The Fender Blender:

Ashbory's bass store says:

 

There are few Fender products with as much "indie cred" as the Fender Blender. Once thought of as an overly harsh fuzz pedal, the Blender, thanks to players like Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, is now a coveted, and rare, vintage pedal. Original Blender pedals routinely sell on ebay for between $300-400. Like we have done with guitars & amps, we are reissuing this pedal to satisfy the demand that has surged past the supply on the vintage market.

 

 

So? What is it? And is it any good? And is it any good for bass?

Unfortunately I have never used that thing. For a while I was interested in it because I knew Corgan used it. But then I got the Creamy Dreamer. There is a song that the pumpkins did live back in the day called Slunk and I think Billy was using the Fender Blender. It sounded very raunchy and tasteless. Almost sounded like too much fuzz to handle. But who knows what other settings sound like on it.
