Empress Effects Heavy Menace - Distortion Pedal

The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal that Empress Effects has ever created. It’s an evolution of the original Heavy with new features and a compact enclosure.

In addition to the original Heavy and Heavier modes, the Heavy Menace adds a new Lite(ish) mode, covering any high-gain sound from classic hard rock to searing modern metal.

Features:

- Three versatile distortion modes - Lite(ish), Heavy, and Heavier
- Footswitchable noise gate
- Three-band EQ with sweepable mid frequency
- Weight control to sculpt low frequency response
- Linked or independent switching of the distortion and gate
- Gate key input (⅛” TS or TRS)
- True bypass or buffered bypass
