We kept everything people loved about the original ParaEq and added more fidelity and control. Graphic equalizers provide a convenient visual sense of the EQ curve. However, there is a tradeoff in transparency and precision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe graph here shows the ParaEq MKII Deluxe (cyan) and a 7-band graphic EQ pedal (magenta) both providing a +4dB boost at around 2 kHz. As can be seen, the ParaEq is much more precise in the changes it can make, whereas the graphic EQ affects nearly the entire frequency spectrum. Furthermore, at around 10kHz the ParaEq is providing unity gain, whereas the graphic EQ is attenuating the signal by nearly 6dB. This makes the ParaEq a more transparent circuit than the graphic EQ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis combination of transparency and precision is why recording studio control rooms are dominated by parametric equalizers, and why they’re a great choice for creative and corrective EQ on your pedalboard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original ParaEq has been loved and trusted by musicians on a variety of instruments for over a decade. Both the ParaEq MKII and the ParaEq MKII Deluxe feature a low-noise, transparent signal path that is extremely versatile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith three fully parametric bands, you can simultaneously achieve broad tonal shaping and precise fine-tuning to sculpt your perfect sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ParaEQ MKII Deluxe will appeal to players who:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed high-pass and low-pass filters for precision work at the frequency extremes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant the glorious sound of Bandaxall filters for sparkling high end or extra weight in the low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant to be prepared for any EQ situation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/b\u003e: 1MΩ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/b\u003e: 100Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/b\u003e (-3dB): 22Hz - 25kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion\u003c\/b\u003e: \u0026lt; 0.05%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoise\u003c\/b\u003e: \u0026gt; 107dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadroom\u003c\/b\u003e: +30dBu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Voltage\u003c\/b\u003e: 9VDC Centre-Negative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Current\u003c\/b\u003e: 300mA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Input Connector\u003c\/b\u003e: 2.1mm Barrel Connector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight (Enclosure Only)\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.5”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight (Including Controls):\u003c\/b\u003e 2.5”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLength\u003c\/b\u003e: 3.5”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWidth\u003c\/b\u003e: 4.5”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e: 1lb","brand":"Empress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40265505144967,"sku":"PEQ2","price":274.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/empress-effects-and-pedals-eq-empress-paraeq-mkii-eq-pedal-peq2-30028572131463.jpg?v=1669669858","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/products\/empress-paraeq-mkii-eq-pedal-1634252","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
