I have this pedal. It sounds great. The build quality is excellent. It comes with a little booklet that goes into some depth on the pedal's features and how best to use them.
This line of pedals is so well thought-out. The LEDs are cool (for people who need them), the flip-out battery compartment is really smart, and the staggered jacks for input and output are a really, really fantastic idea!
One of my favorite things about this pedal is the SILENCE!!! I lined up every compression pedal they had at the store I bought it from, and this is the ONLY one that was almost perfectly quiet when on. The worst of the bunch? Boss CP-1X. By far the most hiss/buzzing when turned on. My other favorite. The Lost Highway. I set it to a really mild effect level. The Bends and Lost Highway are never off. Love them both...
I own this pedal and really enjoy the new fender line which really surprised me- if I can give a sound to this pedal it would be ‘Natural’, doesnt taint your sound in the usual squishy way
Might get me one. Although I have TC Hypergravity and BOSS CP1X all great compressors, always need some new sound to play with. That might just be it. The price is good too.
I just got one. Used it with my bass at practice last night. Sounds great doesn't color the sound too much and is super quiet and I use quite a bit of grit on my signal. I used it with a sansamp GED2112 pre amp.
It's a really clever idea having added a visible indicator. Maybe for the next one, I don't know, you could add some sort of gauge you know? Like… everyone.
Basically have a guy play a muted funky groove and turn the knobs. Then have a guy play some chicken picking and turn the knobs. Pro plays and tinkers then explains what happened. That's where it's at...
Got one of these today, the jewel led is really bright - almost uncomfortably so. I have a Santa Ana overdrive and the led on that is nowhere near as bright.
Please have pros demo the pedals. And turn all 4 knobs while doing so please. An explaination of changing the names of knobs from what we are used to (recovery vs attack) would've been nice. Not enough playing and tinkering by a pro. Funk, country, etc where these are used the most.

Play The Bends on The Bends, please.
A nice presentation by two competent professionals--and two really good guitarists!
I've watched this a million times, love this demo - one day hopefully i'll be able to afford this
Might just have to buy this pedal because it’s named after one of the best albums of all time.
which one?
@@highcorp9678 I'm assuming Radioheads album, honestly in rainbows is a much better album. It's his or hers opinion tho
@@st1lllif313 ok thanks
Hahahahaha I did buy it for that reason too

*next to the ok computer delay*
Kernel i was thinking the same hahahaha
Baby’s got the Bends
*oh no*
how about Kid Analog Chorus? xD
megaman13able I would buy that
should have been named the Fender Bender, missed opportunity!
probably would have been too similar to the old Fender Blender fuzz
No it doesn't make sense
Since the B Bender guitar is know as the Fender Bender.

Awesome comp. And thanks for being in tune. A rarity.
I purchased the Bends, Pugilist & Mirror Image pedals. They are the best. Thanks Fender team!!!

Just bought the mirror image delay yesterday, and this compressor sounds like another pedal I might get as well as the Santa Ana

Thanks brother's, nice tones and demonstration.
5:35 Stan’s such a guitarist. 😀 Can’t NOT play! ...very beautiful playing by the way. The intro alone is worth watching!
someone play the bends with this pedal
I got one, sounds amazing
Aaaah sustain. I just got one of these and it's so sweet.
David Dyte awesome :)
Nice playing Stan!

i guess the threshold is set and can't be adjusted? i own the pedal and i'm just looking to understand it better. love what it does to the sound.
Does this pedal increase the sustain of the note as well?
Sounds pretty good. Even when cranked up. Can't wait to check it out!
So is recovery ratio, drive is threshold and level make up?
That outro was ultra cool :-)
Can you help me a bit please? Is recovery the attack? If it is so, why is it called recovery? Can I not adjust sustain? Thanx!
Baby's got the bends, oh no
Logan Randall I don’t have any real friends, no no no no no
Radiohead
That’s a really nice way to explain the pedal :)
Will this pedal be good for bass guitar? I'm wondering if this will not eat low end. Looking good and sound nice as well.
Rafaels Sancess They were specifically designed with the guitar in mind. I doubt it would work but I'm not a bass player :/
The manual says its for bass and guitar BTW. www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10001/OM_7713289000_The_Bends_REV_A.pdf

Jason Sneed sweet
Fender has the guitars,amps and pedals.
Looks like it would also be very good for British Folk Rock, as well as Country.
i wish you guys would design pedals where the connections were at the top in stead so i can fit pedals side by side and hide the cables
Sounds great!
Very nice ,good job!

Can this pedal only flash one color light while working?

I put black gaffers tape on mine.
But does it Gilmour?
It Greenwood's
Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird where are you now, when I need you?

Blame it on the blackstar
I am liked
Hey Fender, Electric bass demo?
Anyone fancy tabbing this? :D
What is fancy tabbing?

Too thin. Looking for a pedal to fatten up the clean tone without being muddy. This s not the pedal.
This was painful hearing you bang that chord over and over.
