Empress Effects ParaEq
The Empress Effects ParaEq pedal is a relatively straightforward device that accomplishes its task with the utmost efficiency. Unlike the EQ sections of many amplifiers, the ParaEq boasts an exceptional range of control that provides exemplary quality in a compact chassis.
The pedal’s signal path features inherently transparent components that operate at low noise and afford compelling tone shaping capabilities. It maintains the integrity of the input signal, allowing for a clean boost without any coloration.
