The Empress Effects ParaEq MKII brings back one of Empress†most beloved pedal designs with exciting new features. The original ParaEq, released in 2010, steadily grew in reputation for its visceral tone-shaping, extreme transparency, and intuitive controls, rivaled only by studio-grade equipment. With the reintroduction of the ParaEq, Empress have kept everything people loved about the original, but we took it to the next level. They have enhanced the already amazing audio path purity with lower noise circuitry and a huge 27V of headroom. They have also also managed to squeeze it all into a pedalboard friendly footprint with top-mounted jacks for maximum convenience.
