Each channel features a gate, selectable midrange control, and a Weight control to sculpt low-end. A master 2-band EQ lets you fine-tune the sound for any rig or room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this aptly named box you'll find a huge range of killer high gain tones. From crisp, mid-driven 80's metal, to scooped, modern down-tuned brutality, this little box of sonic mayhem does it all. The two independent channels can be voiced similarly so that one channel can be used as a solo boost, or they can be voiced entirely differently by using the mid range control in conjunction with the 3 position mid frequency select switch. Add in separate weight controls to shape the low end response of each channel, and a global hi\/low eq section that allows you to fine tune your particular amp and cab combination, and you've got a serious tool to create a supremely heavy sounding rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of all this we've added an extremely responsive and hassle free noise gate that will ensure dead silent operation with even the most obscene amounts of gain added\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003eAll Analog Signal Path - no digitals in here!\u003cbr\u003eSuper High Gain - It's called the heavy, what'd you expect?\u003cbr\u003eWeight - An intuitive new control that changes the character of your low end.\u003cbr\u003e3 Band EQ - Selectable mid frequency lets you get precise eq curves, with boost or cut up to 10dB per band.\u003cbr\u003eDual Channel Design - Heavy and Heavier let you set your channels similarly, for rhythm\/solo, or completely differently for a wider range of tones.\u003cbr\u003eSoft Touch Switches - Relay bypass and intelligent switching make this pedal super easy to use.\u003cbr\u003eNoise Gate - Natural and aggressive settings let you tailor the gate to your needs, keeping noise out of your signal chain.\u003cbr\u003eTrue Bypass - The Empress Heavy employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.\u003cbr\u003eSmall Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5\" by 3.5\" by 1.5\", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 1M\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 510 Ohm\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB): 35Hz - 17kHz\u003cbr\u003ePower Input Voltage: 9V DC (Negative tip)\u003cbr\u003ePower Input Connector: 2.1mm barrel connector\u003cbr\u003ePower Consumption: ~200mA\u003cbr\u003eEnclosure Material: Die Cast Aluminum\u003cbr\u003eInput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\u003cbr\u003eOutput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\u003cbr\u003eHeight (Enclosure only): 1.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight (including controls): 2\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 3.5\"\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 4.5\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1lbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45448121614512,"sku":"850040850284","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/2567\/6464\/files\/Heavy-top-transparent.webp?v=1783708165","url":"https:\/\/wcmusicstore.com\/products\/empress-heavy-distortion-new","provider":"Al Bien's West Chester Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
