so you can save up to get a more expensive rig.Read full review
When I first took this pedal out the packaging I didn't realise that it would be quite as heavy as it was. It feels like a tiny military tank in your palm. Sturdy. It feels expensive. I was even more blown away when I plugged it into my dirt chain and started playing around! The EQ switch provides a nice boost to fatten up other effects and really bring out any slap I might want to play (especially in a live scenario). The "Color" switch scoops the EQ and gives it loads of bottom body. I didn't originally intend to use the distortion but after having a fiddle it really sounds great. Either on it's own or with other effects it's constantly awesome. Combining it with analogue synths and envelope filters have resulted in some very unique sounds! If you're in the market for something that's going to add some colour and punctuation to your bass playing; the M80 is professional, affordable and super awesome! *I haven't even used the DI on it yet!Read full review
