MXR Dime Distortion

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 Plexi-M is a ‘60s Marshall plexi amp in stompbox form that lets you go from a warm, mild overdrive to a crunchy distortion reminiscent of a heavily cranked plexi. You can twist the Tone knob clockwise for a brighter and brighter sound and crank up the Gain knob for all the distortion you could ever want. The Plexi-M comes with true bypass and has a 100% analog signal path. This is quite possibly the cheapest reliable plexi distortion pedal you’ll ever find anywhere.

The TightRock Jr is a high-gain distortion, which can be utilized as a preamp. It features a Tight attack switch and noise gate. The TightRock Jr pedal uses the same circuity and shares many of the tone-tweaking features offered by its bigger counterparts. To achieve its compact size, Amptweaker removed battery switches, lit controls, effects loops, and boost features that are unneeded by some players. Other product features include Fat/Normal/Tight switch to adjust your guitar’s attack, Gain, Tone, and Volume knobs, 9-18VDC operation, and true bypass switching.
