Empress Effects Heavy Menace

Amazing pedal. Extremely musical and reactive. Tons of beautiful saturation and high gain tones. Separate gate and independent key input makes so much sense, once you start playing with it can get a very expressive feature. Simply fantastic into a clean amp can turn a Fender into Mesa or Diezel ballpark. Also shines with active pickups and other overdrives running into it as boost. Highly recommended if you are into Metallica, Tool or other Heavy Metal/NuMetal tones.

Compact, easy to use,sounds great. This pedal does the trick every time!
Recommended for all things rock and metal.

Pretty good distortion, can go from light kinda overdrive sounds to heavy stuff, noise gate is super useful and "smart" I guess? Happy with purchase)
