Amptweaker TightMetal ST

The Amptweaker Tight Metal ST is the secret weapon par excellence for brute metal sounds, which keep their shape even in trendy drop-tunings. The basic gain structure can be adjusted via the "Gain" switch, which offers a modern-aggressive high-setting in addition to the more moderate vintage setting. In addition to the proven combination of gain, tone and volume controls, an additional "tight" potentiometer is available for adjusting the attack behavior, while the "mid" switch can be used to call up the mid-scoop, which is predestined for thrash metal. In addition, there is a noise gate on board, the intensity of which follows the setting of the gain control. In "Chomp" mode, the gate also stops each note hard, supporting galloping staccato playing. In addition, the Amptweaker TightMetal ST offers an effects path with pre/post switch and the innovative SideTrak loop, which is only activated in bypass mode and is ideal for activating several effects for the clean sound simultaneously. Other useful details are the on/off switch for the battery and the illuminated potentiometer caps when using a power supply unit.
