Are you someone that’s always striving to enhance your tone? It’s time to un-leash the power of the Empress ParaEQ w/Boost on your instrument – sadly, it may piss you off that you haven’t been using it for years.

Most Beta testers were not excited to test this pedal for us – it didn’t have the bells and whistles of the superdelay…but they were pleasantly surprised. Here are a few comments:

I'm beginning to dislike my clean tone without this pedal on.
- Ian, electric guitar player.

Wow, the eq is the best I’ve heard in a pedal. It out-performs my _______ eq and I’m able to get a huge variety of tones. I also love that it’s so small
– Jake, upright bass player and recording engineer.

What's been really nice about this pedal is how fast I can get to really nice sounds with it. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting to have to hunt for a while. That's been my experience with DAW-based para eq plugins. Not so with the pedal. It's very quick to sweep and find a sweet frequency spot, both cutting and boosting.
– Peter, guitar player.

Design Philosophy

The Empress ParaEq w/Boost is designed to be a simple device that does its job extremely well. We noticed that the EQ section of many instrument amplifiers offer a very limited range of control. We designed the Empress ParaEq w/Boost to give musicians a powerful, musical, high quality EQ in a conveniently small package. The signal path of the ParaEq w/Boost is comprised of the highest quality components chosen for their transparency, powerful tone shaping capabilities, and low operating noise. With the Empress ParaEq w/Boost your instrument will still sound like your instrument, only better.

Features & Specifications

• Ultra Transparent Sweet Sounding EQ – enhance your sound without masking the tone of your instrument.
• Lots of Control - with switchable q, fully over-lapping sweepable frequency selection, and 15dB of cut and boost you’ll get all the control you need.
• Ultra-Quiet – You’ve come to expect our pedals to be noise free and we’ve delivered once again. If you put this at the front of your chain and boost a bit you’ll also cut down on the noise your other pedals are introducing.
• Loads of Headroom - Internally switchable to run off 9/12/18V power supplies.
• 30dB of Boost - making it an ideal candidate before long effects chains and overdriving tube amps.
• Pristine Clean Sound – We measured the distortion to be less than 0.03%. Pretty remarkable for a guitar pedal.
• True Bypass - The Empress ParaEq w/Boost employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.
