FENDER HAMMERTONE OVERDRIVE Pedal for Electric Guitar

Fender Hammertone Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

The Fender Hammertone Overdrive is a compact analog effect that adds warmth, character, and that coveted "tube-like" crunch to your guitar sound. Unlike aggressive distortion pedals, this Overdrive operates dynamically: it preserves your instrument's natural timbre and responds to your picking attack. It's an ideal choice for warming up a clean channel or making an already loud amplifier sound even more powerful.

The pedal features a distinctive mid-range boost before the signal distortion (pre-gain mid boost). This means your guitar won't get lost in the mix and will be clearly heard when playing with a band. Additionally, inside the pedal, you'll find a hidden control (Tone Trim-Pot) that allows you to "tame" excessively high frequencies if your amplifier sounds too harsh.

Key Features
