description:
The El Grande Bass Fuzz, the latest offering from MXR Bass Innovations, is a versatile and brutal fuzz designed just for bass. We took a classic 70’s fuzz circuit, re-tuned it for more low end, and added a DEEP switch that delivers up to +15dB of monstrous bass that is internally adjustable between 87Hz - 113Hz. And that’s not all: Volume, Tone, and Fuzz controls let you sculpt your tone with precision to get everything you need—from searing, sustained upper-register chords to punchy, growling low B’s—without sacrificing low end or clarity. The El Grande comes in a lightweight but durable aluminum casting with the same high-quality jacks and switches that have made MXR pedals the road-ready standard on pedal-boards around the world for over 30 years.

mine came from the factory with the deep setting at +15/113Hz, which was even muddier!
nice review, i would say it’s good at what it does and that’s all. deep switch sweetens the tone alot IF it’s set properly
