The ParaEq MKII is a three-band parametric EQ with a clean boost, and the original ParaEq has been a studio-style fix on pedalboards for more than a decade. Each band has its own frequency, gain (15dB of boost or cut) and a switchable Q, so you can make a broad tone move or go after one exact frequency, like a feedback ring with an acoustic or the mud in a humbucker.
It runs internally at 27V, which gives it a lot of clean headroom before anything clips. The boost gives up to 30dB and can be switched with the EQ or on its own, and you choose true or buffered bypass. The circuit is deliberately minimal, which is why a parametric keeps the rest of your signal intact in a way a graphic EQ doesn't.
If you want high- and low-pass filters and Baxandall shelving as well, the ParaEq MKII Deluxe adds them in the same footprint. Built by Empress in Ottawa.
