Empress Effects Heavy Menace

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