The Fender Downtown Express is a comprehensive multi-effect pedal for Bass Guitars, which combines 3x essential tools to create the perfect Bass tone. The 3x components; Overdrive, Compressor and Equalizer – can each be operated separately or in any combination. A switch on the face also allows the Overdrive and Compressor to swap places in the effect chain, dependant on the desired final result. A direct balanced XLR output gives additional routing options both on-stage and in the studio, and a dedicated Tuner output is also included. The Downtown Express is presented in the robust brushed metal format common to all new wave Fender effect units.
The main features of the Fender Downtown Express include:
Multi-Effect Pedal for Electric Bass
Level/Tone/Drive Controls (Overdrive)
Blend/Gain/Threshold Controls (Compressor)
Bass/Middle/treble Controls (Equalizer)
Master Control & Overdrive/Compressor Order Switch
Used this through a JP bass cub bg120 amp and found the overdrive was noisy. Didn’t find the tone to my liking. The compressor just knocks back the volume way too much. Lots of effects, but doesn’t perform very well. Sent back for a refund as I knew I wasn’t going to get on with it.
