Amazingly clean booster + handy buffer all in one pedal
Cicco 18.10.2018
I bought the MC-401 for my Bass pedal board, as I usually play clean bass sound and sometime add some colours i needed a very clean booster but... I was also looking for a buffer .. this pedal gave me all that i was looking in a sturdy well made pedal case. I run this pedal at the very end of my pedal board chain.... The sound in the output is very clean, when in true bypass its own buffer is very handy with long cable run (you can hear the difference bypassing this pedal).

The only two things I would change in this pedal (but only for personal feel) is the foot-switch which is kind of too hard and you have to step on on it fully to turn on the unit.. some people like to go hard on top and the light is too bright for my eyes (I`ve placed a white tape on top so I can still see the operation light)

Overall this booster is the cleanest I ever owned and I can enhance my runs or solos without any lost or change in my original Bass sound

It Does What It Should
Sonic Rose 11.01.2021
I had a guitar built by Suhr that has coil splitting and wanted something to boost the signal of the single coil option to match the output of the humbuckers...without any (or apparently no) coloration of sound. It works very well. Happy with it.

Top Quality Kit
Tom2879 22.02.2019
The MXR Line booster is a top quality pedal for guitarists who need a lift during a solo but you don't have a sound engineer to do that for you. It's real simple to use, just put it last in your amp effects loop, switch it on and boom, there's boost to lift your solo to the front of the mix.

Top quality. I have this in my board for the last six years.

High quality boost/line driver
Heaventeo 07.01.2019
You can use it in front of your other pedals, or in your effect loop of your amp.Wherever you put it the result is boosting without tone loss and always be in front of your mix for soloing or crushing metal tone pushing the front of the amp head.This is the pedal that you gonna keep, even if you sell every other pedal you have.
Even if you use a 10 meter lenth guitar cable, this pedal makes it like it is 1 meter only.

Exactly what it says on the tin :)
Shane H. 21.05.2013
This pedal is a very compact and neat piece of kit. The quality of the build is tremendous, Bulletproof! The presentation of the pedal is very appealing. As its a "booster" pedal the functions are few, but it does its job to he highest standard. It has a "True Bypass" and when the "boost" is engaged it keeps that true tone tho whole way up. Amazing pedal and highly recomended for every guitarists rig, acoustic or electric.

clean boost
Anonymous 05.12.2016
Amazing that it doesn't matter if you put it before or at the end of you're pedals, it is just clean all the way, perfect boost for solos, or set a level to match you're single coils with you're hum-bucker guitar
