Fender Bassman effects pedals

Analog meets digital - versatile effects for your bass

The Fender Bassman series includes five innovative effects pedals - Driver, Compressor, Fuzz, Delay and Reverb. Inspired by the iconic Fender tube amps from the early days of subsonic signal processing, these pedals allow for effortless and versatile tone shaping.

The combination of analog and digital technology provides a dynamic, finely tunable sound. With three knobs, two slide switches, a footswitch and top-mounted connections, the pedals are not only extremely user-friendly, but also perfect for any space-saving pedalboard.

Growl, crunch and everything in between!

Whether smooth tube overdrive or aggressive distortion - your bass sound always remains clear and stable. The Bassman Driver relies on a combination of JFET circuits and dynamic clipping stages, which deceptively recreates the warm, natural character of a tube amplifier. The Voice switch activates an additional clipping stage in the upper position, providing intense, modern distortion. The Mids switch allows you to choose between two preset growl options, while the Tone control adjusts the treble in the signal. The blend control allows you to flexibly insert the clean signal into the mix, providing more punch and balanced dynamics.

Features:

  • Two different gain modes in the JFET circuit for versatile overdrive and distortion sounds
  • Dynamic clipping technology for authentic tube-like distortionIntegrated speaker simulation
  • Integrated speaker simulation for optimal sound through various amplifiers or PA systems
  • Soft-touch footswitch with relay control and true bypass; automatic signal forwarding in case of power failure
  • Side attenuation switch (pad) for adjusting the input level for active basses
  • Road-ready design with top-mounted connections and robust aluminum housing
  • Classic Fender look thanks to recessed vintage-style aluminum control plate

Fuzz frequencies: from buttery smooth to crunchy

From velvety-soft to rough and aggressive - the Bassman Fuzz Pedal combines the best fuzz sounds of the last decades. With two basic sound characters and extensive setting options, you can tailor the effect perfectly to your sound. In addition to the classic, powerful gain fuzz, the effect can be flexibly adjusted and cleanly integrated into your bass signal - also ideal for setups with buffers. The Focus switch offers three positions for frequency control: a full frequency spectrum, a mid and treble emphasis or treble only. The blend control ensures that you can always find the perfect mix of fuzz and clean signal.

Features:

  • Voice switch to choose between two sound characters: a warm, compressed vintage fuzz and a modern, dynamic fuzz that responds to your touch
  • Tone control for precise adjustment of the treble content in the sound
  • Soft-touch footswitch with relay control for true bypass and automatic signal path if no power supply is available
  • Pad switch on the side that lowers the input level for active basses
  • Robust aluminum housing with top-mounted connections - ideal for use on tour and in the studio

Controlled pressure - the key to your powerful bass sound

A solid bass sound needs compression - and that's exactly what the Bassman Compressor Pedal provides. The focus is on velvety-soft RMS compression, as used in high-quality studio rack devices. The Ratio and Release switches give you access to practical, preset variants, while the Level and Comp controls allow you to adjust the amount of compression to your liking. The blend control allows you to leave the clean signal in the mix proportionally, which enables a perfect balance between compression and natural dynamics. Ideal for a precise, powerful bass sound.

Features:

  • High-quality RMS compression as used in professional studios, with simple operation and compact design for pedalboards
  • Two ratio presets for either subtle compression or gentle limiting
  • Attack and release controls to precisely adjust the compression to your playing style
  • Soft-touch footswitch with relay control that enables true bypass and automatically routes the signal if no power is available
  • Pad switch on the side for level adjustment with active basses
  • Robust aluminum housing with top-mounted connections - ideal for use on tour and in the studio

Spatial sound made to measure - from subtle reverb to atmospheric sound clouds

High-quality reverb for basses used to only be available in professional studios - but with the Bassman Reverb Pedal you can easily integrate this sound into your setup. Two DSP reverb algorithms specially tuned for basses provide impressive spatial depth without washing out the sound. The low-cut control filters out the lowest frequencies from the reverb tail to preserve the clarity and definition of your sound. Another highlight is the pre-delay switch, which inserts a minimal delay between the attack of a note and the start of the reverb - for even more precision and presence. Whether you want a subtle ambient sound or dense, floating soundscapes - with the Bassman Reverb you can determine the intensity to suit your taste.

Features:

  • Low-cut control to cut out low frequencies from the reverb and pre-delay switch for a precise, clean sound
  • Attenuation control with which you can fine-tune the treble content of the reverb signal
  • Soft-touch switch for selecting between true and buffered bypass, including natural decay phase when switching
  • Pad switch on the side for level adjustment with active basses
  • Robust aluminum housing with top-mounted connections - ideal for use on tour and in the studio

Perfect control over time and space - from subtle echoes to pulsating rhythms

The Bassman Delay offers an echo specially optimized for bass, allowing you to create anything your music demands, from subtle delays to huge soundscapes. Two professional DSP algorithms control the repetitions: You can choose between warm, analog repeats and precise, digital echo effects - easily adjustable at the flick of a switch. Use the Time and Feedback controls to set the delay time and the number of repeats. The Low switch determines how strongly the low frequencies are present in the echo. So you can either add the delay gently to the bass tone without changing the core sound, or send the entire signal into the delay, resulting in rhythmically pulsating, wave-like beats. With the Bassman Delay, there are no limits to your creativity - perfect for cool, pulsating ambient sounds and much more.

Features:

  • Special DSP algorithms for analogue and digital delay sounds, optimized for bass, with analogue, unaltered thru signal
  • Low switch that controls how present the low frequencies remain in the delay repeats
  • High and low cut controls with which you can precisely adjust the frequency components in the repeats
  • Soft-touch switch for selecting between true and buffered bypass, including a natural decay phase when switching
  • Pad switch on the side for level adjustment with active basses
  • Robust aluminum housing with top-mounted connections - ideal for use on tour and in the studio
