Open Box Fender Downtown Express Bass Multi-Effects Pedal Level 2 197881278113

Very good controls works great with the tuner and the compressor is a killer love it

Good quality and sound.

I love this pedal! I just got it a couple weeks ago and it is probably the best bass pedal I've ever purchased! (especially for the price) The EQ is very versatile and usable, the compression sounds very smooth and clean, and the overdrive is INSANE! The amp simulation in the overdrive adds just the right amount of grit and natural sound that y bass needs to cut through a loud mix, but keeps the low frequencies required to fill in the bottom end. Plus, this this just looks SEXY! The only con with this pedal is the noise floor. When I kick it on, it seems to add a little more hiss/noise to the signal. Not a huge issue when you're playing with a band, especially if you have a good sound guy. As a live and studio mixing engineer myself, I can say that it isn't a big issue at all. I tend to roll off everything above 5k on the bass channel anyways, so it's barely noticeable at that point. All in all, it's an amazing pedal, at least for me. It looks great, sounds great, isn't too expensive, and is truly a top notch pedal.

I have used this on a few gigs and at band practice many of times. The Overdrive is comparable to the OCD (that I also have), the EQ is super wide range and the compressor is so adjustable, you can feel the note being squished if you push it just right. the down side... I wish the input and output were next to each other so it was easier to set up at gigs and practice. I have it on a Mono Lite board with a tuner and another small pedal and its kinda bothersome when i need to jump over the tuner out cable to get ready for a gig. besides that... 5/5.

The first pedal I received had an intermittent issue where 5 of the LED lights would go out. The issue came and went without apparent rhyme or reason. Guitar Center promptly facilitated the return and sent a replacement pedal immediately. I no longer had an issue with the LED's, but as I used the pedal, I realized the it took a significant amount of the basses signal out of the mix when none of the effects were being used. It does not have a true bypass. When I tried to use it at a live venue the sound guy, one of the best in town, could not get an acceptable signal from my pedal board until I removed the Downtown Express pedal.
