At least one Boss MT-2 on the pedal board.

Huh, just watched a 12Tone video today with the exact same title. Good watch and great channel if you're interested in pop music theory

Heavy comes from the rhythm. Driving drums, chunky riffs, and just like with funk, heavy can be found in the spaces between sounds.
