Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Overdrives mit zwei Fußschaltern und Boost verfügt der TightDrive Pro über zwei Boost-Regler, einen vor und einen nach der Verzerrung, sodass es einfach ist, Gain und Lautstärke für den perfekten Solo Tone anzupassen. Es gibt auch einen Midboost-Schalter, der gemeinsam mit dem Boost-Regler arbeitet, um Solos dabei zu helfen, sich durch den Mix zu schneiden. Der TightDrive Pro verfügt über einen Smooth Edge-Schalter, der den High-End-Sizzle cuttet und für einen wärmeren Sound sorgt oder umso mehr Klarheit in den Sound bringt. Der integrierte 3-Band-EQ ermöglicht viele tonale Variationen und seiner PlexEQ-schalter bietet traditionelleren Stack-Tones. Für den TightDrive Pro wurde ein neues "cleaneres" Noise Gate entwickelt, das dafür ausgelegt ist, die Geräuschentwicklung zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig cleanere Sounds ermöglicht. 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 aktiv ist, wenn das Pedal in Bypass geschaltet wird, wenn das Pedal ausgeschaltet ist .... quasi ist wie eine eingebaute A / B Box.

Unlike most 2-button overdrive pedals with boost, the TightDrive 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. The TightDrive Pro has a Smooth Edge switch which cuts the high end sizzle for a warmer edge or adds clarity when it's OFF, depending on your perspective. The added three band EQ allows for much tonal variation, with its PlexEQ button for more traditional stack tone. A new 'cleaner' noise gate was developed for the TightDrive Pro, which is designed to reduce noise while maintaining the cleaner tones it's capable of. 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.

Amptweaker: TightDrive Pro Overdrive

Manual

TightDrive Pro

Designed by iconic high-gain amp guru James Brown, the Tight Drive redefines the boundaries of the standard “overdrive” with enhanced tone sculpting and advanced tone stacks. The Tight Drive provides everything from a nuanced push to the front end of the amp all the way to heavy overdrive/distortion and all points in between. Exceptionally responsive and detailed, the Tight Drive comes with a built-in noise gate, three-way tone stack and controls for volume, tone, and gain.

Perfect in both size and function, the Tight Drive is a welcome addition to any pedalboard.

Amptweaker TightDrive

Tight Drive

James Brown (no, not the Godfather of Soul), the ingenious amp tinkerer, has grabbed the good old Fuzz pedal and combined vintage sound with contemporary technology. As usual with Amptweaker, the Tightfuzz pedal offers a wide range of control options, which make the pedal incredibly flexible. Fuzzpedals often have problems with modern, buffered effect pedals. Vintage fuzz pedals are tuned to the high impedance of a guitar pickup and sound very strange with low impedance signals. Amptweaker has solved the problem by developing a special buffer circuit, which simulates a guitar pickup and is connected to the fuzz circuit. Unusually also the Fuzz Pot: both Fuzz intensity as well as the BIAS of the transistors is simultaneously influenced. The Tightfuzz can easily be integrated into modern pedalboards and delivers a variety of convincing sounds.

TightFuzz

Das TightMetal ST Distortion-Pedal nimmt das beliebte Amptweaker TightMetal mit seinen Over-the-Top-Metal und Hardcore-Crunch-Tones und fügt den beliebten SideTrak -Effekt-Loop hinzu. Dies ist eine Sekundärschleife, die nur funktioniert, wenn TightMetal ST ausgeschaltet ist. Es gibt auch einen zusätzlichen High / Low-Gain-Schalter, um moderne oder Vintage-Metall-Töne zu wählen. Ursprünglich mit Mark Kloeppel, dem Gitarristen der Death Grind-Band Misery Index, entwickelt, enthält er ein eingebautes Noise Gate mit einer "Chomp" -Einstellung für extrem tighte Stopps. Genauso wie High Gain Röhrenamps mit kaskadierenden Gainstufen designt sind, wurder der TightMeta entwickelt. Seine hinzugefügte Gainstufe führt zu noch dichterer, heavier Distortion. Der integrierte SideTrak Effektloop, wird aktiv, wenn das Pedal im Bypass ist ... quasi wie eine eingebaute A / B-Box.

The TightMetal ST distortion pedal takes the popular TightMetal pedal with its over-the-top metal and hardcore crunch tones, and adds the popular SideTrak effects loop. This is a secondary loop that only works when the TightMetal ST is OFF. There's also an added High/Low gain switch to select modern or vintage metal tones. Originally designed with Mark Kloeppel, guitarist of the deathgrind band Misery Index it includes a built-in noise gate with a 'Chomp' setting for extremely tight stops. In the same way high gain tube amps are designed by cascading extra tube stages, the TightMetal was created by adding additional stages resulting in thicker and much heavier distortion. The proprietary SideTrak effects loop turns ON when the pedal is OFF: it's like having a built-in A/B box.

Tight Metal ST

Designed by iconic high-gain amp guru James Brown, the Fat Metal Pro II redefines rock/metal tone and the emergence of 7 and 8 string players that need more pronounced and controlled low end. More “chunk” and more “chug”-in a word, MORE!!!

Perfect for live and studio, the Fat Metal Pro II has included a balanced DI, cab sim and headphone output in addition to three separate loops for multiple processing and switching combinations.
