Product Information


Re-creates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman amp.

Fender amps of the '50s and '60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. Thanks to BOSS' technology and tone know-how, the new FBM-1 Pedal brings the natural, fat, rich, bright tone of the Fender Bassman to a BOSS pedal. In conjunction with Fender, the BOSS FBM-1 re-creates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman. Features include the same controls on the original Bassman amp: Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls. The FBM-1 pedal also functions perfectly as a "pre-gain pedal" placed before an already overdriven amp to add the tone character of the Bassman.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

Boss FBM-1 Fender Bassman Pedal Features:

  • Re-creates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman amp
  • Additional BRIGHT IN provides a brighter sound, similar to the original Bassman
  • Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls
  • Road-tough BOSS metal construction
  • Perfect pre-gain pedal for adding or retaining Fender tone color

Crunch down on this

This pedal is the stuff that dreams are made of. Although the sound was born in an older time, it still has the tone and presence to turn heads today. If you are looking for a raunchy overdrive, look no further. This pedal is worth it's weight in sound and dynamic presentation alone, but it also comes in the form of a boss tank.

A great modeling pedal

This is a great pedal overall. Use it to character your amp, not drive it. The overdrive to me sounds a bit muddy. I own a a 59' Bassman Reissue and a Epiphone Valve Jr. For some small club gigs, I use the bassman. When i do bigger shows, i actually use the Valve JR. the FBM-1 is great because it allows me to character my Valve Jr. to sound very similar to my bassman. Then i use a boss Blues Driver to actually drive in my leads. here is my pedal set up FBM-1-->BD2-->Danelectro Reel Echo-->PT-13 tuner The FBM-1 will definitely get you close to the sound of a real Bassman, you just need to learn to EQ it and you will be fine.

Best blues pedal on the market

Best blues pedal on the Market. Add a Boss Blues Driver to boost your solos and voila...scorching texas blues at it's best. I use this pedal with an American Deluxe Strat and a '65 Twin Reverb RI. I also play through a Blues Deluxe Tweed for a more authentic '59 Bassman crunch at smaller venues. Here's a recipe for a pro quality blues sound on a budget: 1. Fender Stratocaster , 2. Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or Deluxe Reverb, 3. Boss Fender Bassman Pedal.

Total crap!!!!

Strangely some years ago,I actually had the idea that it would be cool have a pedal that simulates an overdriven Bassman tone.So when they finally came out with it,I was pretty excited.After trying it out though,I immediately asked myself 'how can Fender authorize such garbage?'.It is really that bad!!!The tone is so harsh and unmusical,I can't believe that anyone would find inspiration using this.It makes a good sounding tube amp sound like a crappy solid state amp!!!!Terrible.I even tried it out a few times to see if I was wrong but I always walk away with the same impression.I've played old 50s tweed amps including a 1958 bassman....trust me,this pedal has nothing to do with that tonal ballpark.The only thing that I like about this pedal is that it looks cool!!!I wouldn't pay a dime for it.
