This item is open box, in mint condition!

Designed by Bassist for Bass Lovers!

NUX collaborated with American bass player, Melvin Lee Davis, to create MLD Bass Preamp & DI.

MLD Bass Preamp + DI has tons of functions based on Melvin Lee Davis' musical experience and offers the best sound-shaping controls such as: 3-band EQ with middle-frequency selection, drive with blend control, speaker cabinet simulation (Impulse Response loader) and built-in noise reduction with Decay and Threshold controls.

Closer Look:

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:

• Volume Knob: Adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal. Ideal for fine-tuning the output on clean tone, it also controls the DI output volume.
• Blend Knob: Adjusts to blend between the clean signal and overdrive signal. The clean signal remains as unity gain, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.
• Drive Knob: Adjusts the Gain level and sets the saturation level in the overdriven signal.

3-Band Equalizer with Middle Frequency Selector:

• Bass: +/- 12dB @40Hz
• Middle: +/- 17dB @160Hz to 1000Hz
• Freq.: 160Hz ~ 1000Hz
• Treble: +/- 12dB @8000Hz

DI Output:

Balanced XLR Output carrying the mic-level output signal, either affected or unaffected depending on the Pre-Post switch.

GND LFT (Ground / Lift) Toggle Switch:

Disconnects the signal ground on the DI out to break any ground loops. Toggle the switch to the LESS noisy position; it can be either GND or LFT depending on the room, stage or studio condition. Switch does not affect the 1/4-inch (6.5mm) output.

Impulse Response (IR) Toggle Switches:

You can activate/deactivate the IR cabinet simulation for both DI out and 1/4-inch (6.5mm) out separately. Use the appropriate IR toggle switch to turn ON/OFF the emulation for the output you choose.

Bass Amplifier Models:

MLD Bass Preamp + DI pedal comes with 2 amplifier models, you can select and control the amps and the Noise Reduction on the software easily.

Speaker Cabinet Models (IR):

There are 8 IR presets (4 factory / 4 user) in the Melvin Lee Davis Bass Preamp + DI, 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.
