SKU: FATMETAL

Product Description

The FatMetal, from Amptweaker, is designed for players who want a warm tone that works great with brighter guitars and amps. It’s great for tremolo-picking Black metal. All features are identical to the incredibly popular TightMetal, but the tone has been tweaked to extend the low range of the Tight and Tone controls, and an added Black Gain switch was added to boost the gain in an appropriate way to get the thicker, buzzier gain required for that genre.

Versatility of tone

The Thrash switch converts the basic tone into a heavier, more mid-scooped tone for classic vintage metal tones. The Black Gain switch modifies the gain from a moderately heavy metal distortion to a very thick and extreme metal tone that. The TightMetal noise gate has also been retweaked to make it smoother, and to sound better with the reduced highs of the FatMetal to allow it to work better for solos.

Another cool Amptweaker feature on this pedal is the SideTrak™ effects loop. This extra effects loop that turns OFF when the pedal is ON.  Since the FatMetal makes such a good ‘solo’ pedal, it’s the perfect pedal to include this unique idea. Well done Amptweaker 

2 amps, 1 pedal

Another cool SideTrak trick is that if you only plug in the SideTrak Send, and don't plug in the Return, then that Sent dry signal can be sent to another amp.....meaning you could have the FatMetal going through a 412 halfstack while sending the clean tone to a Twin or some other clean amp.  All this ability comes from two simple jacks on the side of the pedal!
