INTRODUCTION

The Blaze Dynamic Overdrive is based on the Amptweaker Tight Drive, the very first pedal from amp

guru James Brown, who designed the Peavey 5150 amplifier. It was first released in 2010 and

Aion FX in

2023.

The Tight Drive predated the Tight Metal and Tight Rock by a year. The topology is overall very similar

to these two later pedals, but simplified a bit. (The Tight Metal and Tight Rock circuits are available as a

hybrid project called the

In particular, it omits one clipping stage, the noise gate, some midrange shaping after the tone stack, and

a hi-cut at the output. The overall concept is similar, though: pre-drive bass cut, high-threshold zener

clipping, and a Big Muff-style tone stack.

The Blaze is a close adaptation of the Tight Drive based on our trace, only omitting the SideTrak effects

loop that is engaged when the pedal is activated.

USAGE

The Blaze has four knobs:

• Tight is a pre-gain bass cut that helps to eliminate flabbiness with quick riffing.

• Drive sets the gain of the second op-amp stage, which clips on its own and can also drive the third

op-amp stage into clipping.

• Tone pans between a high-pass and low-pass filter after the drive section, similar to the Big Muff

tone control.

• Volume is the overall output volume of the effect.
