Empress Effects Heavy Menace

I bought this one because I found a lot of top reviews on YouTube. Everything they say or that you heard is true. Nice tones, good saturation, massive gain. Sounds like a tube amp. I had one issue: my noise gate occasionnaly did shut and did not open again. Crap if you can't trust it. Especially when doing gigs. Send it back to Thomann after contacting the support and in no time a new one was send over to me. So: thank you to support service, perfect customer service. Anyways, when in doubt, sell a kidney and buy it. Would be 5 stars if I did not have an issue with it. But still one hell of a pedal that does it all. (as long its loud)
