Fender Bassman Driver

Bassman® pedals have all your basses covered. Drawing inspiration from the original tube amp line that laid way for Fender’s sub-sonic signal processing, the Bassman pedal line hosts a collection of meticulously crafted analog and digital circuits all curated from the ground up for bass-centric tonal expansion.

Conjure varying shades of gain, from light tube-like breakup to hi-gain chunk, while keeping your low end intact. Utilizing a complement of JFET circuitry and dynamic clipping stages, the Bassman Driver emulates the behavior of a bass tube amp driven to breakup. Flick the voice switch into the up position to kick in an additional layer of clipping for a heavy modern distortion voicing. Sculpt your tone further using the mids switch, offering two dialed-in levels of growl, and an internal tone control to set the high frequency content to your liking. The blend control keeps your low end solid by blending body and dynamics from your clean tone back into the mix.

JFET Drive Circuitry
Carefully sculpted JFET circuitry emulates the behavior of power tubes for natural, tube-like breakup and distortion.

Reactive Clipping Stages
Dig in deep to trigger a second layer of clipping, adding more distortion to your tone just by playing harder.

Blend In Clean Tone
Use the Blend control to mix in unaffected clean signal for the perfect mix of fullness and natural dynamics.

Internal Tone Control
Open the back cover to reveal an internal tone knob for finetuning high frequencies of the drive signal.

Soft-Touch Relay Bypassing
Relay True bypass switching ensures that when the pedal is off, your signal is clean and clear.

Road Ready Hardware
The rugged aluminum enclosure and metal hardware deliver road-worthy reliability. While the compact size and top-mounted jacks leave room for more pedals on your board.
