All analog circuitry- none of the latency associated with digital technology. Better dynamics, better response, better tone. As always I have a preference for compact pedal enclosures - unless I am offered a dual channel feature or additional dials which require further real-estate. I favour tone, as well as utility, versatility and form-factor. It’s quite unusual that I actually have the Diezel VH4-2, as I’m normally put off by such large enclosures, but bizarrely really like this one. That said, my pedal chain space is tight, so any new acquisitions will be either out-an-out replacements / upgrades - or else temporary swap-outs just for different flavours. There are also two mini switches, a thrash mediums to dig my faith too damn much and chomp that activates the noise gate. A word about the founder of Amptweaker none other than the father's home peavey 5150 (he is also TransTube, triple xxx, JSX, and other home kustom, etc.) if there is evidence that Mr. James Brown, if not the godfather of funk knows about design stuff of quality oats. Which brings us on to the final piece of the puzzle – EQ. The reason that the 5150, JCM800 or Mesa Mark series have become classic metal amps is their EQ profile. Not only is the profile, or voicing, of an amp or pedal important, but also what control the player has over the EQ. How we choose products

Runs on 9V-18V batteries or supplies–like 'variacing' your amp up and down, or similar to 50W versus 100W tone

The 2nd switch is what MI Audio calls the Mode switch also has 3 settings that will change the contours of the overall tone. The Presence knob gives you even more control over those high end frequencies. So it’s difficult to go wrong with a pedal that will do so much, and allows so much control and fine tuning to the sound than you can normally expect from just a pedal. #10 Abasi Concepts Pathos Distortion

Why You Must Have It……. And Have It Now!!!

It can be used to add a compressor, chorus or chain of effects that only works when you play clean, or to switch to another distortion pedal to use for an alternate rhythm sound...all without having to hit more than one switch....it’s like having a built-in A/B box. A green LED alternates with the normal red one to indicate that the loop is active when the pedal is bypassed. Specifications This pedal like all amptweaker was designed with the help of the community of guitarists on the internet where the presence of all these more rightly desired by many guitarists. Some pedals have effects loops, this one has 3: a universal loop, another active with the boost, and our popular SideTrak loop which activates when the pedal is OFF, to automatically shut off clean effects. Heavy metal music is one of the best displays of what the guitar can do. Metal pushes the limits of the instrument from serious shredding, to drop tuning chugging it’s a genre that a lot of guitar players love with good reason. DeFizzerator – Take out some of the excessive high end associated with some amps and speakers in high-gain mode.

All the pedals in the listing are potential targets, even though the Metal Muff and Throttle Box EQ are somewhat large and that will work against them. I’m always on the look for clever pedal evolutions, and I really like what James Brown is doing at Amptweaker. It’s not at all clear what my next Metal pedal will be as I have several in my sights - on this list and in addition, and it really depends on what inspires me, what is available at the time and at what price - oh - and size is sort of important too - to a degrees.In fact, many killer metal tones use a mid gain setting, whether from a pedal or amplifier.

It's not super versatile but still a little, the settings are there to adapt the sound of the pedal to the material on which it is connected not to change the character of the device even with the switch in the off position thrash we are in a record sound more civilized. Sometimes pedals with a full-EQ will turn some players off, this pedal finds a nice middle ground. Another great feature of this pedal is the true bypass, even when you turn the pedal off a lot of pedals will still affect the clean tone the true bypass eliminates that. More recently, tech metal bands have leaned on modelling units like the Axe-FX series. Even so, many of the models used, like the FAS Modern, are simply hot-rodded emulations of classic metal amps, often with a boost in front.
