{"product_id":"empress-heavy-menace","title":"Empress Heavy Menace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heavy Menace takes the Heavy's sound into a smaller enclosure and adds a third voice. A three-way switch picks Lite(ish), Heavy or Heavier, so it reaches from classic hard rock crunch to full modern metal. The EQ is three bands with a mid frequency that sweeps from 200Hz to 2.5kHz, and the Weight control is a high-pass filter inside the distortion: up for a big, full bottom, down for a tight response that suits palm muting and extended-range guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gate follows your playing so sustained notes decay naturally and fast stops cut clean, and it now has its own footswitch. Run it linked to the distortion or as a separate gate, and there is a key input so a clean signal can trigger it even with other drive pedals ahead of it. True or buffered bypass, your choice. Built in Ottawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModes: Lite(ish), Heavy, Heavier\u003cbr\u003eControls: Gain, Weight, Output, Low, Mid, High, Gate Thresh, Mid Freq\u003cbr\u003eEQ: -15 to +15 per band; Mid Freq 200Hz - 2.5kHz\u003cbr\u003eGate: footswitchable, linked or independent\u003cbr\u003eGate Key Input: 1\/8\" TS or TRS\u003cbr\u003eBypass: True bypass or buffered bypass\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 1MΩ\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 100Ω\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB): 35Hz - 17kHz\u003cbr\u003eInput Voltage: 9VDC Centre-Negative\u003cbr\u003eRequired Current: 250mA\u003cbr\u003ePower Input Connector: 2.1mm Barrel Connector\u003cbr\u003eHeight (Enclosure Only): 1.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight (Including Controls): 2.5\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 4.8\"\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 2.6\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48147357761620,"sku":"HEMA","price":380.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/empress-heavy-menace-HEMA-front_sq.jpg?v=1794252956","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/empress-heavy-menace","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
