“It’s an amazing pedal that shapes not only bass but anything you wanna seriously pinpoint frequencies with. 10/10.”
– Tim Lefebvre, Grammy-winning session bassist (David Bowie, Tedeschi Trucks Band)
Based on the success of Empress’s Bass Compressor and the popularity of the ParaEq MKII Deluxe among bass players, they knew it was time to make a proper EQ solution for bass instruments. The Bass ParaEq features bass-tuned frequency ranges, a dynamic low shelf, a 10MΩ Hi-Z input for piezos, and an auto-detecting balanced output for clean DI tones and long cable runs.
Whether it’s electric bass, upright, or even synth—this thing handles it all with surgical precision and musical transparency.
Intuitive Controls to Craft Your Tone
Three bands of parametric EQ, each with fully sweepable Q controls, allow for broad tone shaping or surgical precision. A newly designed dynamic low shelf adjusts its range depending on how much boost or cut is applied, offering intuitive control over the foundation of a bass tone. The high- and low-pass filters help remove unwanted low-end rumble or harsh upper frequencies, while the clean boost section delivers up to +30dB of gain—ideal for solos, make-up gain, or hitting the front end of an amp harder.
Integrate With Your Setup Easily
The 10MΩ high-impedance input makes the Bass ParaEq a great match for upright basses with piezo pickups, maintaining clarity and low-end response. An auto-detecting balanced output makes it easy to send a clean signal over long cable runs without tone loss or extra gear. With 27V of internal headroom, a low-noise signal path, and Empress’s signature transparent EQ circuitry, the Bass ParaEq brings studio-quality tone-shaping to the pedalboard—purpose-built for bass.
