Amptweaker TightFuzz Pro - Pro Series Fuzz Distortion / Boost

The TightFuzz Pro has a Germanium/Silicon switch, 3 band EQ, 3 FX loops and a dual boost with Octave-up effect. As an Amptweaker Pro pedal, the TightFuzz Pro is built from the popular TightFuzz distortion pedal. Its 3 band EQ helps make this one of the most flexible fuzztones available, and Amptweaker's Tight control really makes a difference in controlling the attack of the fuzz. The an auto-bias feature built into the Fuzz control, allows the knob to control from the cleanest to the nastiest distortions with one control. One important difference between the TightFuzz Pro and most 'reissue' fuzz boxes is that with the addition of the Tight control in front of the fuzz circuit, the input of the fuzz circuit is effectively buffered. A common problem with most fuzz designs is that circuits with low output impedances can completely change the bias and gain structure. The result is often an odd sound or squeals, unusual feedback etc. The buffering in the TightFuzz Pro actually simulates the impedance of a guitar, so that the fuzz circuit works in the normal way it's intended, and any low impedance circuit CAN be used in the loop or in front of the pedal. Amptweaker pedals are known for effects loops, and this one has 3: a universal loop, another active with the boost, and our popular SideTrak loop which activates when the pedal is OFF...it's like having a built-in A/B box.
