James Brown is an industry legend. Chances are you are right now enjoying one of the amps he designed or played a big part in the design of. James' Amptweaker brand pedals are his latest gift to the guitar playing fraternity, and please believe me when I say that these pedals are WAY above what many regard as high quality or high standard. To back up my claim I will tell you right now that the TightDrive Pro and the Big Rock Pro are, at the time of writing, being installed onto a brand new custom pedalboard (thanks Chris Hine at C&C Cases) that I'm having built.
I cannot possibly convey what the TightDrive Pro is capable of in a 10 minute video but here I have tried to give you a broad idea. Amptweaker pedals are simply amazing. If you're after a more comprehensive demonstration of the feature set I would recommend you consult James' own videos at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lx9itRhbFM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyLGZ4G9nwY. In the meantime, let me entertain you...
