Fender Blender as bass distortion!

[JimmyStrange]

I just had to get this one in as I can't find any other posts for it. I run:

Ampeg sub octave -> Fender Blender -> Sansamp BDDI

Three fantastic pedals, any one of them gives a killer sound, all 3 together is just monumental with a capital MM

As a player in a three piece the blender is great for giving a guitar sound when needed, but I cannot recommend it highly enough. I almost didn't want to share because I am so happy with this sound I wanted to keep it for myself. I do only use it sparingly in the band set up for obvious reasons. Please try it. you do have to play for a little while when you get it to find the settings that are right for you, but now I've nailed the sound I want from it when its on I haven't had to tweak it in 6 months. If i get chance over the weekend I'll try and add some sound clips. If anyone else has used/uses one of these I'd love to hear what you think.

Been gassing for one of these for ages. Just waiting for one at the right price
sounds absolutely huge through a decent rig with the sound set just perfectly. I thought I was the only one!

I've got the custom reissue. Cost about £90. A quick search on google finds it. I did pretty extensive research and the opinion seems to be that the reissue is true to the original, built like a jeep too (ie not quite a tank, but you still won't break it unless you're trying damn hard). I play it with my ampeg B2 Combo, which is basically the head slotted in with a 15, and a 410HE. Buy it. NOW!
