TightDrive Jr

OVERDRIVE

NOISE GATE

The TightDrive Jr ranges from clean boost to moderately high gain, includes a noise gate and a Tight attack switch. With ever-shrinking pedalboard real estate, a common request to Amptweaker has been for smaller footprint versions of our popular distortion pedals...introducing the Amptweaker TightDrive Jr. This pedal shares most of the tone-tweaking features available on the larger TightDrives, and uses the same circuitry, some features, most 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. An EQ switch similarly provides Plexi/Normal/Smooth tone settings, which helps the pedals cover much of the range of both its bigger Pro-Series brothers. In addition to Gain, Tone and Volume knobs, there's also a manually-adjustable Noise Gate which can be cranked to stop notes hard and fast. And the great thing about a built-in noise gate is that it goes away when you turn the pedal off...so your clean tone is unaffected!
