MXR Bass Envelope Filter M82 Instruction Manual
Model: M82 | Brand: MXR
Introducció
The MXR Bass Envelope Filter M82 is an analog effect pedal designed specifically for bass guitar, delivering classic envelope filter sounds. It features independent controls for dry and effect signals, allowing for precise blending without sacrificing low-end frequencies. The pedal's wide range of filter tones can be adjusted using the Decay and Q controls, while the Sensitivity knob adapts the pedal's response to your playing dynamics and bass type (passive or active). Built with robust power supply circuitry for protection against voltage issues and true-bypass switching to maintain signal integrity, the M82 is housed in a durable, compact aluminum enclosure.

Guia de configuració
Engegant el pedal
The MXR Bass Envelope Filter M82 requires an external 9-volt DC power adapter (e.g., Dunlop ECB003) with a center-negative polarity. This pedal does not have an internal battery compartment. Ensure the power source meets the pedal's requirements to prevent damage.
Connecting Your Pedal
- Connecta el teu baix a ENTRADA jack al costat dret del pedal mitjançant un cable d'instrument estàndard de 1/4 de polzada.
- Connecteu el SORTIDA presa al costat esquerre del pedal al vostre amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using another 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Connect a 9-volt power adapter to the 9V presa d'entrada d'alimentació.

Controls acabatsview
- Pom DRY:
- Controls the volume of your unaffected, direct bass signal. Use this to retain your instrument's natural low-end and blend it with the effect.
- Botó FX:
- Controls the volume of the envelope filter effect signal. Adjust this to determine how prominent the filter sound is in your mix.
- Bot de decaïment:
- Adjusts the speed at which the filter sweep closes. Turning it clockwise results in a slower, longer sweep, while counter-clockwise settings produce a faster, snappier sweep.
- Q Knob:
- Determines the intensity or resonance of the filter effect. Higher 'Q' settings create a more pronounced, vocal-like "wah" sound, while lower settings are more subtle.
- SENSITIVITY Knob:
- Sets the threshold for the envelope filter's response to your playing dynamics. Adjust this to match your bass's output level (passive or active) and your picking/plucking attack. Turning it clockwise increases sensitivity, making the filter react to lighter playing.
- INTERRUPTOR DE PEUT:
- Toggles the effect on and off. The adjacent LED illuminates when the effect is active.
Achieving Desired Tones
- Funk Tones: Start with high Sensitivity, moderate Q, and a fast Decay. Adjust Dry/FX to taste.
- Subtle Filter: Use lower Q and Sensitivity settings, with a higher Dry mix.
- Long Sweeps: Increase the Decay knob for a slower, more drawn-out filter movement.
- Experiment with the Sensitivity knob to find the sweet spot where the filter responds naturally to your playing style and instrument's output.
Manteniment
- Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar l'exterior del pedal. Eviteu productes de neteja o dissolvents abrasius.
- Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el pedal en un lloc sec, allunyat de temperatures i humitat extremes.
- Font d'alimentació: Always use a regulated 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit.
- Connexions: Assegureu-vos que tots els cables estiguin connectats correctament per evitar pèrdues de senyal o un funcionament intermitent.
