What You Need To Know

1 Hammertone? What’s that?

It’s a new range of pedals from Fender. The name probably comes from the textural paint finish, but the idea is for pedals that are affordable and easy to use.

2 Nothing too complex, then?

No. Fender’s rule for these was a WYSIWYG interface with a maximum of four knobs and two toggle switches, no hidden functions and no displays.

3 Is it a complete range?

We don’t know if there are more in the pipeline, but there’s already plenty here to create a variety of complete pedalboards: four dirt pedals, two modulation pedals, two delays and a reverb.

Fender got itself back into the pedal market in a big way
