The Trapper Bass Distortion provides bass players with two independent and stackable distortion circuits. Distortion channel 1  features a crossover-blend circuit to maintain clean low frequencies and punch while the second ‘solo’ Distortion 2 channel is said to provide added gain and crunch. There is also a  Frequency and Sub Level knobs to tweak the overall tone on the second channel

According to Fender, the Acoustic Preverb pedal incorporates a “high-fidelity” preamp with digital three reverb settings voiced exclusively for the acoustic guitar. The pedal houses one reverb footswitch and another one to disable the signal. For cutting feedback, a Notch filter and polarity switch are available, while a Tilt knob is a shortcut to modify the overall EQ balance.

  • Digital reverb with three unique settings
  • High-fidelity preamp
  • Anti-feedback notch filter
  • Tilt EQ control
  • LED-backlit knobs

Both pedals will be available from November 2020
