Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Designed as an all-in-one tonal solution for bassists, the Fender Downtown Express combines an onboard compressor, a 3-band EQ, and an overdrive circuit with speaker emulation into a sleek, silver anodized aluminum housing. Each effect can be independently bypassed, while a dedicated order toggle allows you to reorder the compressor and overdrive circuits to suit your signal flow preference. Outfitted with stage-ready LED-backlit knobs, a direct output for effortless integration into live or studio setups, and a mute footswitch for silent tuning, this versatile pedal runs on a standard 9VDC center-negative power supply.

From Fender

Your one-stop shop for bass tone-shaping, the Downtown Express bass multi-effect puts everything you need for killer bass tone right at your feet. All the bass essentials are there - compressor, 3-band EQ and overdrive - each switchable on its own, or you can use the Mute switch to kill the signal for silent tuning. The Direct Output makes it easy to integrate this pedal into any performance situation - stage or studio. We recognize that a truly powerful signal chain needs to be flexible, so we included a switch that lets you reorder the compressor and overdrive circuits to taste.
