Manufacturer's Description

The ParaEq MKII Deluxe updates Empress’ classic parametric EQ with powerful new features to bring studio quality EQ to your pedalboard. The ParaEq MKII launch was the biggest in Empress history, so to celebrate they have released this striking black sparkle colourway, limited to 500 pieces worldwide.

There’s no better tool than parametric EQ for smooth, transparent sound, precise control, and polished tone that fits perfectly in a mix. The ParaEq MKII Deluxe features three parametric bands, four additional filters, and up to 30dB of clean boost. It operates internally at 27V for high clean headroom, and offers true or buffered bypass.

Powerful Parametric EQ

The pedal features 3 parametric bands, each with up to 15dB of boost and cut and fully variable bandwidth. The lower knobs control high-pass, low-pass, and low- and high-shelf Baxandall filters. It’s the perfect tool whether you need wide, smooth curves or tight surgical precision. The pedal also operates internally at 27V, close to rackmount studio gear, for enough clean headroom to handle even the most aggressive frequency boosts.

Footswitchable Boost

Kick in up to 30dB of gain to help a solo cut through the mix, or to push your preamp into overdrive. You can set the boost to only process the signal while the EQ is active, or to function fully independently - almost like having a separate EQ and boost pedal on your board.

True or Buffered Bypass

The ParaEq MKII Deluxe offers both true bypass for maximum transparency, and buffered bypass to protect against signal loss over long cable runs.
