FatMetal Pro
The Amptweaker FatMetal Pro is a versatile distortion powerhouse that caters to the needs of metal guitarists seeking a bold, dynamic tone. Designed as an evolution of the acclaimed TightMetal Pro, this pedal offers a distinct voicing that excels with brighter amplifiers or when targeting the thick, sludgy tones favored in doom and black metal. At the heart of the FatMetal Pro lies a sophisticated boost system, providing both Gain Boost and Volume Boost controls. This allows players to seamlessly integrate the pedal into their signal chain, using the boost to push their amp into rich, harmonically complex distortion. An additional effects loop that engages with the Boost footswitch makes it easy to incorporate modulation or delay into the boosted signal, opening up a world of creative possibilities. The FatMetal Pro's versatility extends beyond the boost functionality, with a comprehensive three-band EQ, "Fat" switches, and a "Thrash" mode that can sculpt the perfect aggressive tone. Amptweaker's renowned Tight control gives players precise control over the pick attack, ensuring the perfect balance between palm-muted chugs and blistering lead work. Guitarists seeking a flexible, high-gain distortion pedal that can adapt to a wide range of amplifiers and playing styles will find the FatMetal Pro to be a valuable addition to their pedalboard. Its unique tonal shaping capabilities and smart feature set make it a must-try for modern metal enthusiasts.
