FenderThe Bends Compressor V2 Guitar Effects Pedal - Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Bends Compressor V2 pairs OTA compression with an independent clean boost and is designed for guitar and bass. Input and Release controls plus three Attack choices let you set sensitivity and how quickly compression takes hold. Blend returns clean signal to the compressed sound, while active Tone adjusts treble. The rear Vintage switch shifts the compressor from modern, transparent behavior to a warmer, smoother treatment with subtle saturation. Place the boost before compression for more sustain and compression response, or after it for a clean solo-output lift.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Balancing guitar or bass passages while mixing uncompressed signal back in through the Blend control.
- Placing the independent boost after compression when an increase in solo output is needed.
