Here's what Fender say about the Bends Compressor Pedal:
Dynamics are a crucial part of playing music. When controlled they bring music to life, but uneven or wild playing can ruin a performance. We put our 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.
Designed by our in-house team of experts, The Bends Compressor is an all-original circuit. We consulted with a plethora of players while designing this pedal, and the resulting stompbox is packed with stage-ready features.
The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminium, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance. We even made swapping batteries quicker and easier with our exclusive “patent applied for”, magnetically latched 9V battery door.
Control your dynamics with The Bends Compressor, the latest sound-sculpting offering from Fender.
A compressor is a type of guitar effect that reduces the dynamic range of the guitar signal by attenuating the louder parts while boosting the quieter ones. This results in a more consistent and even sound, with a smoother overall volume level. Compressors are used to even out the differences in volume between different notes or chords, making them sound more uniform and polished.
Compressor pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as threshold (the level at which compression starts), ratio (the amount of compression applied), attack (how quickly compression is applied), and release (how quickly compression is released). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can tailor the compression effect to suit their playing style and musical preferences.
Compressors are commonly used in a wide range of musical genres, including rock, blues, country, and funk, to enhance sustain, control dynamics, and add punch to guitar tones. They are particularly useful for achieving a consistent and professional sound in both live performances and studio recordings. Popular compressor pedal models include the MXR Dyna Comp, Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer, and Keeley Compressor Plus.
