Heavy Menace is a highly evolved and more flexible high-gain distortion pedal. Equipped with a 3-mode gain range and the high-quality 3-band EQ that only Empress can offer, it can create a wide range of sounds, from light crunch to powerful heavy grind. Furthermore, the Weight parameter allows you to intuitively control the power of the low frequencies, creating a heavy sound that lives up to its name. The adaptive noise gate perfectly follows your playing and doesn't interfere with your feel, allowing for stepless threshold control. It also features a Gate Key Input that allows you to trigger the gate with an external signal, allowing you to create the perfect sound for any situation. Even if your sound is already heavy, try adding Menace to create your signature sound.-Three versatile modes - Lite(ish), Heavy, and Heavier - Noise gate with foot switch on/off - Gate key input (TS or TRS) - 3-band EQ with stepless adjustment of MID frequency Weight control to shape low-frequency response Distortion and gate can be turned on/off independently Switchable between true bypass and buffered bypass 9-12V DC, 250mA (center negative)
