Enjoy three diverse flavors of distortion while retaining a supertight low end with Distortion from Empress Effects, an aptly named gain-boosting pedal that offers natural compression like a high-gain amp. With high and low shelving EQs, you can sculpt your tone perfectly, whether on guitar or bass.

Separate input and output gain controls allow you to find the perfect amount of distortion. True bypass ensures your signal remains pristine and untouched when not being processed. And with a rugged die-cast aluminum case in a highly compact form factor, this pedal handmade in Canada will last for years to come and save precious space on your pedalboard.
