Amptweaker Introduces the FatMetal Distortion Pedal

Introducing the Amptweaker FatMetal distortion Pedal

Cumming, GA, Jan 15, 2015

Amptweaker’s popular TightMetalTM series distortion pedals have become a standard in metal tones and many metal artists are now touring with them. The new FatMetalTM tweaked version is designed to meet the needs of the players seeking heavier, thicker distortion with less emphasis on palm-muted articulation.

A special Black gain switch was added to help get Black or Doom metal tones that typically use tremolo- or flutter-picking and less hard-stopping attack in their music by adding a thicker sounding distortion. Combining the Thrash switch for added presence and mid-scoop helps create many different metal tones. And much like the FatRock version of the TightRock, the highs have been tweaked for a smoother tone, and the noise gate was throttled down to reduce the effect of the gate stopping the notes quickly, resulting in more sustain.

The FatMetal also makes a simple 1-click rhythm/lead solution when combined with the TightMetal patched into the SideTrak loop(active when the FatMetal is OFF) for rhythms. A delay can be patched into the standard effects loop on the FatMetal for the perfect legato solo tones.

The FatMetal is also great for heavy bass tones, since the Tight control and basic tone have been tweaked lower/darker, similar to the tweaks made to create our Bass TightDrive.

Standard Amptweaker features: LED illumination of controls, 14 gauge steel housing and true bypass switching.
