The Fender Hammertone Fuzz is one of the nine new stompboxes in an affordable line of pedals released by the guitar conglomerate in 2022.
This silicon circuit doesn’t seem to be a clone of any of the classic vintage fuzzes, but vintage it sounds, with its classic splattery tone and horn-like sustain.
The three knobs for Fuzz, Tone and Level cover a lot of sonic ground, while the Octave switch takes it into Super Fuzz/Octavia territory.
An internal trim-pot allows you to dial down super-high frequencies to tame single-coil pickups and bright amps or simply shape your tone further.

Despite its small size, this purple-tinged, psychedelic stompbox is feature-packed with three classic controls, two silicon diodes and an octave fuzz mode – allowing you to recreate the legendary sounds of the ‘60s & ‘70s or forge your own unique tone.
