TightMetal Jr

DISTORTION

NOISE GATE

The Bass TightMetal Jr is a bass version of Amptweaker's popular TightMetal Jr, and includes the Dry Low MOD knob on the side. This blend adds in clean lowend to the tone, helping to maintain the bottom without adding weird phase-shifty tones to the distorted highend. Derived from the 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 Thrash/Normal/Smooth tone settings, which helps the pedal cover a broad range of applications and work with various rigs. 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! The Tight switch and Tone control were tweaked to operate at lower frequencies, making them perfect for bass OR lower tuned guitars such as 7 or 8-strings.
