Fender Bassman Driver Effects Pedal Aluminum Red

The Fender Bassman Driver effects pedal gives you versatile bass overdrive in a compact stompbox. Whether you want subtle tube-like breakup or aggressive distortion, this pedal has you covered. Its JFET circuitry and dynamic clipping stages emulate the saturated tone of a bass tube amp pushed to overdrive. Switch to the "up" voice setting for heavier distortion with an extra layer of clipping. The mids switch offers two levels of midrange grit to suit your needs. An internal tone control sets the high end to your taste. The blend control mixes in your clean bass tone to maintain solid low end. For bassists seeking creative and flexible overdrive, the Bassman Driver opens up a range of inspiring sonic possibilities right at your feet. Varying Shades of Bass Overdrive The Bassman Driver gives you control over the amount of overdrive, from subtle breakup to heavily distorted. Its JFET-based circuit recreates the natural compression and harmonics of an overdriven tube bass amp. The voice switch kicks in more clipping diodes for a thicker, more aggressive distortion sound. Whether you want a hint of grit for shaping your clean tone or all-out fuzz for solos and riffs, this pedal delivers. The blend control lets you mix in as much or as little of your direct bass signal as needed to maintain low end punch. Sculpt Your Tone With the Mids Switch The mids switch provides two levels of midrange growl to suit your bass and amp. Select between more open mids for a classic rock sound or tighter mids for a modern hard rock and metal tone. The internal tone control fine-tunes the high end to complement your mids setting. Between the mids switch and tone control, you can achieve a range of midrange characters to cut through the mix. The Bassman Driver gives you the tone-shaping tools to forge your own signature overdrive sound. Built for Bass As part of Fender's Bassman pedal line, the Bassman Driver was designed specifically for bass. Its circuitry and controls were crafted to preserve low end, allowing overdrive without losing bottom-end punch or becoming muddy. The blend control plays an important role by mixing in your direct bass signal to provide solid low end foundation under the overdrive. Whether you play four, five or six strings, this pedal was made to handle the low tones and extended range of the bass guitar.
