Empress Effects Heavy Menace

Empress Effects Heavy Menace

The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal Empress Effects 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.

• 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
