High Gain in the vain of 80s Metalica or Guns and Roses or Slayer or Janes Addiction is just the glory sound of Marshall JCM 800s and 900s or Soldano guitar amplifier heads CRANKED. The Empress Heavy Guitar Pedal is a just that a killer high gain Distortion guitar pedal. In this aptly named box you'll find a huge range of killer high gain tones. From crisp, mid-driven 80's metal, to scooped, modern down-tuned brutality, this little box of sonic mayhem does it all. The two independent channels can be voiced similarly so that one channel can be used as a solo boost, or they can be voiced entirely differently by using the mid range control in conjunction with the 3 position mid frequency select switch. Add in separate weight controls to shape the low end response of each channel, and a global hi/low eq section that allows you to fine tune your particular amp and cab combination, and you've got a serious tool to create a supremely heavy sounding rig.
On top of all this we've added an extremely responsive and hassle free noise gate that will ensure dead silent operation with even the most obscene amounts of gain added.
