Fender Hammertone Metal Distortion Pedal - Aggressive High Gain Tone

The Fender Hammertone Metal Distortion Pedal delivers aggressive, dynamic high-gain distortion through Fender-designed circuitry engineered for modern metal guitar tones. This pedal addresses the challenge of achieving powerful distortion that maintains clarity and definition in full band mixes, providing chunky high-gain characteristics without the muddy low-end or harsh treble that plague inferior distortion circuits. The aluminum construction ensures durability for regular gigging and practice use while maintaining compact dimensions suitable for crowded pedalboards.

The two-band active EQ system with dedicated bass and treble controls provides comprehensive tone-shaping capabilities, allowing precise adjustment of distortion character to match different guitars, amplifiers, and musical styles. Top-mounted input and output jacks optimize pedalboard real estate by minimizing horizontal footprint, while true bypass switching preserves signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged. Power options include standard nine-volt battery or center-negative AC adapter for flexible setup configurations. The combination of Fender's circuit design expertise, practical control layout, and reliable switching creates a metal distortion solution that integrates seamlessly into existing rigs. Whether driving tube amplifiers into saturation or serving as primary distortion source with solid-state gear, this pedal delivers the aggressive tone and dynamic response that contemporary metal guitar playing demands.
