Fender The Bends V2 Compressor is a combination of a compressor and boost pedal that offers silent operation and naturally reactive compression for both guitar and bass. The OTA technology-based construction tracks playing dynamics in real-time, smoothing out volume differences and adding sustain and fullness to the tone.

Natural compression and user-friendly controls

The Bends V2 makes adjusting compression simple. The three-position attack switch, release knob, and input knob allow for fine-tuning the compressor's response to different playing styles and instruments. The result is smoother dynamics without losing the playing feel.

Blend and tone controls finalize the sound

The blend control can mix the clean signal with the compression effect, preserving the original dynamics while utilizing the benefits of compression. The active tone control allows for boosting or cutting the treble range, ensuring the sound fits the desired overall character.

Compressor and boost in one pedal

The Bends V2 features a separate ultra-clean boost circuit that can be used alongside the compressor. The Comp Pre/Post switch allows the boost to be placed either before or after the compressor. Boosting before the compressor accentuates sustain, while boosting after compression raises the overall output level for solos.

The aluminum-bodied pedal operates with a 9V center-negative power supply and fits into various pedalboard configurations.
