{"product_id":"empress-heavy","title":"Empress Heavy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heavy is a two-channel high-gain distortion, Heavy on the left and Heavier on the right. Each side has its own Gain, Mid, Weight and Output, plus a three-way mid frequency switch (500Hz, 250Hz, 2kHz) and its own gate setting. A shared Hi and Low pair sits in the middle to match the pedal to your amp and cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the two channels close together and one becomes a solo boost for the other. Set them apart and you have two different heavy sounds, from mid-forward 80s metal to scooped, down-tuned modern tones. The Weight control shapes how much low end each channel carries, and the noise gate (natural or aggressive) keeps it silent between notes at full gain. Relay true bypass, all analog, handmade in Canada by Empress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the same idea in a smaller box with a third, lighter mode and a footswitchable gate, look at the Heavy Menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChannels: Heavy, Heavier\u003cbr\u003eControls per channel: Gain, Mid, Weight, Output\u003cbr\u003eMid Freq per channel: 500 \/ 250 \/ 2k\u003cbr\u003eGate per channel: off \/ natural \/ aggr.\u003cbr\u003eGlobal EQ: Hi, Low\u003cbr\u003eBypass: True bypass (relay)\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance: 1M\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 510 Ohm\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB): 35Hz - 17kHz\u003cbr\u003eInput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\u003cbr\u003eOutput connector: 1\/4\" Jack\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\u003eHeight (Enclosure only): 1.5\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight (including controls): 2\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 3.5\"\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 4.5\"\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48147357630548,"sku":"HEVY","price":465.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/empress-heavy-HEVY-front_sq.jpg?v=1794252944","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/empress-heavy","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
