EMPRESS Heavy Menace

The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal we’ve ever created. It’s an evolution of our 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.

Key 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
