Fender Bassman Compressor Bass Guitar Effects Pedal

Bassman® pedals are designed to meet all your bass needs. Inspired by Fender's original tube amp line that pioneered sub - sonic signal processing, the Bassman pedal series features a collection of carefully - crafted analogue and digital circuits, all developed from the ground up for bass - focused tonal expansion. The Bassman Compressor is a hassle - free professional pedal specifically made for bass instruments. It emphasizes ease of use and excellent tone. Under its simple control layout, this compact pedal uses smooth RMS compression, the same circuitry found in top - notch studio rack compressors. The ratio and release switch offer two precisely - tuned presets to get the best out of your bass with minimal effort. Other compression settings are adjusted using straightforward level and compression controls. The blend control lets you add fullness and dynamics from your clean signal back into the mix for the perfect balance of compression and feel.

Internal attack and release controls allow for more precise adjustment to match your playing style. Soft - touch relay true bypass with auto bypass when there's no power. Side - mounted pad switch for active basses. Top - mounted jacks and a road - tough aluminium enclosure. Specifications: Input: One - 1/4'. Power Consumption: 85mA.

Using the Fender Bassman Compressor is easy. First, connect your bass guitar to the input jack. You can power it with a 9 - volt battery or a 9VDC center - negative AC adapter. Once it's powered on, start adjusting the controls. Use the ratio and release switches to choose from two preset settings that are great for different compression needs. The level and compression controls let you fine - tune how much compression you want. And don't forget to use the blend control to mix in the clean signal for a balanced sound. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. If you're using a battery, replace it regularly to avoid power issues. When you're not using the pedal, it's a good idea to turn it off or unplug it. Also, be careful when transporting it because although it has a tough aluminium enclosure, rough handling can still cause damage. And if you have an active bass, use the side - mounted pad switch for the best performance.
