Description

Dunlop positioned the MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe (M84-U) as a dedicated bass fuzz pedal designed to preserve low-end punch and clarity alongside its fuzz signal. It sat in the MXR effects line as a solution to a common problem with fuzz on bass: the loss of the instrument's original dry signal character.

The pedal offered separate Dry and Wet level controls, allowing the owner to blend the unprocessed bass signal with the fuzz output independently. The fuzz circuit provided up to 40 dB of gain, while the dry path offered up to +6 dB of gain on the clean signal. The M84-U operated on 9 volts DC, drew 11 mA of current, and featured true hardwire bypass. Input impedance was rated at 1 MΩ, output impedance at 100 Ω, and signal-to-noise ratio at 90 dBV.

Owners requiring service, modification, or help dialling in the blend controls for a specific rig should consult a qualified guitar or bass technician.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
