'59 Sound
The ZVEX '59 Sound is a captivating amp simulation pedal that transports you back to the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Inspired by the legendary 1959 Fender Bassman amplifier, this pedal captures the raw, dynamic essence of that iconic tone. What made the '59 Bassman so special? Its unique circuitry and transformers produced a thick, harmonically rich distortion that became the foundation for the classic British rock sound. Legendary artists like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Pete Townshend famously used modded Bassman amps to achieve their signature tones. The ZVEX '59 Sound aims to bottle that magic, allowing you to explore a wide range of textures and tones with just the turn of a few knobs. The pedal's responsive controls let you dial in the perfect balance of grit, warmth, and presence, from smooth, singing lead lines to aggressive, snarling rhythm tones. What sets the '59 Sound apart is its uncanny ability to react to your guitar's volume and pick attack, just like a real tube amp. Roll back the volume for a cleaner sound, then crank it up to unleash a glorious cascade of harmonics and compression. Whether you're a vintage tone aficionado or simply seeking to add some classic character to your rig, the ZVEX '59 Sound is a must-try pedal. It's a direct line to the golden era of rock, allowing you to channel the spirit of those legendary players and rigs.
