Heavy Metal

The Session Heavy Metal is a true heavy-hitter in the world of distortion pedals. This beast of a box was designed to deliver the kind of thick, saturated gain that's the backbone of modern metal and hard rock. But don't let its uncompromising name fool you - this pedal is a versatile tone-shaping machine that can seamlessly transition from snarling riffs to singing lead lines. Powered by a proprietary gain circuit, the Heavy Metal dishes out a rich, harmonically complex distortion that's perfect for cutting through a dense mix. The three-band EQ allows you to sculpt your sound, from scooped mids for that classic metal grind to a more balanced tone ideal for technical playing. And the pedal's impressive headroom means you can crank the gain without sacrificing definition or clarity. What really sets the Session Heavy Metal apart is its touch sensitivity. Dig in with your pick and you'll be rewarded with a ferocious, compressed attack. Back off and the distortion smooths out, giving you the flexibility to go from punishing rhythm work to fluid, expressive solos. Guitarists like Dimebag Darrell and Zakk Wylde have relied on the Heavy Metal's responsive gain for their signature high-gain tones. Whether you play groove-heavy riffs or need a pedal to anchor your shred-heavy leads, the Session Heavy Metal is a formidable tool that can handle it all. It's a must-have for any player seeking the ultimate in modern metal distortion.
