Fender has refreshed its classic The Bends and The Pelt effect pedals, introducing versions specifically designed to enhance bass tones. The Bends V2 combines compression and a boost for versatile sound shaping, while the Pelt V2 features Sag and Bloom controls for fuzz shaping and includes an octave-up effect in Chaos mode. Both models offer enhanced functionality with a Blend control or knob for clean signal mixing and retaining low end, respectively. Additionally, the Bends V2 has a Vintage switch for authentic tones, and the Pelt V2 uses silicon transistors and a buffer-friendly input stage. Available at a cost of $229 each, these pedals boast rear panel multiswitches for footswitch action and true or buffered bypass switches.
The updates aim to make these iconic effects more accessible and versatile for bassists, catering to a broader range of playing styles and preferences. With their improved design and features, Fender ensures that musicians can continue to rely on The Bends and The Pelt for their signature sounds.
