Empress Effects Heavy - Manual (Page 4)

Controls at a Glance
Power: 9V-18V DC
negative tip 2.1mm jack. 200mA or greater
+
heavy / heavier: used to toggle between the 2 channels
and to bypass the pedal. LEDs indicate which channel is
active at any given time. When no LEDs are lit, the pedal
is bypassed.
mid freq: allows you to select the center frequency
of the mid band EQ.
gain: controls how much gain is added in each channel.
The heavier channel has more gain available than the
heavy channel.
weight: changes the character of the low end. Low
settings will give you a tighter bass response and will
sharpen up palm muted riffs. Higher settings add
more size to the bottom end.
The weight control is best used in conjunction with
the low EQ. Set the character of the low end with the
weight control and the overall level of the low end
with the low EQ band.
mid: allows you to add or subtract the frequency
selected with the mid freq switch. The 12 o’clock
setting is 0 dB, no boost or cut, and the extreme
boost and cut is about 10 dB.
