I sent an email to fender's site..
No, I can't tell anything about the type of compressor.. I've no info, sorry.
For what concern indicator for gain reduction: yes, in the compressor there's a beeping light.
I've found this interesting review.. Take a look:
Fender Downtown Express Review
Fender's reply about eq knobs frequency:
BASS; +/- 17 dB @ 35 Hz. This is a shelving EQ , not a peaking equalizer, so 35 Hz indicates where the boost is highest.
MIDDLE: +/- 19 dB @ 500 Hz. This is an RLC resonant equalizer, so there is a peak at that frequency. The inductor in the circuit...
I think it's a good product.. I played a gig and the Overdrive seems to work well even with my doublebass(oh yeah). The switches can work independently and, compared with other similar units, I think it gives you more advantages.
Hi everybody,
I love music and I love playing bass, doesn't matter if it's an acoustic or electric.. Just gimme that low ends and I'm happy ;) and I'm glad to share this passion with other people..
Nice to meet you..
