Das BluesFuzz Jr Fuzz Pedal basiert auf dem BluesFuzz Limited, einem begehrten auf 49-Stück limitierten Modell, das einen Germanium-Transistor mit niedrigem Gain mit Boost-, Mid-EQ- und Tight-Attack-Schalter besaß. Es verfügt über die meisten der Optionen, auf seinem großen Bruder zu finden sind, wobei einige Features, die viele Gitarristen nicht benötigen eingespart wurden, um Größe und Gewicht zu reduzieren. Abgeleitet von der Pro-Serie wurden Tight-Regler und Fat-Schalter in einen 3-Positionen-Fat / Normal / Tight-Schalter umkonfiguriert, um das Attack von dick und heavy zu aggressiv und clunky zu verändern. Da dieses Modell verfügt über einen Germanium-Transistor mit geringem Gain und einen Input Boost um dichtere Fuzz Sounds zu erhalten. Und um die wichtigen Mitten hinzu zu blenden, gibt es einen Mid-Regler, wie beim Original-BluesFuzz. Die geniale automatische Bias Anpassung des Fuzz-Reglers sorgt dafür, dass der Sweet Spot immer griffbereit ist und macht, dass sich das Blues Fuzz Jr besonders gut für cleane Sounds eignet.

The BluesFuzz Jr fuzz pedal is based on the BluesFuzz Limited, a sought-after 49 piece model that used a low gain germanium transistor with boost, mid EQ, and Tight attack switch. It shares most of the tone-tweaking features available on its larger counterpart, while eliminating some features most players don't need in order to shrink down the size and weight. 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. Since this model uses a low gain germanium transistor, an input boost is included to give thicker fuzz tones. And to help dial in the all-important mid frequencies, there's a Mid control that matches the tone of the original BluesFuzz when set in the middle. The ingenious automatically adjusting bias on the Fuzz controls keeps the sweet spot at hand, and is especially nice for cleaner tones.

BluesFuzz Jr

	
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.

Bass TightFuzz Jr

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 

Mit immer kleiner werdenden Pedalboards und Pedalen wird die Nachfrage nach Versionen beliebter Pedale mit kleinerem Fußabdruck immer größer. Der TightRock Jr. verfügt über die meisten Funktionen seines großen Bruders und verwendet die gleiche Schaltung, Es wurden jedoch einige Features weggelassen, die viele Gitarristen nicht benötigen, um Größe und Gewicht zu reduzieren. Dieses Pedal kann sogar als Vorverstärker direkt in den Effekt-Return- oder Endstufen-Eingang von Verstärkers verwendet werden. Abgeleitet von der Pro-Serie wurden die Tight-Regler und Fat-Schalter in einen 3-Wege Fat / Normal / Tight-Schalter umkonfiguriert, um das Attack von on dick und heavy zu aggressiv und clunky zu verändern. Ein EQ-Schalter bietet Plexi / Normal / Smooth-Klangeinstellungen, die dazu beitragen, dass der TightRock Jr. Großteil der Bandbreite seines Pro-Series Bruders abdeckt. Das einstellbare Noise Gate, gibt dir die Möglichkeit Noten schnell und hart abzustoppen kann. Und das Tolle an einem eingebauten Noise Gate ist, dass es verschwindet, wenn Sie das Pedal im Bypass ist ... damit dein Clean Tone nicht beeinträchtigt wird!

With ever-shrinking pedalboard real estate, a recent common theme are smaller footprint versions of popular pedals. The TightRock Jr. shares most of the features of its larger counterpart, and uses the same circuitry, while eliminating some features most players don't need in order to shrink down the size and weight. This pedal can even be used as a preamp, by running the output straight into the amp's effects return or power amp input. 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 Plexi/Normal/Smooth tone settings, which helps the pedals cover much of the range of its Pro parents. The manually-adjustable Noise Gate 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!

Tight Rock Jr

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.
