MXR's MB301 is a compact bass synth pedal that delivers rich, analogue-style synth tones without the hassle of a keyboard rig. Co-developed with Ian Allison, it captures everything from '70s funk squelch to gritty industrial leads. With eight onboard presets, powerful filter and modulation controls, and deep editing under the hood, it’s equally suited to quick jams or full-on sound design. Tracking is fast and stable—even on 5-string basses—and the layout is clean, pedalboard-ready, and built like a tank.
