The Fender The Bends V2 is a compressor and boost pedal for guitar and bass, with a choice of modern or vintage compression character. It suits players who want to even out their dynamics and add sustain, with a separate boost for solos.

• OTA-based compression that responds to playing dynamics
• Three-speed Attack switch, Release control and Input control
• Active Tone control with centre detent to cut or boost treble
• Blend control mixes the clean signal back in with the compressed signal
• Rear-mounted Vintage switch for a smoother, coloured compression
• Independent clean boost, with a Comp Pre/Post switch to place it before or after the compressor
• Switchable buffered and true bypass modes
• Footswitches can be set for momentary or latching operation
