Fishman

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Fishman is represented by Acoustic Effects Pedals, Preamp & DI Pedals and Looper Pedals. Current listings include Triple Play USB Receiver, Platinum Pro EQ/DI Preamp and TriplePlay Foot Controller. That makes the range relevant to players looking for time-based effects and ambience, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Acoustic Effects Pedals

Acoustic effects pedals are voiced for piezo, magnetic or microphone-based acoustic instruments, where pickup impedance, body resonance and feedback can make the source difficult to balance. This group includes preamps, EQ, compression, ambience and anti-feedback tools. Look for input impedance, notch filters, phase switching, balanced outputs and clean headroom. The right design should preserve the instrument’s attack and body while giving the amplifier, mixer or PA a more stable signal.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.

Buffered Bypass

Buffered bypass keeps an active buffer in the signal path when the effect is bypassed. This can help drive long cable runs and high-capacitance boards, but the buffer’s input and output loading may also change the feel or frequency response. It is not the same as true bypass. Check the buffer behaviour, output impedance, placement around fuzz and the number of other buffers already in the chain before deciding whether it suits the rig.

EQ

EQ changes the level of selected frequency bands rather than adding one fixed effect. Graphic, parametric and sweepable designs can remove resonances, shape a drive stage or place an instrument more clearly in a mix. Centre frequency, Q, cut and boost range, output headroom and bypass type all matter. EQ before gain changes the frequencies that clip; EQ after gain acts more like finished tone shaping, so placement should follow the problem being solved.

True Bypass

True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.
