Fender The Bends Compressor Pedal

Our Take:

If you feel like your live music is lacking a certain something, chances are: it needs some controlled dynamics. That's where the Bends Compressor pedal from Fender comes into play! The Bends is a studio-quality stompbox that provides high-grade compression to your signal - without ruining your carefully cultivated tone. With intuitive compression controls, and an LED that changes color to show when (and for how long) the compression circuit is engaged, The Bends is a phenomenally useful tool for your rig. 

Fender's Take:

Dynamics are a crucial part of playing music. When controlled, they bring music to life, but uneven or wild playing can ruin a performance. Fender put their expertise to work creating The Bends Compressor, a studio-quality stompbox that tames wild volume spikes without altering your tone. Drive and Recovery controls let you dial in the perfect amount of compression to complement your playing style and extend sustain, while the Blend control lets you mix in the dry signal to maintain your natural pick attack. The Amp Jewel LED changes color from white to pink along with your playing to help show when the compression circuit is engaged and how long your signal is affected.
