Amptweaker / FatRock

Thick, solid distortion that pairs perfectly with single coils

This is a version of the TightRock with a warmer sound, especially suited to bright guitars and amps, such as Stratocasters and twin amps.
The basic functions are the same as the TightRock, making it a very multifunctional pedal. It has a Fat Boost sound, with the low range of the Tight and Tone controls expanded, the attack and edge slightly suppressed, and the low end of the output EQ boosted.

Like the TightRock, the FatRock is equipped with an effect loop that is linked to the ON/OFF of the pedal, as well as Amptweaker's unique SideTrak effect loop, which is OFF when the pedal is ON and ON when the pedal is OFF. By inserting effects you want to use in situations where you don't want to use distortion, such as a compressor or chorus, here, you can switch between the ideal clean and distortion with a single switch, and by inserting another distortion here, you can switch between rhythm and lead-like distortion with a single switch.

The standard effect loop, which is linked to the ON/OFF of the pedal, can be connected either before or after the effect with the Pre/Post switch, and is also equipped with features such as an LED that lights up when the adapter is powered, a battery ON/OFF switch, and a battery box that does not require a driver.

Tone: Adjusts the output of the high range. You can strengthen the highs or balance them with the lows.

Tight: Set it high for an aggressive attack, or low for thick distortion.
PlexEQ: Switches the Tone setting. Turn it ON to get a vintage plexi sound.
Noise Gate: Switches the noise gate ON/OFF. The noise gate automatically adjusts to the gain setting.

Effect Loop
The SEND/RETURN jack at the back of the unit can be used as an effect loop that is turned ON/OFF in sync with the ON/OFF of the FatRock unit. This effect loop can be switched to either before or after the FatRock with the Pre/Post switch on the bottom.
The effect loop on the side is Amptweaker's unique SideTrak effect loop, which is OFF when the FatRock unit is ON and ON when it is OFF.
