Product information

The ’59 Sound is based on the legendary 1959 Tweed Fender Bassman and captures the essence of that magical amplifier.

The ZVEX ’59 Sound is a distortion pedal they’ve designed to emulate the sound of a classic Fender 1959 Tweed Bassman. Use the ’59 Sound with any amp set warm and somewhat clean, and you’ll get a taste of the rich naturally transparent and dynamic distortion tones that make the ’59 Bassman one of the most sought after vintage amps ever built.

The ’59 Sound loves to stack with other distortions, compressors, overdrives and fuzz pedals.

Electric guitars are sonically complex. Different pickup combinations, different woods, different build types are all part of the formula. The ’59 Sound compliments these differences. The dense singing tones of a Les Paul, the twang of a Tele, and the sparkle of a Strat are accentuated, while subtle changes in pick attack and palm muting are preserved.
