Great demo Pete. I've been using this pedal for about a year. It's got the chug, no doubt about it. More gain than my Mesa Mk. V. I run it into the clean channel and it's amazing. But it will also turn a Fender amp into a sleeper metal rig. Heavy is the perfect name for this pedal.

The amount of distortion pedals I played around with trying to find my sound was insanity wish I had have found this pedal years before ago if anyone's wondering how good it is I'd rate it 10/10 all day

Your playing as always, exceptional. The pedal was brutal, vicious, and aggressive. If that was the intention for the pedal's design, Empress achieved their purpose.

Fantastic demo Pete. I bought this pedal a couple months ago and I can't stop talking about it. It's got a ferociously good midrange, the low end is nice and tight and palm mutes sound chuggy and aggressive. The built in noise gate also works incredibly well too! Keep up the stellar work!

It does help to have a Guitarist that could plug into a Tin can and make it sound great! Take care mate♥️. Melbourne, Australia.

@2triggered2comment55 4 жыл бұрын

If that is what you're option is go empress heavy... You wont be disappointed. I would also look at the Herbert.. those are the two I'm stuck between. Empress heavy and Herbert. I've played them both enough but they're both so fucking sick... I had a tight metal pro for a while and traded it in. Guess it depends what you're looking for. oh yeah revv g4 and g3 are way up there also. I really feel like the tight and fatmetal both just dont sound nearly as good as some of the other metal preamps out rn. Just my 2 cents.
