Developed with heavier guitar tones in mind and in conjunction with Mark Kloeppel, AmpTweaker produced the TightMetal and created a pedal that gets those hard to find high gain and over the top distortion sounds without giving up anything. Like a lot of players lookinf for a heavier sound, Mark was looking for a particular guitar tone, one with a lot of harmonics, but with the ability to stop the notes really fast to work with their music. As on the original TightDrive, the Tight control varies the low end from smooth and thick to tight and aggressive so you get the attack that works with your guitar and picking style. In the same way high gain tube amps are designed by cascading extra tube stages, the TightMetal was created by adding additional stages in front of a carefully modified TightDrive. The resulting thicker and much heavier distortion is tweaked by a simple built-in output EQ curve, and can further be adjusted by the output Tone control, so it’s easy to get a stack sound even through a small combo amp’s clean channel. To help shape the sound of the TightMetal even further, a Mid switch helps add a more traditional metal rhythm sound with its Thrash setting which gives a deeper scooped mid tone. To help stop the notes even quicker, a Noise Gate switch with an ultra quiet, quick decaying Chomp setting gives you the ability to stop a note dead in its tracks! Perfect for playing very quick riffs with a lot of palm-muted stops making the whole band sound even tighter.Like all AmpTweaker pedals the TightMetal includes the Effects Loop with its Pre/Post switch, the LED illumination of the controls, and the Battery On/Off switch and magnetic battery access door.
