In 1951 Leo Fender introduced a prototype solid-body guitar that would eventually be called the Fender Telecaster guitar. The Fender Tele, as it was often called then and still is today, was the first solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar to be commercially mass-produced. As a result of this humble beginning, Fender guitars are one of the most popular brands in the world today.
The Fender Stratocaster first appeared in 1954, and incorporated many design innovations based on feedback from professional musicians, Fender staff and Leo Fender himself. The Strat's third single-coil pickup offered more tonal possibilities than the two on the Tele, and its sleekly contoured body made it more comfortable. The double cutaway design of the Stratocaster made access to upper registers much easier.
Nobody could have foreseen then how the Fender Stratocaster would go on to revolutionize popular music. Essentially unchanged since its 1954 debut, the Strat is the most popular and influential Fender electric guitar ever, and players at all levels and in all genres continue to rely on its sound, playability and versatility to this day.

BOSS FBM-1 Fender Bassman Pedal
Fender amps of the ’50s and ’60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. Thanks to BOSS’ technology and tone know-how, the new BOSS FBM-1 guitar effects pedal brings the natural, fat, rich, bright tone of the Fender Bassman to a BOSS pedal.
In conjunction with Fender, the new BOSS FBM-1 guitar effects pedal recreates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman amplifier. Features include the same controls on the original Bassman: Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls. The FBM-1 also functions perfectly as a “pre-gain pedal” placed before an already overdriven amp to add the tone character of the Bassman.

BOSS DS 1 - Boss DS 1 Distortion
The BOSS DS 1 guitar effects pedal provides a harder distortion effect for guitar and keyboard sounds. Instead of toneless, fuzzy distortion, the DS 1 distortion faithfully reproduces all the subtle nuances of your playing dynamics, from whisper-quiet to screaming loud. The onboard Tone control allows you to tailor the overall sound to your liking.
Beyond standard effects, BOSS is famous for its unique and unusual stomp boxes, such as the SG-1 Slow Gear, VB-2 Vibrato, and, most recently, the SYB-5 analog modeling bass synthesizer pedal. It’s no accident that BOSS has become the world’s leading effects manufacturer. With over eight million pedals sold, BOSS has built its reputation by connecting with the community. They listen and react to what players demand, while also pushing the envelope into new, unexplored realms.
