New from Empress, this pedal combines high gain, massive EQ control, and a noise gate, all in one compact unit. @empresseffects austinguitarho... austinguitarho...
I have this Heavy Menace distortion since 3 days and it's impressive, the sound reproduces each note perfectly, cleanly, even with a lot of gain. Thanks to the "weight" button, the palm-mutes come out huge, heavier, louder! The highs come out without being aggressive or tiring. The gate is also super well calibrated! I had many hi-gain distortion pedals (Blackstar Dist-X, Boss Metalzone, EV Metalmuff, Guyatone MetalMonster...) and the Empress HM is far above. It transforms any tube amp clean channel into a Hi-gain channel.
