Overview
The Empress Effects Heavy Dual-Channel Distortion Pedal brings aggressive, high-gain tones with precision shaping capabilities. This used unit is in great condition, offering the same brutal distortion with pristine clarity as a new one. Featuring an ultra-responsive EQ, the Heavy pedal delivers cutting-edge sonic customization with its distortion and weight controls on two independent channels.
