OVERDRIVE- EMPRESS EFFECTS Heavy ...what can't it do???

 EMPRESS HEAVY 

$260.00 USD

What doesn't it have??? Nothing I can think of.
You get 2 channels 'heavy' & 'heavier'. Both have their own gain mid and level. There is a hi and low which is works on both sides. Empress say they designed to match the pedal to your amp.
Both sides have a mid frequency switch which you cut or boost at 500, 250, or 2k
The gate is excellent. Set on natural you have zero noise and it works seamlessly. Or you can set it to aggressive which gives you an instant kill switch you hand mute the strings great for 'stops'.

The weight control is unreal. You can pull up some tight killer low end.

CONCLUSION
Damn hard not to be impressed. The technology is ingenious something you might expect if it were digital and Empress are the masters of that ...but this pedal is all analog. They still even pulled off the rich tones of a real amp even when pushed hard.
Yes a few new pedals have a great tight sound but they have no lows.
Empress give you those lows with their 'weight' control and still keep those lows tight. The 'stops' gate and weight really have me hooked.
