High Gain Stompbox

Empress Effects announces Heavy   02-Aug-13

Empress Effects has announced a new pedal called Heavy, and say that you'll find a huge range of killer high gain tones in the aptly named box.

A spokesperson told us, "From crisp, mid-driven 80's metal, to scooped, modern down-tuned brutality, this little box of sonic mayhem does it all. The two independent channels can be voiced similarly so that one channel can be used as a solo boost, or they can be voiced entirely differently by using the mid range control in conjunction with the 3 position mid frequency select switch. Add in separate weight controls to shape the low end response of each channel, and a global hi/low eq section that allows you to fine tune your particular amp and cab combination, and you've got a serious tool to create a supremely heavy sounding rig.

On top of all this we've added an extremely responsive and hassle free noise gate that will ensure dead silent operation with even the most obscene amounts of gain added."

Pricing and Availability:

TBA. Coming soon.
