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!
