Mad Professor Hand-Wired Sky Blue Overdrive

Amptweaker’s TightMetal JR ranges from FatMetal to TightMetal tones and features a Tight attack switch and noise gate. With the crazy output level available through the Volume knob, Tight settings (Fat/Flat/Tight), EQ voicings (Thrash/Flat/Smooth), and punchy midrange you can cut or boost using the Tone control, you can virtually run a tone party from Black Sabbath to Avenged Sevenfold to Kyuss and so on. The TightMetal JR is worth exploring as each twist and turn could create new vistas of snarl, growl or singing sustain.

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 Behringer HD300 Heavy Distortion guitar effects pedal gives you all the bottom-heavy distortion you could ever need to blaze through the most punishing and aggressive modern heavy metal and hard rock songs in your setlist. Still looking for a more bottom-heavy tone? Turn up the dedicated Bottom dial to high for more impact. Need some extra sustain? Cranking the Gain Boost knob up lets you achieve insanely liquid sustain—perfect for punctuating those epic guitar solos.
