composer, engineer) Melvin Lee Davis to create MLD Bass Preamp & DI. It has
tons of functions based on Melvin Lee’s musical experience, and offers the
best sound shaping controls such as 3-band EQ with middle-frequency selection,
drive with blend control, speaker cabinet simulation (Impulse Response file
loader) and built-in noise gate with decay and threshold controls.
Audio Streaming and Recording
MLD Bass Preamp + DI can also be used as an audio interface. You can download
and install the free NUX ASIO Driver, connect the pedal to your computer via
USB, use the headphone output on the pedal for monitoring, then it can send
