Whether this was an actual takeoff of the term “fender bender” or not depends on who you talk to, but the truth will probably remain a mystery. What we do know is that this was one of Fender’s longest-lived floor pedals. Built from 1968 to 1977, the Blender had an on/off switch that activated volume, sustain, tone, and blend controls. A separate switch activated what Fender called a “Tone Boost.”
