Fender The Bends Compressor Pedal

Description
Drive and Recovery controls let you dial in the perfect amount of compression to complement your playing style and extend sustain, while the Blend control lets you mix in the dry signal to maintain your natural pick attack. The Amp Jewel LED changes color from white to pink along with your playing to help show when the compression circuit is engaged and how long your signal is affected.
Designed by Fender in-house team of experts, The Bends Compressor is an all-original circuit. Fender consulted with a plethora of players while designing this pedal, and the resulting stompbox is packed with stage-ready features.
The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance. The designers even made swapping batteries quicker and easier with their exclusive “patent applied for," magnetically latched 9V battery door.
Control your dynamics with The Bends Compressor, the latest sound-sculpting offering from Fender.

It has some magic in it

A pedal you know you're going to keep right out of the box. Compression is nearly perfectly subtle, but it adds a slight treble boost that put some top-end sparkle in my amp, especially with single coils.
If you like compressor's it's hard to beat this one.

Excellent compressor that is subtle and doesn't add noise to the signal. Using it with clean and distorted tones and it sounds fantastic. The blend knob is an amazing feature so you don't have to go full bore with the compression. And the level knob can give a nice boost if you need it. Recovery knob is fast to slow and I tend to keep it on the slow side. The drive knob is set just right so when you strum or pick hard it activates the compressor. Outstanding piece of gear from Fender.
Yes I'd buy again
