It builds upon the foundation of our original Heavy pedal, incorporating new features within a more compact design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Heavy Menace expands its range with the addition of a Lite(ish) mode, complementing the original Heavy and Heavier settings. This new mode caters to a broad spectrum of high-gain tones, from the vintage crunch of classic hard rock to the intense blaze of contemporary metal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Weight control modifies a high-pass filter within the distortion circuit, allowing you to sculpt the low-end presence. Crank it clockwise for a robust, dense tone, or dial it back for a crisp response ideal for palm-muted riffs and guitars with extended ranges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe midrange frequency is crucial for achieving a superior distorted tone. Therefore, we've made it adjustable from 200 Hz to 2.5 kHz, enabling you to pinpoint the perfect midrange for your guitar and amplifier. Whether you prefer a scooped, ferocious sound or a boosted presence to slice through the mix, the Heavy Menace provides the versatility to achieve it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-content-type=\"column-group\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-grid-size=\"12\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"UOJ3XJP\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\" data-content-type=\"column-line\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"B7TDSJ0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"OEDWE3O\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"NCHNE52\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree versatile distortion modes - Light(ish), Heavy, and Heavier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFootswitchable noise gate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree-band EQ with sweepable mid frequency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight control to sculpt low frequency response\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLinked or independent switching of the distortion and gate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGate key input (⅛” TS or TRS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrue bypass or buffered bypass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll-analog signal path\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"PLJFFJO\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"A79D1E3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInput Impedance: 1MΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput Impedance: 100Ω\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequency Response (-3dB): 35Hz - 17kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInput Voltage: 9VDC Centre-Negative\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequired Current: 250mA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePower Input Connector: 2.1mm Barrel Connector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight (Enclosure Only): 1.5”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight (Including Controls): 2.5”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 4.8”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: 2.6”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 1lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57136572694908,"sku":"HEAVYMENACE","price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/2237\/0402\/files\/heavy_menace_ltd_1.webp?v=1783091475","url":"https:\/\/www.guitarbitz.com\/products\/empress-effects-the-heavy-menace-limited-edition-effects-pedal","provider":"Guitarbitz Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
