Fender Bassman Driver Bass Overdrive/Distortion Effect Pedal

The Fender Bassman Driver pedal offers dynamic overdrive and distortion tailored for bass players seeking rich, tube-like tones. Built with JFET transistors, the circuitry mimics the response of tube amplifiers, delivering natural breakup and distortion that reacts directly to your playing intensity. The Voice switch provides two gain options: a warm, tube-style overdrive for subtle grit and a modern distortion voice for aggressive, cutting tones. The Mids switch further sculpts the tone by shifting the midrange notch, allowing you to choose between enhanced clarity for mix balance or added growl and presence.

For additional tonal control, the Blend knob enables seamless integration of clean and driven signals, preserving low-end punch while adding the desired level of overdrive. The drive signal is processed through a cabinet-emulation circuit, ensuring consistent, high-quality tone whether used with traditional bass amps, PA systems, or cabinets with tweeters. Adjustable Level and Gain knobs provide fine-tuning of the output volume and distortion intensity, while internal trim controls allow advanced shaping of high-frequency content for further customization.

Engineered for professional reliability, the Bassman Driver features a -6dB pad switch for active basses, high-impedance input, and low-impedance output. Powered by a standard 9V DC connection or 9V battery, the pedal is equipped with true bypass switching to maintain signal integrity when disengaged. Whether adding subtle overdrive or intense distortion, the Bassman Driver delivers responsive, versatile tones for live and studio use.
