Fender Hammertone Reverb
Fender · pedal
The Fender Hammertone Reverb is an affordable, compact reverb pedal offering three reverb types, Hall, Room and Plate, each with Time, Level and Damping controls plus a multi-tone selector. Hall ranges from spring-ish ambience to a vast, cavernous space, Plate adds a lush metallic shimmer well suited to arpeggiated melodies, and Room provides fast, subtle reflections that add body to overdriven tones without an overbearing wash. The Damping control focuses and tailors the decay across all modes. Housed in a small true-bypass enclosure with a strong, distinctive personality despite its budget price, it is a versatile, gig-friendly ambient tool for practice, stage and studio across many genres.
