Tight Metal Pedal

The new Tight Metal distortion pedal takes the Tight Drive and Tight Boost overdrive platform to the next level by providing over-the-top metal and hardcore crunch tones with adjustable tightness thanks to the Tight control. This issue came up early on when discussing various ideas with Mark Kloeppel, guitarist from the deathgrind band Misery Index. Like many other metal players, Mark was looking for a particular guitar tone, one with a lot of harmonics but with the ability to stop the notes really fast to work with their music. As on the original Tight Drive, the Tight control varies the low end from smooth and thick to tight and aggressive so you get the attack that works with your guitar and picking style. In the same way high gain tube amps are designed by cascading extra tube stages, the Tight Metal was created by adding additional stages in front of a carefully modified Tight Drive. The resulting thicker and much heavier distortion is tweaked by a simple built-in output EQ curve, and can further be adjusted by the output Tone control, so it's easy to get a stack sound even through a small combo amp's clean channel.
