The Bass ParaEq is a parametric EQ designed for bass from the start rather than adapted from a guitar pedal. It keeps the layout of the ParaEq MKII Deluxe (three parametric bands, high- and low-pass filters, low and high shelves, a clean boost) and moves every range down to where a bass lives. The bands overlap where it matters, so you can add thickness at 200Hz and take mud out at 300Hz at the same time.
The low shelf is dynamic: its corner frequency moves as you boost or cut, broad when you want weight and tighter when you are trimming. Two switches on top are there for bass rigs. A Hi-Z input (10MΩ) suits the piezo pickup on an upright, and the output detects a balanced cable automatically for long runs to the desk. Internal 27V operation, buffered bypass, up to 30dB of footswitchable boost. Finished in lavender and built in Ottawa.
