Fender has delved into pedals before, however it's fair to say that they've never really caught on with the mainstream guitar market. That is until now...

With their new range, Fender aims to give you great tones at an affordable price, from a brand that you know and can trust. All of their pedals can be mains or battery-powered, and are sized to fit onto your pedalboard with ease – no awkward pedal shapes here!

Featuring durable enclosures too, these robust stompboxes will be bulletproof if you intend to use them live night-after-night. Let's break down what these stylish pedals do:

Winter NAMM Releases

  • Level Set Buffer - Even out your signal with this dynamic buffer, complete with tuner out and all-original circuitry.
  • The Bends Compressor - Add some crucial dynamics into your chain with this beautifully transparent, intuitive compressor.
  • Pugilist Distortion - Heavyweight distortion powered by dual gain engines - stack them for maximum impact!
  • Santa Ana Overdrive - Inspired by the classic Fender tones, this FET-powered stompbox goes from 0 to saturated sizzle!
  • Mirror Image Delay - An all-encompassing delay toolkit, with digital, analog and tape modes, and comprehensive time controls.
  • Marine Layer Reverb - A deceptively simple interface conceals every reverb sound you'll ever need!

Summer NAMM Releases
