Notes: A 5-band graphic equalizer pedal for powerful and accurate tone shaping of clean or distorted guitar tones. This unit shines when used for pre-gain mid boosting to give a more focussed overdrive or post-gain scooping to sit heavy riffs back in the mix. Clean signals can benefit from cutting harsh frequencies or as a tone-dependent lead boost.

5 frequency + 1 master volume sliders
9V battery or optional DC adapter operation
Power supply: 9V battery (PP3 included) or optional DC adapter
Construction: Aluminium housing with rubber base
EQ controls: 100Hz, 300Hz, 1kHz, 3kHz, 5kHz, Volume

Notes: Sculpt your tone to any shape with the LPB-3!

The effect that launched Electro-Harmonix gets a makeover with the Electro-Harmonix LPB-3 Linear Power Booster & EQ. With an active EQ featuring a powerful Parametric Mids control and up to a walloping 33dB of boost, the LPB-3 is the perfect tool for any tone tailoring task. Boost your sound into saturated bliss with transformative precision like never before.

Housed in EHX's Nano-sized chassis, the LPB-3 is capable of boosting up to +33dB of clean gain with the powerful tone shaping of a 3-band EQ with parametric Mids. The active 3-Band EQ features TREBLE and BASS knobs to control the highs and lows plus a powerful parametric Mids control with adjustable MID FREQ and Q. BOOST sets the overall output of the pedal with the MAX switch toggling between 20dB and 33dB of maximum boost. Use the PRE-GAIN knob to fine-tune the total gain and volume of the boost.

This booster pedal's additional features include selectable Buffered/True Bypass switching and internally extended 30V power rails for enhanced headroom.

Notes: The #1 EQ pedal returns - better than ever

Empress Effects have brought back the most sought-after Parametric EQ pedal, with groundbreaking upgrades.

Everything people loved about the original ParaEq was kept, and more fidelity and control have been added.

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 Sweetness

Effortlessly sweeten your tone with beautiful sounding, super smooth Baxandall filters for broad high and low frequency shelving adjustments on the Deluxe.

More Power

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

More Purity

This pedal is able to offer the most control without degradation to the tone due to minimal circuit topology00-the opposite of graphic EQs.

Why Choose Parametric EQ over Graphic EQ?
Parametric VS Graphic EQ Graph
Graphic equalizers provide a convenient visual sense of the EQ curve. However, there is a tradeoff in transparency and precision.

The graph here shows the ParaEq MKII Deluxe (cyan) and a 7-band graphic EQ pedal (magenta) both providing a +4dB boost at around 2 kHz. As can be seen, the ParaEq is much more precise in the changes it can make, whereas the graphic EQ affects nearly the entire frequency spectrum. Furthermore, at around 10kHz the ParaEq is providing unity gain, whereas the graphic EQ is attenuating the signal by nearly 6dB. This makes the ParaEq a more transparent circuit than the graphic EQ.

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.

Which ParaEq Do You Need?

The original ParaEq has been loved and trusted by musicians on a variety of instruments for over a decade. Both the ParaEq MKII and the ParaEq MKII Deluxe feature a low-noise, transparent signal path that is extremely versatile.

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

The ParaEQ MKII Deluxe will appeal to players who:

Need high-pass and low-pass filters for precision work at the frequency extremes
Want the glorious sound of Bandaxall filters for sparkling high end or extra weight in the low end
Want to be prepared for any EQ situation

Supplier's Notes:
On-stage mastering

Based on Endorphin.es' Golden Master eurorack module and our experience in electronic live music performances, Endorphin.es developed Golden Master - a multiband processor pedal to deliver high pressure audio for live concerts and venues: sound loud without overloading the master limiter.

Multiband processor consists of EQ, compressor and mid-side

24 bit 96 kHz audio I/O with 32 bit internal processing

Stereo enhancer for each of the 3 bands

High impedance inputs, pseudo-balanced outputs: works also as a DI-box on stage

One knob compressor per band along with global threshold allows you to intuitively achieve results

Dedicated expression pedal for master volume control

Two footswitches let you select presets and bypass with your feet
