What’s the difference between the Bass ParaEq and the ParaEq MKII Deluxe?

While the ParaEq MKII Deluxe is designed to work beautifully with any instrument, the Bass ParaEq is purpose-built for bass players—with features specifically engineered for low-end clarity and control:

Hi-Z Input for Piezo Pickups
Piezo-equipped instruments—like upright basses—often lose low-end when paired with standard guitar pedals. The Bass ParaEq features a 10MΩ high-impedance input to prevent that signal loss, preserving your full frequency range and avoiding the tone-sucking high-pass filter effect caused by impedance mismatches.

Balanced Output
The Bass ParaEq includes an auto-detecting balanced output, which supports TRS cables (or XLR via adapter) for long cable runs without signal degradation. It can be used at the end of your pedalboard or as a DI-style output for studio or live rigs.

Bass-Tailored EQ Ranges
The frequency bands on the Bass ParaEq are tuned to bass fundamentals—with ranges focused around 40Hz to 350Hz.

Its low-pass filter sweeps from 22kHz all the way down to 215Hz, perfect for rounding off highs or creating synthy warmth.

And the dynamic low shelf adapts as you boost or cut, giving you intuitive control over the bottom end—like a hi-fi system that knows what your tone needs.
