MXR Bass Blow TorchDecember, 2006 It’s called “bass,” but our instrument’s sonic signature is in the midrange, where the right boost means cutting through a loud band. To capitalize on this, MXR designed the Bass Blow Torch, which focuses its distortion on midrange frequencies and has extensive midrange adjustability. Exceptionally dense, with a robust case and high-quality hardware, the Blow Torch uses an 18-volt power supply for maximum headroom and increased EQ range. The distortion is warm and colorful, but engaging the side-mounted torch boosts the clipping gain and dollops fizzy upper-harmonics on the signal. Coupled with distortion, the 3-band active EQ is highly effective. The three-position midrange center-frequency shift moves the distorted tone from burly to brassy as it’s shifted upwards.
