Will it work well with a bass guitar?

Personally I do not like the Dyna with a bass. The Dyna is geared towards thinner strings at a higher octave than a bass. What will happen when you run this particular compressor with a bass is that you will over compress and your notes will become very "muddled"; loosing tone and a rich bottom end. MXR has a series for bass. I would look at that rather than the Dyna. Bass compressors tend to compress less thus allowing your natural tone to come through and leveling out the volume of string slaps and such.

I've used compressors in many recordings. They generally work quite well for guitar or bass. Although I haven't played bass with this MXR it should work very well especially because the MXR is one of the better ones. Compression is the same process whether live or recorded, guitar, bass or vocals. If you're still unsure, a quality sales outlet will let you return it if it's not doing what you want it to do, whether it's voice, music, guitar OR bass. But I do think you'll like it.

It's not ideal, but can be done if kept at low volumes. It is not meant to handle the lower frequencies of a bass guitar. Thank you.

No it would not handle a bass guitar for anything more than a low volume practice. Love the other comments and advice.

I cant say for sure because i havnt acually used one. I use this pedal with my Fender bassman and i like it. Get one you'll like it and if you dont just send it back.

Paul's reply: The bass speaker in the amp isn't really deep enough for a good bass sound. It would not work well with electronic drums. It would be plenty loud enough for an electric guitar, but I wouldn't recommend it as a bass amp. Might be better off getting a bass amp, and when you need it for guitar, turn the low range all the way down. That would be my recommendation, but using two amps would be the way to go if you can afford it.

Of course. It will work with any guitar, bass, keyboard, amp, pedal, etc. Almost all electric instruments use a 1/4" cable/jack.

It should. Mind you, it takes quite some effort to make it work right, and you'll probably have to keep the output low on bass.

Yes, as long as you are connecting via 1/4 Cable. The speaker is designed to play a large spectrum of tones and now that I have a better amp I use mine with my Laptop for speakers. What I would not run into it is a Bass, but a Uke should be fine

Yes, I'm 99% sure it will work. It basically takes the signals from the passive pickups, amplifies and applies active treble and bass eq. I used it with some standard Bartolini "soap bar" bass pickups. I think you will be ok.

Don't see why not. I know a lot of guys with guitar rigs that they use with bass and they all sound killer.

Since I don't have a bass guitar, I don't know for sure but why shouldn't it? Unless ya think it may rattle or something?

Tho I have never tried it on one, my answer is yes I believe it would. This is probably one of the best, even tho it is the lowest priced modeler I've found. I have four of them one attached to each amp I use my acoustic guitar on. It will make a hundred dollar guitar sound good as any high dollar guitar you can find. Behringer also makes a bass modeler like this, it is silver in color and I owned one but sold it to a guy that really loved it on his bass.

Any bass amp can be used for guitar, but you won't get the benefit of the higher frequencies produced by a normal guitar. And vice versa with a bass into a guitar amp. I wouldn't recommend it.

It will work with any amplifiable guitar. Just realize that it only puts out 30 watts-- enough to make your bass audible at what's now called an "unplugged" level. What that means to me, as I use it, is that I can hear the bass line in a group with acoustic (unamplified) guitars. It will never be "loud," if that's what you're looking for.

I can't say for certain since I don't play bass. But I would see why it would work. With the attack control you won't lose you how you play each note. If you want more of am explanation there is a youtube channel @eytschPi42 that did a review of this pedal.

I dont use it for the bass. You would probably blow it up. Look into a cube amp of sorts it will be more money but what you need.
