As a particularly versatile drive pedal, the Fender Hammertone Overdrive offers everything from light blues crunch to full-on distortion. The compact pedal knows how to heat up any amplifier preamp matching and remains transparent and dynamic even at higher gain and level settings. For an extra kick, the Hammertone Overdrive features an additional Pre-Mid Boost knob, which ensures your sound cuts through any mix, giving leads added radiance. For further EQ adjustments, the Tone control acts like a tilt EQ, allowing you to emphasize either the low-mids or high-mids.
