SKU: EMP-DISTORTION

Product Description

The Empress Distortion pedal is a 3 voice distortion pedal that will allow you to nail analogue distortion sounds.

It's similar to a 3 channel valve amp in that you can get clean-ish distortion as well as a rhythm crunch sound and high gain lead tones too. All switchable via a small toggle switch.

With the 2 band EQ (treble and bass) you can easily sculpt your sound, and without much effort get a great distortion sound!

Here's what Empress say about the Distortion

From mild to crunch to lead, the empress distortion does it all. This true bypass pedal offers three flavors of distortion while retaining a super tight low end and naturally compressing like a high gain amp.

The mild setting offers gentle break-up that cleans up with your volume knob. The crunch setting is tight, with good bite. The lead setting offers high gain with lots of sustain.

Gain control, two bands of EQ and output control allow you to tweak the sound to taste.
