The Heavy Menace is the most versatile distortion pedal we’ve ever created.  It’s an evolution of our 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.

Along with the white-on-black graphics, the pedal offers all the features that made the ParaEq MKII Deluxe our top-selling pedal of 2023, with 3 parametric EQ bands, 4 additional filters, 30dB of footswitchable boost, 27V internal operation for pristine headroom, and your choice of true or buffered bypass.

ParaEq MKII Deluxe Black

This classic sounding fuzz offers smooth, rich sustain with great note definition. A tighter low end makes it ideal for full chords as well as sustaining single notes.

Fuzz

When we released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Now, based on our users’ valuable feedback, we’ve taken everything great about our original Compressor and made it even better. 

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a ‘tilt’ tone eq control, and a selectable sidechain high pass filter built into the Compressor’s detection circuit. Oh, and the whole package is now half the size and available in two snazzy colours!
