Amptweaker TightMetal Pro – Pro Series Metal Distortion / Boost

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.
