The Bends V2 Compressor is a professional analog compressor and boost pedal designed for both guitar and bass. It delivers smooth, low-noise compression that naturally balances your playing dynamics while adding sustain, clarity, and note thickness. Featuring selectable modern and vintage compression voicings, an independent ultra-clean boost, active tone shaping, and blend control, it offers exceptional tonal flexibility for studio and live performance. Advanced features, including switchable true or buffered bypass, multiswitch footswitch support, and configurable boost placement, make it an ideal choice for musicians seeking transparent compression with powerful sound customization.
Low-Noise Analog Compression
The OTA-based analog compression circuit provides smooth, natural compression with minimal noise while preserving your instrument's dynamics.
Vintage Compression Mode
A rear-mounted Vintage switch changes the compression character from clean and modern to warm, tube-inspired compression with subtle saturation.
Blend Control
Mixes the clean signal with the compressed signal, preserving natural attack and playing feel while maintaining balanced output.
Independent Ultra-Clean Boost
A separate clean boost circuit can be activated independently to increase the signal level without altering your core tone.
Comp Pre/Post Switching
Allows the boost to be placed before the compressor for increased sustain or after the compressor for a clean solo volume boost.
Three-Speed Attack Switch
Choose from three attack settings to optimize the compressor's response for different playing styles and instruments.
Release Control
Adjusts how quickly the compressor releases after reducing peaks, allowing precise control over sustain and responsiveness.
Input Control
Sets the input sensitivity to determine how strongly the compressor reacts to your playing dynamics.
Active Tone Control
Boosts or cuts treble frequencies to restore brightness or fine-tune the overall tone after compression.
Multiswitch Footswitch Support
Supports both latching (tap) and momentary (press-and-hold) footswitch operation for versatile performance control.
Switchable True or Buffered Bypass
Choose true bypass for maximum signal purity or buffered bypass to maintain signal strength over long cable runs.
Relay-Based Auto Bypass
Automatically switches to bypass mode if power is lost, ensuring uninterrupted signal flow.
Top-Mounted Jacks
Top-mounted input and output jacks maximize pedalboard space and simplify cable routing.
Road-Ready Aluminum Enclosure
Durable aluminum construction provides reliable protection for frequent touring and stage use.
9V Power Operation
Powered by a standard 9V center-negative AC adapter (not included).
