Great demo! The adaptive noise gate with the key input seemed very extra, then your example made it very simple, practical, and effective. Love seeing my old amp on PG!
Really like your playing style, quite some stretches there to great effect. This pedal lost my purchase as it is vitally important to my sound to be able to control a 3kHz boost and the mids control only goes up to 2.5, ah well at least I've saved £250.
Seems really strange to use a footswitch for the gate. Most folks playing hewvy stuff will keep it on at all time, and an "always on" switch voulf have been added to the side. The second footswitch would be better used for practically anything else: boost, change modes, mids, etc.
This pedal is a pain in the ass. It most definitely not a plug and go. Hold both switches plug it in nothing. Hold bypass down unplug plug in. Nothing went on and on for 40 min finally worked great. 6 months later changed out a pedal another 20 min trying to get it to work. This Bs happened at a I gig I smashed it in the alley and used another guitar players Revv G3 easier plug n play.

Zach Wish for the win! Best demo for this pedal i’ve heard yet!

I saw the Gretsch in the thumbnail and was hoping it was Zach! Great tone as always
You go Zach! 🤟🔥

Empress make such excellent quality pedals ! And their sound is awesome !
I’ve given up on pedals but this I think I’m going to buy 😊
nice gain structure, very cool
Nice Zack RIPS!!!!
Reminds me of some settings in the Dr. Scientist Elements. Very cool!
Great sounding distortion,might have to pick one up hope the cost isn’t to distorted.
Mine arrives in the next hour 🤪
Wow. Impressive
The noise gate closes the deal on what this pedal does through a blank canvas amp.
Thank you so much for plugging it into a fender and not into a super lead or a friedman like most of the reviewers do
Love the shirt

Zach is the tone wizard. Glad to see he’s working with PG.

Why would happen if this was hooked up to something like a UAD OX Stomp?
should add some goth elements
are yall going to do luke bryan?
Versatiles for you, maybe isn't for me...
Do we need another distortion?

One chapter reads “Bassman” and should be “Band Master”
Saw that, too!
