Heavy
Unleash your inner sonic shredder with the Empress Effects Heavy, a powerhouse distortion pedal that redefines the high-gain experience. This innovative offering from the Canadian wizards at Empress pushes the boundaries of distortion, delivering a dynamic, responsive, and versatile sound that will have your amp roaring with unbridled intensity. The Heavy's dual-channel design allows you to explore a vast spectrum of distortion, from the crushing, scooped tones perfect for modern metal, to the mid-focused, aggressive roar of classic 80s shred. The unique "Weight" control puts you in the driver's seat, enabling you to sculpt the low-end response to perfectly complement your playing style and guitar. But the Heavy's sonic arsenal doesn't stop there. Three-band EQ and a mid-frequency selector switch give you unprecedented control over your tone, allowing you to carve out a signature sound that cuts through the mix with surgical precision. And with the choice of "Natural" or "Aggressive" gating, you can fine-tune the pedal's response to achieve the perfect balance of sustain and attack. Whether you're seeking to unleash blistering lead lines, thunderous palm-mutes, or searing solos, the Empress Effects Heavy is a must-have for any serious guitarist seeking to expand their high-gain horizons. Renowned for its use by metal virtuoso Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders, this pedal has become a go-to choice for players seeking to push the boundaries of sonic brutality.
