DISTORTION: ....METAL DISTORTION at it's best for the least !!!

AMPTWEAKER

Jame Brown spent years and years either hot rodding or designing and building amps.
.......does the 5150 sound familiar,



Working for Peavey... EVH and countless others, The ultimate Metal amp ...was born.
the 5150 !!!
One day he decided he could do the same for pedals as he had accomplished with amps so out of this Amptweaker was created..


AMPTWEAKER TIGHT METAL PRO


Nothing has been overlooked on this pedal...it even has 3 effects loops and a noise gate...it is built like a tank. Even as complex as it is...all the functions are intuitive and easy to use.


Current Price $320.00 USD

.
..check out the vids...it is much easier to get an overview of the multitude of functions and how to use them when you can see the pedal having each knob and switch moved and tweaked.It would be a bit of a challenge to only be able to read about the functions.


So...interesting at the very least....yes?
Or even mind blowing.
If you still think you have heard better...Try Putting anything else beside this pedal you will find that this pedal is noticeable fatter...much fatter. If it isn't...they make the
Fat Metal Pro model of this pedal...lol




They make the ST a smaller version but it makes some compromises.

NICE PEDALS


Wow...but the price!!!!!   DOUBLE AND and triple f@cking  OUCH !!!


to the rescue............ 

AMPTWEAKER TIGHT METAL JR


Can Amptweaker make an even smaller cheaper version with nothing important missing? 

Functions on the pro that would be accessed by a knob or normally could be be abandoned have been dialed into their sweet spot and put on a small switch. This has been done very,very well..I have the Big Rock Pro and the Plexi switch nails it. ....Yes....They made changes without compromises.

Why not let the man himself explain.


.
Even if you do not play metal this little wonder is a dream. Sometimes a solo really needs some meat on the bones. Or...I use a few Fuzz boxes which sound great on some tunes but that can get tiresome and a huge Metal sound gives me effective second  choice. I love it for that
.
If a modern metal sound isn't your thing just click on the 'Fat' switch and you get a classic  80's JCM 800 sound when it was being slammed by a Boss DS-1. The sound was so popular it was on countless records. New players listening to those records at the time thought it was just the Marshall putting out this sound.Oops! lol
Still a sound used by many players in many styles. If it ain't broke...don't fix it!


The width is 2.7 inches.
So it fits nicely on a crowed board.



Current Price $160.00 USD

...a very nice discount considering it has the same sound as the Pro



I hope you checked out the video...from 'THAT PEDAL SHOW' with an excellent player Rabea Massaad comparing some of the best METAL pedals. Note it was the Amptweaker that was his top choice.
...and since the 'Junior' has the same sound....mmmm

Well I found it convincing ...My 'junior' pedal is on it's way.


THE REASON WHY AMPTWEAKER PRODUCTS ARE SO DAMN GOOD IS THAT IT RIDICULOUSLY EASY FOR A GUY LIKE ME OR YOU TO WRITE TO MR. BROWN AND SUGGEST CHANGES IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW PEDALS.

 HE LISTENS !!!


THE VERY BEST THING ABOUT AMPTWEAKER DISTORTIONS IS THAT THEY SOUND AMAZING EVEN IF YOUR GUITAR AND AMP HAVE CHALLENGING LIMITATIONS.....or are crap  LOL

...after hearing how good the JR. pedals sound ....if I new this before ...I would not have got the 
Big Rock Pro. 

The fat switch on the Jr. gives you a very convincing 80's Marshall JCM 800 Brown sound.  It is impossible not to love the versatility of this pedal. I feel the "tight' switch ties up a modern metal sound in a bow. But of equal quality is the JMC 800 Brown sound. It makes me feel that I have scored two super quality pedals in just one tiny box. A real keeper!!!
