New fender pedals

Re: New fender pedals

Yeah but what does "‘A’ and ‘B’ overdrive voicings" mean?

I may have been taken by a podcast with a Fender guy and a guy that talks without understanding.

The manual says “A” works best with Blackface type amps and “B” works best with Bassbreaker (read Marshall) type amps.
The Boost side can be configured to either add gain (FD2 style) or level (FD3 style) but I don’t see an additional control for this? All I see is Gain, Volume, B/M/T/Presence. Hmm....

Great message from the Fender marketing department but what does it do? For example, the mode switch on my Dirt Clod switches from the 808 chip to ground-to-diode.

It would be nice if Fender explained what the switch actually did then let me decide what type of amp I want to use which setting with. Marketing ruins everything.

Lousy marketing.
Good marketing would be, as you said, describing what the switch actually does.

I’m guessing it’s an EQ shift like the HP/LP on an OCD.

What’s our status on these? How are the Fender pedals doing a year later?

Re: New fender pedals

I’ve decided that my next pedal is going to be a Fender. Yes, I am putting a finger on my own scale for these products, as is my custom.

The lineup is 15 deep now. Listening to the aforementioned podcast it sounds like Aguilar helped design the bass Preamp and Bruce Egnater helped with th MTG Tube Distortion.

There are a lot of cool pedals in the line now, the rotating speaker and Tre-Verb look like nice mod/Reverb entries.

Honestly, it bothers me that they are made in China but still priced like a Fender product. I expect Chinese pedals to be priced lower. Not Joyo low, but certainly lower than these are selling for.

A couple of them are quite good according to a friend, the various verbs and the delay too, she blast riffs to demonstrates the in the Fender booth at the trade shows and events.

I'm not sure about the boosts -but honestly -a good boost can be made by a 3rd grader with a fisher price soldering iron -so I'm confident it's good.

Amen.

It's same everywhere. You have to really dig in to figure out what exactly that marketing jargon means. Tol many companies think customers are dumb and get scared if you go in specifics.

Are you saying you know the hot fender pedal demo girl?

That video has some fun comments. Anyways I have the Engager boost. I like it because it has a switch to select the 'Q' of the mids to 400hz or 800hz. Also has a switch to select between buffered or true bypass. I get kind of tired with guitarists claiming how mystical their 1 knob boost pedal is... just get one with a 3 or 7-band EQ and make your boost exactly as you like it for the application.

The guy in the youtube comments who said "porn is irrelevant now. I have transcended" was doing all the objectifying. I remembered the video because it was such a horrible demo, for the sake of a demo. Then when I rewatched it I realized she replaced the Baroness guitarist and "purple" is one of only a dozen albums in my phone right now.

I was making jokes about objectifying. Purples pretty good record for sure.
