Monster distorion pedal

SpyrosVl 07.11.2018

I am a simple man. I play heavy metal. I need my sound to be heavy and a boost for the solos with a bit different tone. I do not need a million effects or a complex multieffect.
Empress Effects Heavy does the job in a very simple but also effective way.

Pros:
- Easy to configure and get your sound in a few minutes.
- Plenty of options in order to achieve the above.
- Sounds amazing. The sound is full. No noise even on high gain settings.
- It is a great construction. Compact but the two channel buttons are far enough so you will not accidentally press the wrong switch.

Cons:
- No power adapter was shipped, but you can get one from the local shop in a really low price.

Conclusion:
Worths every cent/penny :)

I use this pedal for metal and it is very good. There is a lot of sound combination. You can dial a sound whatever you like.

It does deserve the name

Pete__ 04.02.2024

This pedal sounds like a massive metal wall!!!! If you dial the gain way low, it will sound thin, so it doesn't clean up as nice as I wish, making it just a little less flexible. The heavy Menace does a much better job at this. But it's a different pedal. This isn't a tube screamer. The rest is absolutely perfect. Sometimes I wish a treble knob for both channels, but I guess in a mix, it is better not to change to much. Also, most pedals have the jacks on the back, so you can pack them tight on the board. This one has input and output and 9V at the sides. A minor thing, but sometimes it does matter.

Brilliant overdrive with sweet modern Metal tones

Lee Westwood 08.01.2023

I've been eyeing this pedal for ages and glad I finally pulled the plug on it - absolutely fat tones, super powerful EQ which makes it really versatile, and the gate is perfectly dialled in. It's also smaller than I thought, which is a plus - not so small that it's impractical, just right - and of course, as it's made by Empress, it's going to be a top quality build, and with great customer service.
