The Heavy Menace distortion pedal from Empress Effects is an evolution of the original Heavy pedal with updated features and a pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Across its three modes, including the Lite(ish) option, Heavy Menace can cover any high-gain sound from vintage hard rock to searing modern metal. The Weight control adjusts a high-pass filter in the distortion circuit to shape low-end character. Turn it up for a full sound or turn counterclockwise for a tight response that's perfect for palm-muting and extended-range guitars. The imd frequency is sweepable from 200Hz to 2.5kHz in order to dial in everything from classic pushes tones to modern scooped sounds. On the Heavy Menace, the gate is footswitchable, and a key input has been added to optionally trigger the gate with an external signal. Advanced setup options let players choose between True Bypass and Buffered Bypass, whether the gate is linked to the distortion or completely independent. With its convenient, smaller size, the Heavy Menace us a perfect fit in a variety of styles and setups, and for any high-gain player.
