Fender HAMMERTONE Effects

Double Keyboard Stands by Hercules Crest Edition MKII Wireless Headphones by Orange Amps

Fender is aiming for your basic pedal needs with their new HAMMERTONE effects . The sound options include five digital effects ( Reverb , Flanger , Chorus , Delay and Space Delay ) and four analog pedals ( Overdrive , Distortion , Metal and Fuzz ). The pedal size and build on the HAMMERTONE effects are top notch and they can be powered by DC power plugs or 9-volt batteries . All the effects have true bypass switching and simple top mount knobs for easy adjustments on the fly .

My favorites of the Fender HAMMERTONE pedals were the Reverb ( sounds like a Fender amp ), Overdrive ( yep sounds like an overdriven Fender tube amp ) and the Chorus ( reminds me of the Fender acoustic amps ). All the effects sounded great , but these three would be the foundation for a Praise Team board and probably the Delay also for more contemporary songs . The HAMMERTONE analog pedals all sell for $ 79.99 each and the digital modulation effects come in at $ 99.99 . Considering the sound and build quality the HAMMERTONE effects won ’ t break the bank , but they will sweeten your tone on a budget ! Fender really delivered with this pedal line ! www . fender . com
