Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Distortion-Pedalen mit Boost verfügt das TightMetal Pro über 2 Boost-Regler, einen vor und einen nach der Verzerrung. So ist es einfach, Gain und Lautstärke für den perfekten Solo- Ton anzupassen. Es gibt auch einen Midboost-Schalter, der zusammen mit dem Ausgangs-Boost-Regler arbeitet, um Solos dabei zu helfen, den Mix zu durchschneiden. Um alle möglichen Metal Sounds zu beherrschen, wurde der Smooth Edge-Schalter entwickelt, der den High-End-Sizzle für einen wärmeren Sound cuttet. Die zwei 2 Fat-Schalter ermöglichen entweder den normalen oder Boosted-Tone einen für fetteres Attack und etwas mehr Kompression. Es gibt auch einen High-Gain-Schalter, um zwischen Vintage-Metal und heavier Modern Metal-Gain zu wählen. Der integrierte 3-Band-EQ ermöglicht ein breites tonales Spektrum und mit deinem Thrash-Schalter auch traditionellere gescoopte Mitten. Das Amptweaker Custom Noise-Gate mit der Hard-Stop-Chomp-Einstellung hilft dabei, den Rhythmus so tight wie möglich zu halten, besonders wenn es um schnelle Palm-Muting Riffs geht. Interne Regler ermöglichen das flexible anpassen des Gates. Amptweaker-Pedale sind für Effekt-Loops bekannt, und dieses hat gleich 3: einen Universal-Loop, einen der zusammen mit dem Boost aktiv ist und den beliebten SideTrak-Loop, der aktiviert wird, wenn das Pedal im Bypass ist  quasi wie eine eingebaute A / B-Box.

Unlike most distortion pedals with boost, the TightMetal Pro includes 2 Boost knobs, one before and one after the distortion.so it's easy to boost the gain AND volume, for the perfect solo tone. There's also a Midboost button that works with the output Boost knob, to help solos cut through the mix. To reign in those other metal tones the Smooth Edge switch was developed which cuts the high end sizzle for a warmer edge, and 2 Fat switches allow either the normal or Boosted tones to have a thicker attack with a bit more compression. There's also a High Gain switch to select between vintage sounding metal and heavier modern metal gain. The added three band EQ allows for much tonal variation, with its Thrash button for more traditional deeper scooped mids. The Amptweaker custom noise gate with the hard stopping Chomp setting to helps keeping the rhythm as tight as possible...especially when doing very quick riffs with a lot of palm-muted stops. Internal adjustments allow for tweaking the gate. Amptweaker pedals are known for effects loops, and this one has 3: a universal loop, another active with the boost, and our popular SideTrak loop which activates when the pedal is OFF ...it's like having a built-in A/B box.

TightMetal Pro 

Das dichtere, dunklere FatMetal-Distortion arbeitet perfekt direkt in den Clean Kanal eines Amps oder als Vorverstärker direkt in die Endstufe. Es ist für Gitarristen gedacht, die eine wärmere Distortion suchen, die besser zu hell klingenden Gitarren und Verstärkern passt, weniger auf Palm-Muting abzielt aber trotzdem gut mit Tremolo-Picking ala Black Metal funktioniert. Was die Features angeht ist es identisch mit dem TightMetal, aber der Sound wurde optimiert, um den niedrigeren Frequenzbereich Bereich von Tight- und Tone-Regler zu erweitern. Der hinzugefügte Black Gain-Schalter erhöht den Gain, um den dicken, satten Gain zu liefern, nach dem diese Genres verlangen. Der Thrash-Schalter wandelt den Grundton in einen schwereren, mid-scooped Tone um, der sich perfekt für klassische Vintage-Metal-Sounds eignet. Black Gain modifiziert den Klang in einen sehr dichten und extremen Metal Tone. Das Noise Gate wurde ebenfalls optimiert, um es flüssiger arbeiten zu lassen und mit den reduzierten Höhen des FatMetals noch besser zu klingen. Eine weitere coole Amptweaker-Funktion dieses Pedals ist der SideTrak -Effekt-Loop der aktiviert wird, wenn das Pedal im Bypass ist quasi wie eine integrierte A / B-Box.

