The M 82 is a fantastic recreation of the classic MXR 808 bass envelope filter. It nails that funky, percussive sound that defined 80s basslines. If you’re looking for that vintage vibe without the vintage price tag, this is a solid choice for funk, slap, and even some rock bass tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dry control blends your unaffected bass signal with the filtered signal, preserving the low-end and adding warmth, preventing a thin or scooped tone.
While it excels in those genres, careful control adjustments can yield usable sounds for rock and even some more subtle rhythmic effects, though versatility is somewhat limited.
The M 82 is a modernized recreation, offering improved internal components and a more robust enclosure, but the core circuit and sound character remain remarkably similar.
