Tight Metal ST

DISTORTION

LOOPER

NOISE GATE

The TightMetal ST distortion pedal takes the popular TightMetal pedal with its over-the-top metal and hardcore crunch tones, and adds the popular SideTrak effects loop. This is a secondary loop that only works when the TightMetal ST is OFF. There's also an added High/Low gain switch to select modern or vintage metal tones. Originally designed with Mark Kloeppel, guitarist of the deathgrind band Misery Index it includes a built-in noise gate with a 'Chomp' setting for extremely tight stops. In the same way high gain tube amps are designed by cascading extra tube stages, the TightMetal was created by adding additional stages resulting in thicker and much heavier distortion. The proprietary SideTrak effects loop turns ON when the pedal is OFF: it's like having a built-in A/B box.
