Description
The Empress ParaEq MKII Deluxe is a tone shaper's dream-perfect for players who need surgical EQ control without sacrificing transparency. Whether you're fine-tuning your tone in a complex pedalboard or managing stage noise in a live setting, this pedal gives you the tools to clean up, sculpt, and boost with precision. It's especially useful for session players, touring musicians, or anyone who wants to get the most out of a good amp or instrument.
You've got three fully parametric bands with up to ±15dB of boost or cut, so you can dig in deep to isolate problem frequencies or enhance what you like most. On top of that, you get Baxandall-style shelving EQ for lows and highs, a high-pass and low-pass filter for cleaning up unwanted rumble or harshness, and a powerful 30dB boost section that's flexible enough to push your preamp or compensate for a long signal chain. Internally, it runs at 27V for added headroom, which means cleaner dynamics and no unexpected distortion when you really lean into it.
It's all analog and ultra quiet, with a design that keeps your tone intact across the full frequency range. We like these because they just do their job-no added color, no weird artifacts, just clarity and control. If you're chasing clarity, shaping a finicky rig, or just want a pedal that can boost and EQ with studio-grade precision, the ParaEq MKII Deluxe is the one.
