Empress Effects ParaEQ MKII

I wanted to even out some resonant peaks before the pre amp and this has been perfect.
It’s super easy to find the sweet spot that you’re looking for. The narrow q is very precise and is very effective for cleaning any peak frequencies.
The gain cut and boost is huge per band. You can really overdo it. Without even touching the boost switch you could get into the “Shellac” tone territory.
Then the boost switch has enough juice to drive any amp.

Negatives:
I wish I bought the plus. The 3 bands alone are amazing. I would like to have a separate cut and shelf in the highs and lows.
Secondly, the boost function only works when the eq is on.
Finally the pots are a little too sensitive. It’s easy to nudge them.
