HEAVY MENACE


The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal that Empress Effects has ever created. It’s an evolution of the original Heavy with new features and a compact enclosure. 


In addition to the original Heavy and Heavier modes, the Heavy Menace adds a new Lite(ish) mode, covering any high-gain sound from classic hard rock to searing modern metal. 


ENHANCED EQ


Fans of the ParaEq pedals know Empress is obsessed with EQ, and the 3-band circuit on Heavy Menace is one of their best. 


The Weight control adjusts a high-pass filter in the distortion circuit to shape low-end character. Turn it up for a thick, full sound, or turn counterclockwise for a tight response that’s perfect for palm muting and extended-range guitars.


Midrange is a key element of a great distorted sound, so the mid frequency is sweepable from 200 Hz to 2.5 kHz to dial in the sweet spot for your guitar and amp. Scoop for a tight, aggressive sound, or push to add definition and cut through a mix.


ADAPTIVE GATE


Players loved the gate on the original Heavy. Envelope followers in the circuit respond to your playing, letting sustained notes decay naturally but clamping down quickly during fast stops.


On the Heavy Menace, this gate is now footswitchable, with two available modes of operation. In normal bypass mode, the gate doesn’t affect the signal if the distortion is off, while independent bypass mode is like having separate distortion and gate pedals. 


Empress has also added a key input so you can optionally trigger the gate with an external signal. This is particularly useful if you have additional pedals before the Heavy Menace in your signal chain, such as a low-gain pedal for stacking. Split a clean signal with a pedal like the Empress Buffer+ and connect it to the Gate Key Input, and the gate will behave consistently regardless of changes at the main input.


TRUE OR BUFFERED BYPASS


The Heavy Menace offers both true bypass for maximum transparency, and buffered bypass to protect against signal loss over long cable runs.

Adorable, well-made suit—perfect for special occasions 🤵✨
This suit exceeded my expectations! The color is beautiful and looks even better in person—perfect for weddings, parties, or any formal event. My son looked so sharp and received so many compliments. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which is great for warmer weather. It doesn’t feel stiff or uncomfortable, so he was able to move around easily all day. The set comes with everything you need—the jacket, vest, pants, and tie—making it a great value. I also appreciate the adjustable waistband on the pants, which helped get a better fit. Overall, the suit looks very polished and high-quality without the high price tag. Only small note: since it’s linen, it can wrinkle a bit, so you may want to lightly steam it before wearing. Overall, a fantastic outfit for any formal occasion—definitely recommend!

Sharp Linen Suit with a Breathable Fit for Summer
Size: 5, Color: Black
This 3-piece suit is a solid option for a summer wedding or any formal event where you want a kid to look sharp without them overheating. The linen material is high quality and feels much more breathable than a standard polyester suit. The jacket, vest, and pants all fit true to size and the stitching is clean throughout. I was impressed with how well the fabric holds its shape without getting excessively wrinkled after a few hours of wear. It’s a grounded, well-made formal set that balances a professional look with the comfort needed for a child to actually move around in it.

sharp Genetalman look for my Toddler
Size: 4, Color: Light Green, Size: 4, Color: Light Green
I was genuinely impressed with the quality of this 3-piece toddler linen suit. The stitching, structure, and overall tailoring give it a polished, high-end look. It doesn’t feel like a flimsy costume suit at all it actually looks like a properly tailored mini version of an adult formal outfit. The green color is absolutely beautiful in person. It’s rich without being too loud and perfect for summer weddings, beach events, or formal family gatherings. The linen blend gives it that breathable, lightweight feel, which is ideal for warmer weather. Now, sizing was completely my fault. I ordered a 4T for my 2-year-old (clearly wishful thinking 😅), so it runs bigger on him right now. But honestly, I’m not mad about it he’ll grow into it, and when he does, he’s going to look amazing. The slim-fit style gives it that modern, sharp look without being overly tight. It also has a working pockets which i thought was really cute The jacket, vest, and pants together create such a classy appearance. I genuinely can’t wait for the next wedding invitation just so he can wear this. Overall, excellent quality, beautiful color, and great craftsmanship. Easy 5 stars.

Nice Fit
Color: Black, White, Light Gray, Size: 3X-Large
I picked this up looking for something simple but clean, and it delivered. The fit is comfortable, the material feels solid, and it looks good without needing much effort. It’s one of those pieces you can throw on and still look put together.
