Fender Downtown Express Bass Multi-Effects Pedal

The Fender Downtown Express bass multi-effects pedal is a powerful all-in-one pedal that puts an indispensable palette of bass effects at your feet. This multifunctional bass effects pedal shapes your tone with its simple interface and is ideal for bassists who want to expand their sonic possibilities on stage or in the studio. The pedal provides three essential bass effects—compression, overdrive and 3-band EQ, as well as a mute button, allowing you to craft your signature sound.

Dial-in the Perfect Overdrive

With the Downtown Express's Overdrive circuit, you can achieve tones from a slight overdrive to full-on distortion. Simply adjust the drive and tone knobs to tailor the amount of gain and balance it all out with the 3-band EQ using bass, mid and treble. The pedal's analog circuitry recreates the warm, tube like overdrive and distortion beloved by bassists.

Compression and 3-Band EQ

In addition to overdrive, the Downtown Express offers compression with a neat twist. Whether your additional effects pedal comes before or after the Downtown Express does not matter. Simply toggle the OD/comp switch to reorder your effects at will while modulating the tone with gain and threshold to design your perfect sound.

Simple Yet Versatile

Despite its advanced sound shaping capabilities, the Downtown Express is straightforward to operate. Each effect has dedicated knobs for tweaking key parameters, as well as a mute footswitch to instantly activate or bypass the effect. With its tough stompbox design, the Downtown Express is built to handle the demands of any gig while providing a wide range of professional bass tones.
