About the MLD Bass Preamp + DI

Designed in collaboration with bass legend Melvin Lee Davis.

This signature pedal packs everything a bassist needs: a refined preamp, flexible DI box, speaker‑cab simulation with IR loading, and an integrated audio interface — all in one compact unit.

Fine‑tune your tone with a highly versatile 3‑band EQ (featuring a fully sweepable mid‑range), dial in smooth overdrive, and shape your bass character just the way you want it. Whether you're plugged into a PA, an audio interface, or a bass amp — or rehearsing late at night via headphones — this pedal has you covered.
