Pedals that stack with the Amptweaker Tight Metal

Soldano SLO

Soldano SLO's tight, articulate high-gain preamp stacks with Tight Metal's own gated distortion for a thicker, two-stage push.

Sola Sound Tone Bender MkII

The Tone Bender MkII's germanium, throaty gain gives Tight Metal's gated modern distortion an older, grittier front end to stack on.

Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress

Run the Electric Mistress's lush analog flange after Tight Metal's own gated gain settles, so the modulation moves a defined tone.

Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio

Run the Golden Ratio's punchy optical compression ahead of Tight Metal for even attack before the gated metal gain reacts.

TC Electronic Triple Flashback Delay

Keep the Triple Flashback's tube-toned delay trailing after Tight Metal's gated gain, not before, or the repeats inherit an unshaped tone. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Hungry Robot The Borderland

Keep the Borderland's ambient, boutique reverb trailing after Tight Metal's gated gain, not before, or the reverb just smears the distortion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
