Each band offers ±15 dB of gain control and the pedal also features adjustable high- and low-pass filters, just like the ParaEq MKII. A selectable 10-megohm Hi-Z input allows the Bass ParaEq to perfectly match high-impedance inputs like piezo pickups and upright basses. An adjustable clean boost with a dedicated footswitch allows you to provide more gain before an FX chain or drive the input of a tube amp. With an internal operating voltage of 27V, close to that of rack-mounted equipment, you get significant headroom and clarity regardless of gain levels. And with buffered bypass, you can enjoy warmth and signal integrity over long and complex cable runs.
Similarly, these wide shifts produced by graphic EQs also tend to attenuate frequencies that parametric EQs keep unchanged. This is why professional studios, and most creatives, prefer parametric EQs.
- Fully variable- and sweepable-Q control on each band for Narrow (equal to a Q of 4, or 1/3 octave), Medium (a Q of 2.5, affecting 2/3 octave), and Wide (a Q of 1, affecting 1.5 octaves), as well as in-between settings
- Low-frequency control sweeps between 35 and 500 Hz
- Mid-frequency control from 100 Hz to 1.6 kHz
- High-frequency knob sweeps from 375 Hz to 9.7 kHz
- ±15 dB gain control on each band
