Maxon COMPACT SERIES FEA10

The Behringer HD300 Heavy Distortion guitar effects pedal gives you all the bottom-heavy distortion you could ever need to blaze through the most punishing and aggressive modern heavy metal and hard rock songs in your setlist. Still looking for a more bottom-heavy tone? Turn up the dedicated Bottom dial to high for more impact. Need some extra sustain? Cranking the Gain Boost knob up lets you achieve insanely liquid sustain—perfect for punctuating those epic guitar solos.

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 TightRock Distortion FX Pedal closes the gap between the TightDrive and TightMetal. Its gain range is way higher compared to the TightDrive, and the tone is not as heavy sounding as the TightMetal. The pedal features Gain Boost and EQ switches as well as an inbuilt noise gate which automatically follows the gain control. The mainstay of Amptweaker pedals, Tight control, allows you to get the attack that complements your picking style and guitar.
