Empress Effects - ParaEq Bass Pedal

The Empress Bass ParaEq is the only parametric EQ pedal on the market built from the ground up for bass. It gives players studio-grade tone shaping in a compact pedal format that is purpose-built for low-end instruments, not just adapted from guitar gear.

Following the success of our Bass Compressor—and after hearing from countless players who were already using the ParaEq MKII Deluxe on bass—we knew it was time to give bassists more than a “good enough” EQ. The Bass ParaEq delivers the same transparent, tone-sweetening power that made the Deluxe a favourite, but with frequency ranges, filters, and features tailored specifically for bass.

With a dynamic low shelf, bass-tuned EQ bands, a Hi-Z input for upright players, and an auto-detecting balanced output, it’s built to give bassists the control they’ve always deserved—on stage, in the studio, everywhere.

Features:

• EQ/boost pedal with linked or independent switching
• 27V internal operation for high clean headroom
• 3 parametric bands with 15dB of boost/cut
• Variable bass-tuned bandwidth per band
• High-pass, low shelf, high shelf, and low-pass filters
• Footswitchable boost with up to 30dB of gain
• Auto-detecting balanced output for long cable runs
• Selectable Hi-Z 10MΩ input for piezo pickups
