The Empress Effects Heavy Overdrive offers a huge range of high gain tones. This versatile pedal delivers many different tones such as crisp mid-driven 80s metal to modern down-turned brutality. The Heavy Overdrive benefits from having two independent channels which 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. Separate weight controls can be added in 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. With all these great features it is a worthwhile investment for your pedalboard.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
