Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Heavy is a dual-channel high-gain distortion pedal built for a broad range of aggressive guitar sounds, from mid-focused ’80s metal to scooped, down-tuned modern settings. Set the two channels similarly for a solo boost, or shape them as separate voices with each channel’s mid control, mid-frequency selector, and weight control. A global hi/low EQ lets you refine the pedal around an amp-and-cabinet combination, while the responsive noise gate is designed to keep operation silent even at extreme gain settings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Setting one high-gain channel as a solo boost against a similarly voiced main channel.
- Creating contrasting high-gain channel voices through mid-frequency and low-end adjustments.
- Refining a heavy rig around a particular amp and cabinet combination.
