Amptweaker FatMetal – Metal Distortion

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.
