Fender 800 copedent

Postby elparkirio » Fri May 12, 2017 11:06 am

I've been asked to set up a Fender 800. Any idea what the 'other' pedals should do??

Thanks in advance

I've done it. Went for standard A B C pedals then as follows

D lowers E's
E lowers 6 a tone and raises 1 a tone
F raises 2 a semitone and 7 a semitone

Probably not right but it seemed reasonably logical to me. Not a bad little mech system on these old fenders, quite a lot of it i really liked.

Looks in great condition. I once did a gig with a Fender 400, 8 strings and 4 pedals, my brain was fried, still is. love the sound of the old Fender. As JD would Give us a toon. Donny.

I've cleaned her up but yeah she is in good nick. Very playable, if money was no object I'd probably get one.
