Amptweaker TightRock JR Rock Distortion Pedal

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!
