The Amptweaker TightMetal Pro Distortion Effect Pedal is the dual-pedal version of the well-loved TightMetal. Since the TightMetal’s introduction in 2011, Amptweaker customers have requested for a two button variant. Amptweaker surveyed some users who were not pleased with the TightMetal to determine the necessary tone changes. The TightMetal Pro features a Midboost button, two Fat switches, and two Boost knobs. Other features include an adjustable internal input noise gate for more gating, High Gain switch for heavier tones, and Gain, Tight, and Volume controls.

As its name hints, Amptweaker’s FatMetal creates a thick, rich distortion with a warmer overall tone compared to the TightMetal pedal. It is a professional-quality tool packed with valuable features that exhibit an unmatched devotion to practicality and quality. It features Tight, Gain, Tone, and Volume controls. A trio of mini switches lets you select noise gate on/off, normal/thrash tone, and normal/black gain boost settings. FatMetal is among the few metal distortion pedals whose sound does not immediately vanish while performing with a full band.

The FatMetal Pro delivers an assortment of new functions to the earlier FatMetal pedal. This Pro version contains a dual-boost function, three effects loops, and a handy 3-band EQ, which facilitates tone shaping, and still brings the classic Fat-Metal tone curve. The FatMetal Pro is a super high-gain pedal featuring a Smooth switch to temper the highs and Thrash switch to transform the basic tone into a heavier, more mid-scooped one. It is crafted for players who sought a warmer metal tone which works best with brighter guitars and amps.
