The dual channel Blackstar LT Dual distortion pedal adds a different dimension to your rig. Its patent-applied-for clipping circuit provides the tube-like tone and response you need. Channel 1 delivers clean to crunchy overdrive while the Channel 2 carries on with crunch to screaming high-gain leads. The LT Dual’s control panel features Level and Gain controls for every channel and shared tone and ISF knobs. The ISF control allows you to change between British- and American-style raunch gradually.
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.
Carrying features identical to the TightRock, the darker and fatter FatRock Distortion Pedal is the culmination of insights from players who asked for a variation of TightRock. The FatRock version’s tone was tweaked to extend the Tone and Tight controls’ low range. The EQ switch provides classic vintage stack tones while the Gain Boost switch produces a very modern amount of gain. With both switches turned off, you can use the pedal as a fat overdrive for an already distorted pedal/amp, without drastically altering the character.
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.
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.

This is exactly what you’d expect from a hard clipping distortion pedal. Nice aggressive sounds with a variety of choices to give you exactly what you want. Add a Tubescreamer type to this and you’ve covered all the overdrive/distortion sounds you’ll ever need. Soundly built pedal and the little bar in the middle is a nice feature which stops you from inadvertently moving the knobs when you activate the pedal.
