iamqman « Great Tone »
Published on 04/06/11 at 11:09This is one heavy pedal! The tone from this pedal is amazing. It has a very Germany heavy metal tone that is very rich and chewy. This pedal is not for the faint of heart of some pop music sensation trying to rock out. This is a full blown high gain destruction bringing pedal that will light up the speaker cabinet.
This is an analog pedal that doesn't have any midi attached to it. It will go on your pedal board very nicely with the angle that it has going from back to front. it is a little more bulk compared to a Boss or and Ibanez pedal. Think somewhere in the realm of a Big Muff but not as long or deep.
- Size: 112mm (4.4"), 72mm (2.8"), 90mm (3.5")
- Weight: 420g (14.8 oz)
- Control: Level, Low, High, Dist.
- Ports: IN, OUT
- Power: DC 9V, 9V battery, 6mA
UTILIZATION
This pedal like all AMT pedals is easy to use. It has five control knobs that function the level, two EQ settings, and the gain. Each one does exactly as it read of the knob. The gain has a lot of distortion on tap and will be very wicked sound.
SOUND QUALITY
This pedal is a fun pedal to play with. It has a natural sounding distortion fitting for heavy metal players and drop tuning players. You will get a huge fat chewy tone with this pedal that sounds like a German amp company like Diezel or an Engl. It has that familiar grind to it that is immediately recognizable. It even has a hint of Mesa style grind in the gain structure. This is a pedal that will give you a solid wall of air coming form your speakers. Very awesome!
OVERALL OPINION
This is my second favorite pedal offering from AMT. The first being the Extreme lll which is just a voicing issue that I personally prefer. However, this pedal is just a great sounding unit that will have a thundering low end. Not really voiced in the upper midrange like other AMT pedals. This one gets a chewy thick lower midrange that stays pretty tight.
I would recommend this pedal to anyone on a budget looking for a thick warm German high gain tone. At new they come in at around $120 which is a great price for what this unit delivers. This is fun pedal to play as it just makes playing more fun and enjoyable.
