M-VAVE Blackbox Guitar & Bass Amp Modeler Processor

Portable Multi‑Effects and Amp Modeling for Guitar & Bass

The M-VAVE Blackbox is a compact multi-effects processor and amp modeler designed for electric guitar and bass players who need a wide range of tones in a travel-friendly unit. With 20 amp models, 20 IR cabinet slots, and over 60 effects, it delivers flexible sound shaping for practice, recording, and live performance-without the need for multiple pedals or heavy amplifiers.

The Blackbox offers 80 editable presets (40 factory + 40 user), so you can store complete signal chains and recall them instantly. Six main effect modules cover noise gate, boost, compressor, preamp, 3-band EQ, modulation, delay, and reverb. You can customize the order of the modules, switch them on or off with the dual footswitches, and adjust parameters via the PARA knob and main display. Modulation and delay rate can be tapped in using the right footswitch for precise tempo-based effects.

For connectivity, the unit includes a standard 1/4" mono input, 1/4" mono output, and 1/8" stereo output for headphones or line use. USB Type‑C handles both power and audio (44.1 kHz / 24‑bit USB audio with loopback on/off), allowing you to use the Blackbox as an audio interface for recording to a computer or mobile device. Bluetooth music support lets you stream backing tracks, while the headphone monitoring function makes silent practice straightforward. The processor supports Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android software for editing, swapping, sharing presets, importing IR files, and performing firmware updates.

The built-in rechargeable 2000 mAh battery provides up to 10 hours of use on a full charge and can be powered via a standard 5 V USB supply or power bank. With a dynamic range of 105 dB and IR processing at 44.1 kHz / 24‑bit mono WAV (1024 sampling points), the Blackbox is engineered to deliver clean, detailed signal processing in a small footprint. The unit measures 113 x 109 x 41 mm and weighs approximately 410 g, making it easy to fit in a gig bag or backpack. A USB cable is included.
