The foundations of great tone

Fender have already demonstrated their knack for making great pedals – they’ve got nothing left to prove. Despite this, the Compugilist is a typically punchy offering. All-analog circuitry with independently switchable distortion and compression.

This means you can use the distortion or compression separately or stacked. Whether you’re after sizzling crunch, chiming chord part clarity or a bit of both, the Compugilist has got you covered.

Rugged design

A rugged anodized aluminium enclosure ensure that this stompbox is totally tour-proof – stomp to your heart’s content. In addition, a simple set of backlit controls offer you just the right amount of control without complicating matters. Add an amp jewel LED indicator, and you’ve got classic Fender design that’ll fit on the most contemporary of boards.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
