With customizable clipping options via external dip switches, settings for dynamic "Amp-Like" and edgy "KingTone" voicings, and a Distortion Mode for Marshall-esque gain, the Heavy Hand suits both humbuckers and single-coils, offering robust construction and practical enhancements like a soft footswitch, protected knobs, and a custom CNC aluminium enclosure.

The Heavy Hand is the standalone version of the side B of the Duellist pedal, featuring the same high-quality components and pristine tone. It includes several unique features, such as a dedicated "Body" control that allows users to fine-tune the amount of added low-end to their tone. Additionally, the "Edge" setting lets users introduce an edgy, tube-like quality to their sound, adding versatility and depth.
This pedal also offers customisable clipping options with new external dip switches, allowing users to adjust the symmetry for gritty, harmonic rock lead tones. The "Amp-Like" setting enhances dynamics and chunkiness with a wide-open sound stage.

For those seeking a more aggressive tone, the Distortion Mode adds a distortion clipping circuit, delivering a tube-like, Marshall-esque gain stage.
Whether you play with humbuckers or single-coil pickups, the Heavy Hand delivers the sustain and rich harmonics that guitarists crave. Its robust construction and innovative features make it a standout choice for achieving high-quality overdrive tones.
In addition to its advanced tonal capabilities, the Heavy Hand offers practical enhancements for ease of use and durability.

The KingTone setting on this pedal enhances your tone by adding thickness and a sharp, edgy bite, creating a massive and unique sound. It adjusts the pedal's overall voicing, delivering a vocal-like top end with added bite and a valve-like chug in the low end for a chunky, powerful tone. However, to fully benefit from the KingTone setting, please ensure the pedal is placed first in your signal chain, just as if you had Jesse's incredible King Tone Switch installed in your guitar. Otherwise, the setting won't function as intended.
