We've brought back the most sought after Parametric EQ pedal with groundbreaking updates.

More Control

Whether you're trying to cut through a mix or fix a feedback issue, you need precision! The ParaEq MKII offers the most control of any pedal EQ on the market.

More Power

The ParaEq MKII pedals operates internally at 27V, providing clean headroom without unwanted clipping.

More Purity


We’re able to offer the most control without degradation to the tone due to minimal circuit topology­—the opposite of graphic EQs.

The original ParaEq has been loved and trusted by musicians on a variety of instruments for over a decade. 

With three fully parametric bands, you can simultaneously achieve broad tonal shaping and precise fine-tuning to sculpt your perfect sound.


Why Parametric over Graphic EQ?

Graphic equalizers provide a convenient visual sense of the EQ curve. However, there is a tradeoff in transparency and precision.

The ParaEq MKII Deluxe excels in precision and transparency compared to a standard 7-band graphic EQ pedal. When both are set to provide a boost, the ParaEq MKII Deluxe offers a much more focused adjustment, affecting only the targeted frequencies. In contrast, the graphic EQ alters a broader range of the frequency spectrum. Moreover, while the ParaEq keeps the rest of the signal unchanged, the graphic EQ can unintentionally reduce other parts of the signal. This makes the ParaEq MKII Deluxe a more transparent and accurate tool for shaping your sound.

This 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.
