The Empress ParaEQ MKII Deluxe packs four new filters and vastly improved Q controls into a box half the size of the original ParaEQ! From the +/- 15dB boost/cut on all three bands to the extended adjustability of the fully sweepable Q controls, this pedal’s slimmed-down size makes no compromises over the original unit, and it’s even been upgraded with a vastly improved headroom. In fact, the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe’s 107.9dB signal to noise ratio, 0.03% introduced distortion, and 27V functionality deliver a clear, noise-free sound that’s simply unprecedented in a stompbox format. A 30dB boost section rounds out the ParaEQ MKII, providing everything from a subtle push to a long signal chain, to taking your favorite tube amp into raunchy overdrive territory. A worthy addition to the trailblazing Empress catalog of pedals, the ParaEQ MKII shatters the limitations of stompbox equalization!

The ParaEQ MKII Deluxe’s four filters and sweepable Q controls take the formidable formula of Empress equalization to a whole new level. The 12dB/oct highpass and lowpass filters take your sound-shaping potential even further, making it a breeze to carve up a signal for any sonic application. Next, the shelving filters trim and tailor your lows and highs in an exceptionally organic manner, bringing this little equalizer’s utility up to the realm of full-on studio rack gear. Finally, the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe’s Q controls have been upgraded from the notched positions of the standard version to fully sweepable functionality — perfect for treating pesky peaks and problem frequencies.

A 3-band EQ section is the core of the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe, providing you with the power to sculpt and fine-tune your sound with stunning all-analog sonics. The ParaEQ MKII Deluxe allows for serious modification of your sound, but the true character is never lost — running a guitar, bass, or any other instrument through the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe still sounds like your instrument, only much better!

A little bit of noise is simply part of the deal when it comes to pedals, right? Not when you’re running the Empress ParaEQ MKII Deluxe. This pedal is designed to match the squeaky-clean operation of studio-grade equalization units, with an incredible 107.9dB signal to noise ratio that’s almost unheard of in a standard EQ stompbox format. In addition, the MKII Deluxe kicks up the headroom significantly over its previous iteration with a 27V design, all but eliminating clipping and unwanted artifacts. Finally, the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe introduces a minute level of distortion into your signal — 0.03% to be exact, ensuring that you hear your instrument, and your instrument only!
