Fender has announced two more additions to its celebrated Hammertone pedal range – and has introduced “an ultra-precise strobe tuner” that looks to take on the likes of TC Electronic, Boss and Peterson to be the guitar tuner to beat. After Fender entered the wireless guitar system market last year with the compact Telepath, the firm has now turned its attention to the tuner pedal game. At $99, the Strobo-Sonic Pro looks a shrewd release and a worthy addition to the tuner pedal market, which is largely dominated by the TC Electronic Polytune, Boss TU-3, and Peterson StroboStomp. The Hammertone Breakup Drive promises “responsive, tube-like overdrive tones” via a compact three-dial, three-switch design built around a JFET-type circuit. Like other classic ODs, the Breakup Drive keeps things simple with controls for Drive, Tone, and Level but gets interesting with its two mini switches.
