I used to own the original Fender Blender (not the reissue) but i got offered an insane amount of money for it so i sold it, two years later the reissue was released and i bought one, what is the difference?
Well, my old one buzzed and hissed but otherwise sounded exactly the same, the reissue does everything the old one did but is a little bit cleaner sonically.
I dont use this device very often but when i need something to sound like its out of order this is the first device i think of to accomplish that sound, it will make guitars shriek and keyboards sound like they are in a lot of pain, this device is capable of doing more polite things, its a distortion box and can do the Black Sabbath kind of fuzz at lower settings but the octave / ring modulated boost is where the fun is at and for that you want everything on 10, this is a truly nasty device, use at your own risk.

Pros
The ultimate in opinion-polarising sonic nastiness… in a good way!
Cons
Seems a tad expensive, no LEDs
The bottom line
We’re not talking about tonal purity here but raucous noise, so if that’s your bag, give the Blender a spin.
