Empress Effects Bass ParaEq EQ and Boost Effects Pedal Purple

The Empress Effects Bass ParaEq EQ and boost effects pedal delivers uncompromising studio-quality tone shaping in a compact, bass-focused format. Designed specifically for low-end instruments, this pedal offers three parametric EQ bands, a dynamic low shelf and up to 30dB of footswitchable boost. Featuring a 10 Mohm high-impedance input for piezo pickups and an auto-detecting balanced output, it's optimized for both electric and upright bass players. With 27V internal operation for pristine headroom, the Bass ParaEq ensures every nuance of your instrument's tone remains intact—whether you're on stage or in the studio.

Three Parametric EQ Bands for Precise Tone Control

The ParaEq's three parametric EQ bands are engineered to overlap strategically in bass-relevant frequency ranges, enabling precise control over your tone. With 15dB of boost or cut per band, you can enhance foundational frequencies like 200Hz for added weight while taming muddiness around 300Hz. The variable Q control allows for broad, sweeping adjustments or detailed, surgical cuts to refine problem areas. Whether you're sculpting your bass tone for live performance or studio recording, these EQ bands deliver the precision and flexibility you need to craft a clear, balanced sound.

Dynamic Low Shelf for Adaptive Low-End Shaping

The Bass ParaEq's dynamic low shelf offers unparalleled control over the low end, automatically adjusting its break frequency as you boost or cut. This intelligent design ensures a musical response, providing broad tonal adjustments for warmth and depth, or tighter control for focused bass lines. Ideal for cleaning up muddiness without sacrificing impact, the dynamic low shelf is perfect for bass players seeking refined low-end clarity. This feature makes the Bass ParaEq a reliable tool for maintaining bass presence in complex mixes.

High-Impedance Input and Balanced Output for Versatile Integration

Designed with versatility in mind, this EQ pedal features a selectable 10 Mohm high-impedance input tailored for piezo-equipped upright basses. Traditional pedals often fail to preserve the full richness of piezo pickups, resulting in thin, dull tones—but this input ensures pristine signal integrity. Additionally, the auto-detecting balanced output automatically adapts when using long cable runs, minimizing interference and preserving your tone. These features make the Bass ParaEq an essential tool for upright players and electric bassists requiring seamless integration into any rig.

Road-Ready Design With Exceptional Headroom

Built for demanding performance environments, the Bass ParaEq operates internally at 27V for exceptionally clean headroom, maintaining clarity even with high-output basses and aggressive playing styles. Its robust construction ensures reliability during extensive touring or heavy studio use. Paired with high-impedance input and auto-detecting balanced output, it's a pedal designed to keep your signal pristine and dynamic under any playing condition, making it a dependable choice for professional bassists.
