Empress Effects' first offering into the high-gain pedal market is the aptly named Heavy which offers 2 channel of high-gain distortion. The innovative Weight knob adds a new level of control, allowing to adjust the character of the low end. Another feature is the selection of gates available on each channel. The natural setting allows notes to sustain without cutting out and keeping attack transients sounding natural. The Aggressive setting is great for tight punchy playing and fast starts and stops. You'll find a huge range of killer high-gain tones in the Heavy, from crisp, mid-driven 80's metal, to scooped, modern down-tuned brutality.
