Here's what Empress say about the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe Parametric EQ

The #1 EQ pedal returns – better than ever! We've brought back the most sought after Parametric EQ pedal with groundbreaking upgrades. We kept everything people loved about the original ParaEq and added more fidelity and control.

The original ParaEQ has been loved and trusted by musicians on a variety of instruments for over a decade. The ParaEQ MKII Deluxe features a low-noise, transparent signal path that is extremely versatile. With three fully parametric bands, you can simultaneously achieve broad tonal shaping and precise fine-tuning to sculpt your perfect sound.

The ParaEQ MKII Deluxe will appeal to players who:

  • Need high-pass and low-pass filters for precision work at the frequency extremes
  • Want the glorious sound of Bandaxall filters for sparkling high end or extra weight in the low end
  • Want to be prepared for any EQ situation

"Sometimes I want my single coils to act more humbuckery. The ParaEq MKII lets me dial in the tone with scientific precision." – Paul Gilbert

"The ParaEq is a studio-grade Swiss Army knife of tone control."  –  Aaron Marshal, Intervals  

"The ParaEq MKII Deluxe lets me dial in the perfect settings with extreme detail, and feels completely transparent. It's now a staple on my pedalboard!" – Emily Hopkins, harpist extrodinaire

"Seriously bangin. The ParaEq MkII is a stunner. Shapes up all my basses in a sweet way. Super usable EQ." – Timothy J Lefebvre, David Bowie, Empire of the Sun, Sting, John Mayer

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Deluxe

Deluxe is used to describe instruments or equipment that offer upgraded features, materials, or specifications compared to a standard model. This can include improved components, enhanced finishes, expanded controls, or refinements aimed at higher performance and usability.

Deluxe versions are designed for players who want extra versatility, comfort, or tonal options without moving into fully custom territory. They typically balance premium details with practicality, making them a popular choice for musicians looking for a step up in quality and features.

EQ

EQ, or equalisation, is used to shape the tonal balance of a sound by boosting or cutting specific frequency ranges. Common controls include bass, mid, and treble, or more detailed bands that allow precise adjustment of problem areas or tonal character.

EQ is an essential tool in guitar rigs, recording, and live sound, helping instruments sit properly in a mix and sound clear without unwanted harshness or muddiness. It can be used subtly to refine tone or more aggressively to dramatically reshape a sound.

MKII

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