The thicker, darker FatMetal distortion works perfectly into a clean channel or as a preamp into an effects return or power amp. It is designed for players who want a warmer distortion that workes better with brighter guitars and amps, but also is less aimed at palm-muted metal, and works better for tremolo-picking Black metal. Featurewise it is identical to the TightMetal but its tone has been tweaked to extend the low range of the Tight and Tone controls. The added Black Gain switch boosts the gain to get the thicker, buzzier gain required for those genres. The Thrash switch converts the basic tone into a heavier, more mid-scooped tone for classic vintage metal tones. Black Gain modifies the sound into a very thick and extreme metal tone that. Its noise gate has also been retweaked to make it smoother, and to sound even better with the reduced highs of the FatMetal. Another cool Amptweaker feature on this pedal is the SideTrak effects loop.that turns on when the pedal is being bypassed ...it's like having a built-in A/B box.

Amp Tweaker are renowned for their brilliant drive pedals. Establishing this reputation is not easy in such a competitive market, and to stay ahead of the game they have introduced a raft of Jr. pedals. Boasting the same amazing tones that we love about Amp Tweaker, these pedals are in a smaller, more pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
All the Essentials:
The Tight Fuzz Jr. takes the essential features of its larger counterparts, ensuring that no tone is sacrificed. The Tight/Normal/Fat switch lets you adjust the attack and response of the fuzz. If you want a thick and heavy fuzz tone then the Fat mode will provide, whereas the Normal mode delivers a full-bodied, chunky sound with plenty of character. Switch to the Tight setting to shelve some low-end, giving you a more aggressive tone that will cut through in busy mixes with a crisp bite.
As Versatile As You’d Ever Want:
A 60’s/70’s/Now switch gves you further tonal options. You can go from a classic Hendrix-style fuzz bark, to a more modern and saturated tone that works as well for rhythm tones as it does for leads. Essentially an EQ switch, you can also adjust your sound using the conventional Tone control, allowing you to brighten the fuzz the higher you crank it up!
A Germanium/Silicon switch gives you the best of both worlds. Often argued by Fuzz junkies, changing these output transistors lets you affect the warmth and top-end of the fuzz, meaning you will have no problem “tweaking” the pedal for the perfect fuzz sound. See what I did there?
Here's what Amp Tweaker say about the Tight Fuzz Jr. Pedal:
With the popularity of Amptweaker's smaller footprint JR series, we're now adding bass and guitar versions of our Fuzz pedals....introducing TightFuzz JR?, Bass TightFuzz JR?, BluesFuzz JR?, and Bass BluesFuzz Jr?. These pedals share most of the tone-tweaking features available on their larger counterparts, while eliminating effects loops, lit controls, battery switches and boost features that some players don’t need in order to shrink down the size and weight.
Derived from our Pro series, the Tight control and Fat switches were re-configured into a 3-position Fat/Normal/Tight switch to dial in the attack of the notes from thick and heavy to aggressive and chunky. On the TightFuzz models, an EQ switch provides 60's, 70's, or 'Now' tones, and there's also a Germanium/Silicon switch to change the output transistor for warmer or brighter/high gain distortion. The same automatically adjusted bias on the Fuzz controls keeps the sweet spot at hand, and is especially nice for cleaner tones. And of course the popular Dry Low control is included on the Bass TightFuzz JR.

FatMetal Pro II

Der Bass TightDrive war das erste Amptweaker Bass-Produkt und stellte den beliebten Tight Attack Regler vor. Das Bass TightDrive Overdrive Pedal entstand, nachdem Greg Weeks von The Red Chord die "Gitarren" Version auf der NAMM Show ausprobiert hatte. Diese hatte ihm so gut gefallen, dass schon nach ein paar kleinen Optimierungen die finale Bassversion fertig war. Sie ist perfekt, um den Klang deines Bassamps zu optimieren, vom Straffen des Attacks bis hin zum Aufbau einer dichten Wand aus Overdrive für pick-lastige Metal-Basslinien. Andere berühmte Liebhaber dieses Pedals beinhalten dUg Pinnick von King's X und Sean Frankhouser den Bassisten von Bugs Henderson.

The Bass TightDrive was the first Amptweaker bass product, and introduced the popular Tight attack control. The Bass TightDrive overdrive pedal came about after Greg Weeks from The Red Chord tried out the 'guitar' version at the NAMM show. He really liked it, and after some tweaks, this final fine-tuned Bass version is now ready for the public. It's perfect for tweaking your bass amp's tone, anything from tightening up the attack a little to building a thick distortion for pick-driven metal bass lines.In addition to Greg, other artists using the Bass TightDrive include dUg Pinnick of King's X, and Sean Frankhouser, bassist with Bugs Henderson.
