BOSS AND FENDER JOIN FORCES TO CREATE VINTAGE AMP PEDALS
Los Angeles , CA, January 18, 2007 — Fender’s amps of the ’50s
and’60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. BOSS and
Fender have teamed up to give guitarists unique Fender tone combined with
BOSS technology, sound quality, and reliability. Thanks to BOSS’
technology and tone know-how, the new FBM-1 and FDR-1 bring the natural,
fat, rich, bright tones of the 59 Fender Bassman and snappy overdrive tone
of the 65 Deluxe Reverb to a BOSS pedal format.
The FBM-1 includes the same controls as on the original Bassman;
Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ . In addition to the true tone quality
and durability, this new pedal offers BRIGHT IN providing an even brighter
sound, similar to the original Fender Bassman.
The FDR-1 has the same controls as on the original Deluxe Reverb;
Treble, Bass, Vibrato, and Reverb. Both pedals have an added Gain control
as well.
These pedals also function perfectly as a “pre-gain pedal” placed
before an already overdriven vintage or modern amp to add the famous tone
character of the Bassman or Deluxe Reverb.
Fender’s Ritchie Fliegler states, “We’re constantly being asked…Of the
many distortion devices out there, which one do we recommend to bring out
the overdrive in these classic amps – and keep that Fender tone intact.
Frankly, they’ve all left us a bit cold in some way or another. After
working with BOSS on this project — the answers are the FBM-1 and FDR-1.”
These new pedals fall under the class of a new series of BOSS pedals
called the Legend Series, products based on legendary products of
the past.
By combining Fender tone with BOSS technology and sound quality, the
FBM-1 59 Bassman and FDR-1 65 Deluxe Reverb provide road-ready stomp boxes
that go to the true core of guitar tone.
