{"product_id":"empress-distortion","title":"Empress Effects - Distortion Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEmpress Effects Distortion Pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e is a true bypass headbanger of a pedal, featuring three independent flavors - Crunch, Mild, and Lead - that all expertly emulate a high-gain amp. Each setting retains the tight low-end and compression a good distortion pedal should have, and it does so without going overboard or being over-the-top. The Crunch setting is great for heavier rhythm playing - the James Hetfield of the three. Mild offers a more subtle, overdriven-like breakup that is best controlled with your guitar's volume knob. The Lead setting - the Kirk Hammett, if you will - is loaded with gain and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has two EQ controls, Treble and Bass, a Gain control for the degree of distortion, and a volume control in the Output knob. A sweet-sounding and straight forward pedal, the \u003cstrong\u003eEmpress Effects Distortion Pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e does exactly what needs to be done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":1159226800,"sku":"EMP DIST","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/products\/Empress_Distortion_stock-front.jpg?v=1423865466","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/empress-distortion","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
