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.

BluesFuzz Jr

Das dichtere, dunklere FatMetal-Distortion arbeitet perfekt direkt in den Clean Kanal eines Amps oder als Vorverstärker direkt in die Endstufe. Es ist für Gitarristen gedacht, die eine wärmere Distortion suchen, die besser zu hell klingenden Gitarren und Verstärkern passt, weniger auf Palm-Muting abzielt aber trotzdem gut mit Tremolo-Picking ala Black Metal funktioniert. Was die Features angeht ist es identisch mit dem TightMetal, aber der Sound wurde optimiert, um den niedrigeren Frequenzbereich Bereich von Tight- und Tone-Regler zu erweitern. Der hinzugefügte Black Gain-Schalter erhöht den Gain, um den dicken, satten Gain zu liefern, nach dem diese Genres verlangen. Der Thrash-Schalter wandelt den Grundton in einen schwereren, mid-scooped Tone um, der sich perfekt für klassische Vintage-Metal-Sounds eignet. Black Gain modifiziert den Klang in einen sehr dichten und extremen Metal Tone. Das Noise Gate wurde ebenfalls optimiert, um es flüssiger arbeiten zu lassen und mit den reduzierten Höhen des FatMetals noch besser zu klingen. Eine weitere coole Amptweaker-Funktion dieses Pedals ist der SideTrak -Effekt-Loop der aktiviert wird, wenn das Pedal im Bypass ist quasi wie eine integrierte A / B-Box.

The thicker, darker FatMetal distortion works perfectly into a clean channel or as a preamp into an effects return or power amp. It is designed for players who want a warmer distortion that workes better with brighter guitars and amps, but also is less aimed at palm-muted metal, and works better for tremolo-picking Black metal. Featurewise it is identical to the TightMetal but its tone has been tweaked to extend the low range of the Tight and Tone controls. The added Black Gain switch boosts the gain to get the thicker, buzzier gain required for those genres. The Thrash switch converts the basic tone into a heavier, more mid-scooped tone for classic vintage metal tones. Black Gain modifies the sound into a very thick and extreme metal tone that. Its noise gate has also been retweaked to make it smoother, and to sound even better with the reduced highs of the FatMetal. Another cool Amptweaker feature on this pedal is the SideTrak effects loop.that turns on when the pedal is being bypassed ...it's like having a built-in A/B box.

Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Overdrives mit zwei Fußschaltern und Boost verfügt der TightDrive Pro über zwei Boost-Regler, einen vor und einen nach der Verzerrung, sodass es einfach ist, Gain und Lautstärke für den perfekten Solo Tone anzupassen. Es gibt auch einen Midboost-Schalter, der gemeinsam mit dem Boost-Regler arbeitet, um Solos dabei zu helfen, sich durch den Mix zu schneiden. Der TightDrive Pro verfügt über einen Smooth Edge-Schalter, der den High-End-Sizzle cuttet und für einen wärmeren Sound sorgt oder umso mehr Klarheit in den Sound bringt. Der integrierte 3-Band-EQ ermöglicht viele tonale Variationen und seiner PlexEQ-schalter bietet traditionelleren Stack-Tones. Für den TightDrive Pro wurde ein neues "cleaneres" Noise Gate entwickelt, das dafür ausgelegt ist, die Geräuschentwicklung zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig cleanere Sounds ermöglicht. Amptweaker-Pedale sind für Effekt-Loops bekannt, und dieses hat gleich 3: einen Universal-Loop, einen der zusammen mit dem Boost aktiv ist und den beliebten SideTrak-Loop, der aktiv ist, wenn das Pedal in Bypass geschaltet wird, wenn das Pedal ausgeschaltet ist .... quasi ist wie eine eingebaute A / B Box.

Unlike most 2-button overdrive pedals with boost, the TightDrive Pro includes 2 Boost knobs, one before and one after the distortion...so it's easy to boost the gain AND volume, for the perfect solo tone There's also a Midboost button that works with the output Boost knob, to help solos cut through the mix. The TightDrive Pro has a Smooth Edge switch which cuts the high end sizzle for a warmer edge or adds clarity when it's OFF, depending on your perspective. The added three band EQ allows for much tonal variation, with its PlexEQ button for more traditional stack tone. A new 'cleaner' noise gate was developed for the TightDrive Pro, which is designed to reduce noise while maintaining the cleaner tones it's capable of. 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.

Amp Tweaker are renowned for their brilliant drive pedals. Establishing this reputation is not easy in such a competitive market, and to stay ahead of the game they have introduced a raft of Jr. pedals. Boasting the same amazing tones that we love about Amp Tweaker, these pedals are in a smaller, more pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
All the Essentials:
The Tight Fuzz Jr. takes the essential features of its larger counterparts, ensuring that no tone is sacrificed. The Tight/Normal/Fat switch lets you adjust the attack and response of the fuzz. If you want a thick and heavy fuzz tone then the Fat mode will provide, whereas the Normal mode delivers a full-bodied, chunky sound with plenty of character. Switch to the Tight setting to shelve some low-end, giving you a more aggressive tone that will cut through in busy mixes with a crisp bite.
As Versatile As You’d Ever Want:
A 60’s/70’s/Now switch gves you further tonal options. You can go from a classic Hendrix-style fuzz bark, to a more modern and saturated tone that works as well for rhythm tones as it does for leads. Essentially an EQ switch, you can also adjust your sound using the conventional Tone control, allowing you to brighten the fuzz the higher you crank it up!
A Germanium/Silicon switch gives you the best of both worlds. Often argued by Fuzz junkies, changing these output transistors lets you affect the warmth and top-end of the fuzz, meaning you will have no problem “tweaking” the pedal for the perfect fuzz sound. See what I did there?
Here's what Amp Tweaker say about the Tight Fuzz Jr. Pedal:
With the popularity of Amptweaker's smaller footprint JR series, we're now adding bass and guitar versions of our Fuzz pedals....introducing TightFuzz JR?, Bass TightFuzz JR?, BluesFuzz JR?, and Bass BluesFuzz Jr?. These pedals share most of the tone-tweaking features available on their larger counterparts, while eliminating effects loops, lit controls, battery switches and boost features that some players don’t need in order to shrink down the size and weight.
Derived from our 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. On the TightFuzz models, an EQ switch provides 60's, 70's, or 'Now' tones, and there's also a Germanium/Silicon switch to change the output transistor for warmer or brighter/high gain distortion. The same automatically adjusted bias on the Fuzz controls keeps the sweet spot at hand, and is especially nice for cleaner tones. And of course the popular Dry Low control is included on the Bass TightFuzz JR.

Bass TightFuzz 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.
