In fact, the ParaEQ MKII’s 107.9dB signal to noise ratio, 0.03% introduced distortion, and 27V functionality deliver a clear, noise-free sound that’s simply unprecedented in a stompbox format! A 30dB boost section rounds out the ParaEQ MKII, providing everything from a subtle push to a long signal chain, to taking your favourite tube amp into raunchy overdrive territory.

From the +\/- 15dB boost\/cut on all three bands to the extended adjustability of the fully sweepable Q controls, this pedal’s slimmed-down size makes no compromises over the original unit, and it’s even been upgraded with a vastly improved headroom. In fact, the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe’s 107.9dB signal to noise ratio, 0.03% introduced distortion, and 27V functionality deliver a clear, noise-free sound that’s simply unprecedented in a stompbox format. A 30dB boost section rounds out the ParaEQ MKII, providing everything from a subtle push to a long signal chain, to taking your favorite tube amp into raunchy overdrive territory.

Next, the shelving filters trim and tailor your lows and highs in an exceptionally organic manner, bringing this little equalizer’s utility up to the realm of full-on studio rack gear. Finally, the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe’s Q controls have been upgraded from the notched positions of the standard version to fully sweepable functionality — perfect for treating pesky peaks and problem frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3-band EQ section is the core of the ParaEQ MKII Deluxe, providing you with the power to sculpt and fine-tune your sound with stunning all-analog sonics.

In addition, the MKII Deluxe kicks up the headroom significantly over its previous iteration with a 27V design, all but eliminating clipping and unwanted artifacts.

A sweepable midrange EQ sits before the overdrive stage, allowing you to choose which frequencies hit the circuit harder.

Used before the overdrive, it increases saturation and changes the feel under the fingers. Used after the overdrive, it works as a powerful volume lift for solos or pushes the front end of your amp with authority. A clean mix control lets you blend your unaffected signal back in, helping preserve pick attack, note clarity, and low-end definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo fine-tune the final output, the Empress Drive also includes active bass and treble shelving EQ after the mix stage, giving you precise tonal control without compromising balance. An adaptive noise gate keeps higher gain settings tight and controlled while still allowing sustain and touch sensitivity to come through naturally. Add in the clipping meter, high-headroom design, and buffered bypass, and the result is a compact all-in-one gain station that covers far more ground than a typical overdrive pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhether you want to turn a clean amp into something raw and vintage-inspired, stack gain with intention, or build a more refined and articulate drive sound, the Empress Drive gives you the tools to do it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll-analogue gain architecture for rich, tube-like overdrive with natural compression and dynamic response\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSweepable pre-overdrive mid EQ to control which frequencies push the circuit into saturation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFlexible boost section with up to +30dB of gain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBoost can be placed before or after the overdrive stage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eClean mix control to retain clarity, articulation, and low-end definition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eActive bass and treble shelving EQ for precise post-drive tone shaping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAdaptive noise gate that reduces hum while preserving sustain and playing dynamics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnalogue clipping meter for visual gain staging feedback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHigh-headroom design for strong signal handling without unwanted clipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBuffered bypass for consistent signal integrity across long cable runs and complex pedalboards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompact enclosure with top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard integration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eApproximate dimensions - 2.5” x 4.8” x 2.6”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Empress Effects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41365395537978,"sku":"Empress-DRIV","price":529.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/empress-effects-drive-tube-like-overdrive-w-noise-gate-advanced-tone-control-empress-driv-gsus4-7074234.jpg?v=1778081059"}],"url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/collections\/empress-effects\/effects_buffer.oembed","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
