Fender Bassman Fuzz

Fender · pedal

The Fender Bassman Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from Fender inspired by the tonal character associated with the Fender Bassman amplifier, one of the most historically influential tube amplifiers in rock history. The Bassman Fuzz delivers a thick, harmonically rich fuzz character with a wide frequency response suited to both guitar and bass applications. The Bassman amplifier has been influential in both blues guitar and rock bass contexts, and the Bassman Fuzz aims to translate that warm, open fuzz character into a compact pedal format with controls suited to dial in the thickness and texture of the fuzz output.
