got mine about a month ago, heard it at NAMM and had to have it! I really dig it, can get a wide array of tones from it. I'm setting it now just slightly gritty, but can get crazy, love it! And James is a super nice guy that handmakes these with his wife!

One of my many loaded PT Minis, I think I have a pedal problem/addiction :)

Nice board! Seems like we are twins separated at birth (also got the Groove Regulator and the OC-2, plus interested in the TightFuzz).

Can you compare the TightFuzz to other fuzz-pedals you own?

I'm not too good at describing my pedals, but I know what I like. I seem to group all my dirt together - fuzz/overdrives- and just judge by how much or how little I can get.

The amptweaker has a ton of options to get different sounds, and still blend a clean tone. Nice and varied, I'm able to get little to tons of dirt/fuzz. I have a BBM that I dig but it's more fuzz than dirt, same for my MXR bass fuzz deluxe. I really like an older Polish Love pedal I have, very touch sensitive and is probably one of my favorite dirt pedals, but would that be considered fuzz or overdrive?

Thumbs up from me on the amptweaker though, I'm going to try the bass tightdrive too as soon as they are in stock. I have a bunch of others like the sft, boss odb3, digi bass driver, bass modded bad monkey, dod fx91, vt, unibass, etc etc, but this is favorite for now :)

Here's a link to a review of the Bass TightFuzz from the latest issue of Bass Gear Magazine. I really dig this pedal.
