Amptweaker’s TightMetal JR ranges from FatMetal to TightMetal tones and features a Tight attack switch and noise gate. With the crazy output level available through the Volume knob, Tight settings (Fat/Flat/Tight), EQ voicings (Thrash/Flat/Smooth), and punchy midrange you can cut or boost using the Tone control, you can virtually run a tone party from Black Sabbath to Avenged Sevenfold to Kyuss and so on. The TightMetal JR is worth exploring as each twist and turn could create new vistas of snarl, growl or singing sustain.

The Amptweaker TightMetal ST Distortion Pedal takes the famed TightMetal pedal with its aggressive metal and hardcore crunch tones and incorporates Amptweaker’s proprietary SideTrak effects loop, which works only when the pedal is off. The loop lets you alternate clean effects, or a different distortion pedal, with one stomp, eradicating the stomp-box tap-dance. The TightMetal ST boasts a High/Low gain switch to choose vintage or modern metal tones. It also features a Thrash EQ switch for a deeper mid-scoop and inbuilt noise gate for extremely tight stops.

The Amptweaker TightMetal Pro Distortion Effect Pedal is the dual-pedal version of the well-loved TightMetal. Since the TightMetal’s introduction in 2011, Amptweaker customers have requested for a two button variant. Amptweaker surveyed some users who were not pleased with the TightMetal to determine the necessary tone changes. The TightMetal Pro features a Midboost button, two Fat switches, and two Boost knobs. Other features include an adjustable internal input noise gate for more gating, High Gain switch for heavier tones, and Gain, Tight, and Volume controls.
