The Trimode by Radial Engineering is a true bypass, two-channel tube distortion pedal that leverages the harmonics and warmth of a 12AX7 tube to provide you with an incredible variety of American-esque distortion tones. It lets you access great clean, rhythm and lead tones sans tap dancing. Inspired by the legacy of the best American tube amps, the Trimode serves up five generations of tone from the mild overdrive of early rock ’n’ roll to intense power tones of modern high gain amps.

Aguilar’s AGRO is based on the saturation channel of its famed AG 500 bass head. It can produce anything from warm, tube-like overdrive to extreme distortion, delivering the grind you want without sucking out your low end. The AGRO provides various overdriven sounds within a user-friendly, 4-knob layout. It includes CONTOUR control that lets you dial in a scooped or more powerful boosted midrange sound, SATURATION control which introduces a tremendous range of distortion, output LEVEL control to ensure that you get your desired distortion, and PRESENCE knob for adding the perfect amount of “attack.”
Carrying features identical to the TightRock, the darker and fatter FatRock Distortion Pedal is the culmination of insights from players who asked for a variation of TightRock. The FatRock version’s tone was tweaked to extend the Tone and Tight controls’ low range. The EQ switch provides classic vintage stack tones while the Gain Boost switch produces a very modern amount of gain. With both switches turned off, you can use the pedal as a fat overdrive for an already distorted pedal/amp, without drastically altering the character.
The Blackstar LT Dist pedal lets you add some high-gain distortion to your rig. This compact, pedalboard-friendly distortion pedal gives you everything from crystal clean to boost to loud lead tones. It boasts Blackstar’s famous Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) tone-shaping circuit, providing you infinite adjustment over the tone control’s characteristics. The Blackstar LT Dist provides American and British distortion flavors and anything in between. Its control panel consists of ISF, TONE, LEVEL, and GAIN.
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 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.
