Fender has released the Hammertone series of guitar pedals. There are nine pedals in this budget range including: Distortion, Flanger, Overdrive, Metal, Fuzz, Reverb, Chorus, Space Delay and Delay. They are robust with a hammered metal casing and simple controls, making them useful for beginners. The Fuzz, Overdrive, Distortion and Metal pedals also have an internal trim-pot control that allows you to adjust very high frequencies, which are useful for bright amps or single coil pickups. Each one is colour coded and the units are compact (112 × 62 × 56mm), with a top mounted jack input, perfect for use in pedal boards. The range provides a great choice of essential guitar effects at competitive prices. The pedals are powered by nine-volt battery or by AC adaptor, which are not included.
