They are excellent choice for cheap equipment when neither guitar, nor amp or speaker are able to produce quality distortion sound. It sounds too fizzy for me, too artificial, no real distortion sound. It sound very close to Mark IIC+ with the V-shape EQ enabled.I tried various combinations:1. Pedal in front of preamp in clean. Sounds not bad with cheap amp.2. In effects loop.3. As a preamp. If pushed further by amp tubes, it sounds good.4. In dirty channel.5. I even pushed pedal with TubeScreamer. And it still far inferior to its rivals in close price range.EQ and Tight (low end saturation) options are limited, thus separate EQ (or preamp's EQ) is required. Amount of gain is incredible. Noise gate is cool, it just filter out some noise and harmonics at certain threshold, however for high gain dedicated noise gate is still required to completely eliminate hum and noise. I just disabled it entirely on the pedal. It works at 9v and 18v, at 9v more compressed, at 18 - less compressed, more headroom. Battery compartment is easily accessible. Cool looking BTW.For the same price the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive will be way better choice (UPDATE: i wrote it when MXR was 160 bucks, now it is almost 200), however in my opinion Revv G4 is ultimate leader in boutique distortion pedals.I believe the fair price for this pedal is around $80-100 and it would be 3-4 stars rated pedal.Sorry James Brown, i tried to love your pedal, but unfortunately it didn't allow me to do so. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Scream Thrash Melt *by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020* I love this little pedal. It creates the sound of the high gain amps with the mids cut for that thrash metal sound. The note production is clear and no signal loss. When having to create sounds from Anthrax to Muddy Waters, I can't have the amp set for one tone, so I use pedals. Unlike other "metal" pedals, this one creates a smooth high-gain distortion and not just a gained-up overdrive. IF you want overdrive, stick to a Tubescreamer or Fulltone OCD. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Small pedal...massive tone *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016* What a little monster. Using this in front of my Quilter Mini 101 into a 2x12 Egnater cab with Elite 80's. This little pedal gives me a massive, full bodied high gain tone. Stacked with my EP Booster, this set up honestly kills the last two tube amps I previously owned (Budda Superdrive 18 and Carvin V3M). I prefer settings on Smooth and Tight with Gain at 2:00 and Tone at 1:00. Has tons of bite but never muddy or mushy and the low end is massive. Great construction made by James Brown and crew here in the USA. No question...Mr. Brown knocked it out of the park with his Tight Metal line. I also own the Tight Drive Jr which I love as well for low gain OD tones. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41727973-amptweaker-tightmetal-jr-distortion-pedal](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/41727973-amptweaker-tightmetal-jr-distortion-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
