Der Bass TightDrive war das erste Amptweaker Bass-Produkt und führte den beliebten Tight Attack Control ein. Aufgrund vieler Benutzerwünsche ist der Bass TightDrive auch mit einem zusätzlichen Knopf auf der Vorderseite erhältlich, der dem Dry Low MOD trockene Low-End-Sounds hinzufügt, wodurch professionelle Dual-Amp-Rigs, wie sie von Künstlern wie dUg Pinnick verwendet werden, einfach simuliert werden können. In Kombination mit den Reglern Gain, Tone und Volume sind viele Verzerrungsgrade möglich. Die tonale Bandbreite reicht von dichten Bässen über knackige und fette Walking-Blues-Klänge bis hin zu knackigen Rhythmus-Sounds um deinen Röhrenverstärker ernsthaft zu übersteuern - für die wirklichen heavy Bass Sounds.

The Bass TightDrive was the first Amptweaker bass product, and introduced our popular Tight attack control. Due to many user requests, the Bass TightDrive is also available with an extra knob on the face that adds dry lowend back to the tone, called the the Dry Low MOD, making it easy to simulate professional dual amp rigs as used by artists like dUg Pinnick. When combined with the Gain, Tone, and Volume controls, a lot of different distortion sounds are possible. The tonal variations range from thick bass tones, from barely clean and fat walking blues, to crunchy rhythm sounds, all the way up to seriously overdriving your tube amp for really heavy bass. It's also possible to use it to clean up a tube amp that might otherwise sound too floppy when you play it really hard.

Bass TightDrive Mod

Der Bass TightMetal Jr ist eine Bassversion des beliebten TightMetal Jr von Amptweaker und verfügt über den Dry Low MOD-Regler an der Seite. Diese Blende fügt deinem Tone ein cleanes Low-End hinzu und hilft, den Grundsound beizubehalten, ohne dem verzerrten Highend seltsame phasenschoben Klänge hinzuzufügen. Abgeleitet von der Pro-Serie wurden die Tight-Regler und Fat-Schalter in einen 3-Wege Fat / Normal / Tight Schalter umkonfiguriert, um das Attack von dick und heavy zu aggressiv und clunky zu verändern. Ein EQ-Schalter bietet Thrash / Normal / Smooth-Klangeinstellungen, wodurch das Pedal eine breite Palette von Anwendungen abdeckt und sich in verschiedenste Rigs einfügt. Zusätzlich zu den Gain-, Tone- und Volume-Reglern gibt es ein manuell anpassbares Noise Gate, mit dem du Noten schnell und hart abstoppen kannst. Und das Tolle an einem eingebauten Noise Gate ist, dass es verschwindet, wenn das Pedal im Bypass ist ... damit dein Clean-Signal nicht beeinträchtigt wird! Der Tight-Schalter und der Tone-Regler wurden optimiert, um bei niedrigeren Frequenzen noch besser zu arbeiten, wodurch der TightMetal Jr perfekt für Bass- oder tiefer gestimmte sowie 7- oder 8-Saiter Gitarren geeignet ist.

The Bass TightMetal Jr is a bass version of Amptweaker's popular TightMetal Jr, and includes the Dry Low MOD knob on the side. This blend adds in clean lowend to the tone, helping to maintain the bottom without adding weird phase-shifty tones to the distorted highend. Derived from the Pro series, the Tight control and Fat switches were re-configured into a 3-position Fat/Normal/Tight switch to dial in the attack of the notes from thick and heavy to aggressive and chunky. An EQ switch similarly provides Thrash/Normal/Smooth tone settings, which helps the pedal cover a broad range of applications and work with various rigs. In addition to Gain, Tone and Volume knobs, there's also a manually-adjustable Noise Gate which can be cranked to stop notes hard and fast. And the great thing about a built-in noise gate is that it goes away when you turn the pedal off...so your clean tone is unaffected! The Tight switch and Tone control were tweaked to operate at lower frequencies, making them perfect for bass OR lower tuned guitars such as 7 or 8-strings.

TightMetal Jr

The DepthFinder is an active boost-only EQ pedal that simulates the tube amp Resonance and Presence controls, but without having to be done in the power amp. This means you can use it with an amp that doesn’t have Resonance and Presence, by patching it in the effects loop. It also works great for building a pedalboard direct signal, since that low damping factor is a key ingredient to the overall tone. It can easily make a solid state amp sound and feel more like a tube amp, and can actually widen the bandwidth since it boosts at very low and very high frequencies.

DepthFinder

Das BluesFuzz Jr Fuzz Pedal basiert auf dem BluesFuzz Limited, einem begehrten auf 49-Stück limitierten Modell, das einen Germanium-Transistor mit niedrigem Gain mit Boost-, Mid-EQ- und Tight-Attack-Schalter besaß. Es verfügt über die meisten der Optionen, auf seinem großen Bruder zu finden sind, wobei einige Features, die viele Gitarristen nicht benötigen eingespart wurden, um Größe und Gewicht zu reduzieren. Abgeleitet von der Pro-Serie wurden Tight-Regler und Fat-Schalter in einen 3-Positionen-Fat / Normal / Tight-Schalter umkonfiguriert, um das Attack von dick und heavy zu aggressiv und clunky zu verändern. Da dieses Modell verfügt über einen Germanium-Transistor mit geringem Gain und einen Input Boost um dichtere Fuzz Sounds zu erhalten. Und um die wichtigen Mitten hinzu zu blenden, gibt es einen Mid-Regler, wie beim Original-BluesFuzz. Die geniale automatische Bias Anpassung des Fuzz-Reglers sorgt dafür, dass der Sweet Spot immer griffbereit ist und macht, dass sich das Blues Fuzz Jr besonders gut für cleane Sounds eignet.

The BluesFuzz Jr fuzz pedal is based on the BluesFuzz Limited, a sought-after 49 piece model that used a low gain germanium transistor with boost, mid EQ, and Tight attack switch. It shares most of the tone-tweaking features available on its larger counterpart, while eliminating some features most players don't need in order to shrink down the size and weight. Derived from the Pro series, the Tight control and Fat switches were re-configured into a 3-position Fat/Normal/Tight switch to dial in the attack of the notes from thick and heavy to aggressive and chunky. Since this model uses a low gain germanium transistor, an input boost is included to give thicker fuzz tones. And to help dial in the all-important mid frequencies, there's a Mid control that matches the tone of the original BluesFuzz when set in the middle. The ingenious automatically adjusting bias on the Fuzz controls keeps the sweet spot at hand, and is especially nice for cleaner tones.

Review by Bass Gear Mag

BluesFuzz Jr

James Brown (no, not the Godfather of Soul), the ingenious amp tinkerer, has grabbed the good old Fuzz pedal and combined vintage sound with contemporary technology. As usual with Amptweaker, the Tightfuzz pedal offers a wide range of control options, which make the pedal incredibly flexible. Fuzzpedals often have problems with modern, buffered effect pedals. Vintage fuzz pedals are tuned to the high impedance of a guitar pickup and sound very strange with low impedance signals. Amptweaker has solved the problem by developing a special buffer circuit, which simulates a guitar pickup and is connected to the fuzz circuit. Unusually also the Fuzz Pot: both Fuzz intensity as well as the BIAS of the transistors is simultaneously influenced. The Tightfuzz can easily be integrated into modern pedalboards and delivers a variety of convincing sounds.
