Finally, a five-knob compressor in a pedal. Im a compression aficionado, and this box kills! All parameters are tweakable. Billy Sheehan

"Historically, compressor pedals give me the heebie jeebies. So when this pretty pedal showed up sounding all natural and punchy with a cool gain-reduction meter, quelle surprise! Nice job MXR." Justin Meldal-Johnsen

I purchased the Boss LMB-3 which I thought was a fine pedal but I was having sound issues. After some trial and errors I blamed that Limiter (the jury is still out) and ordered the MXR M87. After playing with this compressor, the transparency of this unit was readily apparent. Easy to get a great sound and my basses sound like my basses. Easily worth the extra $100 from the Boss pedal.

As the previous reviewer stated, this pedal is very transparent! Lots of possibilities configuration wise, a bit on the expensive side, but well worth the purchase. I'm very happy with it! Posted by anonymous on Jun 20, 2012

The best compressor pedal for the price.

I use a rackmount DBX 160A as part of my gear. It does a great job. But I needed a pedal that would be just as transparent without adding "colour" to my tone. Well, the MXR bass compressor was the answer. I do not like gear that adds colour and tone to my sound as I like to rely on my fingers and my instrument to get the sound that I want. The MXR compressor is the perfect choice if you have to use gear that is provided by the gig and you want something that you can rely on to get the job done. I absolutely recommend this pedal to all gigging bass players. Posted by Daniel Foster on May 18, 2012
