FenderDowntown Express Bass Multi Effect Pedal

Tasty Fuzz with excellent versatile sounds. Love this thing !

É possível extrair desse pedal timbres completamente limpos, overdrive, crunch, distorção e até mesmo alto ganho.Tem dois canais distintos, sendo um com ganho menor e outro com ganho maior. É possível mixar os 2 canais e obter um som com ataque e definição com distorção e sustain, algo que somente consegui extrair com pedais de 2 canais e blend knob. As texturas são complexas e ricas. Também é possível ligar os 2 canais em série e obter ganho ainda maior.O ponto negativo é que só tem um knob de tone para cada canal. Seria muito mais versátil se tivesse controles de grave, médio e agudo separados para cada canal. Entretanto, isso pode ser ajustado em seu amplificador. No meu caso, somente o knob de tonalidade já é suficiente.Gravei um vídeo que inclui nesse review, gravado com Fender Deluxe Reverb 65 RI e Fender Stratocaster com captadores Kinman. O microfone do celular não ajudou muito, pois comprimiu um pouco o som, mas já é possível se ter uma boa ideia.Gostei muito do pedal e espero poder ajudar de alguma forma em sua decisão.

I needed a buffer for my board cause it was a little muffled soundingThis thing really opened up my toneBoosted the output to match my amp so now its pretty straight forward setting up vs before when itd take 10-15 minutes getting my amp eq’d just right.The high freq knob really helps get alot of the woofyness associated with humbuckers.Love the tuner out function

The Fender Downtown Express has everything I need — Compression (with monitor LED), EQ, Overdrive, and an XLR Out.It’s beautifully designed and well crafted, as one would expect from a brand like Fender. I love the gold finish and backlit knobs.I’ve been looking for a DI to replace my SansAmp (which didn’t cut it for me). I was initially considering a Darkglass pedal but they’re so expensive. The Downtown Express is priced extremely well considering the quality and capabilities of this pedal.I love the sound of the overdrive. it doesn’t have a blend knob, which I thought would be a dealbreaker, but I’ve been I’m able to dial in a fat and crispy drive tone without losing the low end.I keep the drive knob down pretty low. However, it can get pretty distorted if you need it to. For my needs, I wouldn’t ever turn it past noon (a little goes a long way).The compression does exactly what I need it to. I never turn it off. The sustain is massive.I don’t mess with the EQ too much, sometimes I’ll boost the bass or the mids depending on the context.I usually run it through my Fender Rumble amp or use it as a DI at church.I would definitely recommend this pedal.

Variables are perfect, well built and I love the bright green leds and the knobs cool blue ledsSuperb touch by Fender a great sounding rotary effect I highly recommend this item.
