“The essential building blocks of any ‘board”: Fender adds vintage analogue heat to the Hammertone pedal lineup with the Breakup Drive and Boost, both with switchable modes and a budget-friendly $99 price tag

Fender has added a pair of bona-fide firecrackers to its $99 Hammertone guitar effects pedal lineup, both of which will give the front end of your guitar amp something serious to think about.

For all your low to mid-gain overdrive pedal needs, there is the Breakup Drive, which is named for its amp-style drive but we would like to think it is the kind of pedal you would keep on when getting over a breakup. It would certainly work gangbusters if you’ve got the blues. More on its capabilities shortly.
