Amptweaker / TIGHTMETALJR

A distortion pedal that produces high-gain sounds suitable for metal and hardcore.

The EQ switch allows you to create a slash sound with a deep midrange, and a warm, smooth sound that is ideal for lead tones.

By setting the Tight switch to Fat mode, you can get closer to the tone of Amptweaker's black/doom metal pedal, FatMetal.

● JR Series
The Amptweaker JR series was born from numerous requests to create the high-quality sound of an amp tweaker in a small pedal.
It inherits as many of the functions as possible of Amptweaker's standard models, and also incorporates the experience of the multi-functional Pro series.

Although the effects loop, LEDs that illuminate the control knobs, and power switches have been reduced, the tone-related functions are as concentrated as possible for this size.

In particular, the Tight switch, which switches the low-end output, and the EQ switch, which controls the entire EQ, both have three modes. By being able to choose between normal mode and two modes, you can set it to suit your preferences and equipment.

It is the same size as many compact effects, but the housing is original to Amptweaker. The slant housing makes it easy to operate the foot switch and prevents accidentally stepping on the knob on stage, and the back panel can be removed with a single thumb screw. In other words, no tools such as a screwdriver are required to replace the battery. The bottom of the back panel is flat, making it easy to attach the Velcro.
In addition, the back panel has a ""tie-wrap hole"" that can be used to secure the pedal to a pedal board such as a slatted board with a cable tie, and a ""screw hole"" that can be used to screw the pedal to the pedal board. You can fix only the back panel to the pedal board and remove only the pedal with a thumb screw to replace the battery.
This is a compact pedal made with the player's perspective in mind.
Equipped with a true bypass switch, it can be powered by a 9V battery or a 9-18V adapter. There is a difference in dynamics like a 50W amplifier at 9V and a 100W amplifier at 18V.
Controls
Volume: This is the master volume that adjusts the output volume. You can also boost it.

-Tone: Adjusts the high frequency output. You can make the highs stronger or balance them with the lows.

-Gain: Adjusts the distortion. It can be used for anything from vintage tones to modern high gain.

-EQ switch: Thrash cuts the mids and adds edge, while Smooth creates a warm mid-boosted tone.

-Tight switch: Tight creates an aggressive attack, while Fat creates a thicker, more ""singing"" distortion.

-Noise Gate: Setting it higher strongly attenuates hum noise.
