  BOSS 1959 Fender Bassman Pedal
Boss was showing this off at NAMM. I would like to try one out, but I wonder how it sounds with harp?


Fender amps of the '50s and '60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. Thanks to BOSS' technology and tone know-how, the new FBM-1 brings the natural, fat, rich, bright tone of the Fender Bassman to a BOSS pedal. In conjunction with Fender, the new BOSS FBM-1 recreates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman. Features include the same controls on the original Bassman: Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls. The FBM-1 also functions perfectly as a "pre-gain pedal" placed before an already overdriven amp to add the tone character of the Bassman.

I wonder how it sounds in front of a 59 Bassman repro. (or a reissue)
 
How does it sound in front of a 59 Bassman? Like stereo -- in reverse.
 
Did you have the chance to try this out yet? I'm thinking of using one with my other effects and running it straight into my small J Turser amp or directly through the PA. Let me know. mikel-lee at comcast dot net.

Thanks!
 
I tried it at a music store. It's like a tube screamer. It just makes you a little louder with some hiss and makes you feed back. Good for guitar but useless for harp. It might be good for the PA, but the guitar amp I tried it though already had too much gain for harp.
