Para EQ

The Empress ParaEq w/Boost is designed to be a simple device that does its job extremely well. We noticed that the EQ section of many instrument amplifiers offer a very limited range of control. We designed the Empress ParaEq w/Boost to give musicians a powerful, musical, high quality EQ in a conveniently small package. The signal path of the ParaEq w/Boost is comprised of the highest quality components chosen for their transparency, powerful tone shaping capabilities, and low operating noise.

With the Empress ParaEq w/Boost your instrument will still sound like your instrument, only better.

Empress ParaEQ

Features of the Empress Para EQ

Ultra Transparent Sweet Sounding EQ – enhance your sound without masking the tone of your instrument.

Lots of Control - with switchable q, fully over-lapping sweepable frequency selection, and 15dB of cut and boost you’ll get all the control you need.

Ultra-Quiet – You’ve come to expect our pedals to be noise free and we’ve delivered once again. If you put this at the front of your chain and boost a bit you’ll also cut down on the noise your other pedals are introducing.

Loads of Headroom - Internally switchable to run off 9/12/18V power supplies.

30dB of Boost - making it an ideal candidate before long effects chains and overdriving tube amps.

Pristine Clean Sound – We measured the distortion to be less than 0.03%. Pretty remarkable for a guitar pedal.

True Bypass - The Empress ParaEq w/Boost employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.

Perfect Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 3.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.

45 Day Money Back Guarantee - If for any reason the ParaEq w/Boost isn't for you, send it back within 45 days for a refund. Read our Guarantee for more details. This guarantee does not cover Empress products not bought from www.empresseffects.com.

Two Year Warranty - The Empress ParaEq w/Boost comes with a two-year warranty. Read our Warranty for details. You can extend the warranty to 4 years by simply registering online.

The Empress ParaEq w/Boost does not run off of batteries. It is powered by a standard 9, 12 or 18VDC negative tip wall wart (like the BOSS PSA-120). Power supply sold seperately.

Super Delay

Features of the Empress Super Delay

The Empress Superdelay isn't your basic delay. Sure it does basic delay sounds, and it sounds better than anything else out there while doing them. But if all you want is a simple delay, the Empress Superdelay isn't for you. The Empress Superdelay is for musicians who want to be inspired by their pedals, not limited by them.

Killer Sound Quality - The Signal to Noise ratio is around 105dB.

2.8 Seconds of Delay Time - For your extra long delays.

8 modes - normal, tap, autoset (delay time is set by tempo played), reverse, rhythm mode (multitap), tape mode, misc (dynamic, gate), and 12 second looper.

Expression Pedal Input - allows you to control either mix or feedback with your foot.

High Pass/Low Pass Filter - high pass is good for electronic music, low pass is sweet for darker analog delay type sounds.

Fast/Slow Modulation - slow adds extra texture, fast is a little crazy.

8 Presets - Settings can be saved to 8 presets. With three stompswitches, accessing the presets is easy.

Tap Tempo with Ratios - many of the modes use tap tempo, and the ratio selection makes fast in-time delay times easy.

True Bypass - The Empress Superdelay employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.

Small Size - The enclosure measures approximately 5.7" by 3.75" by 1.75", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.

Two Year Warranty - The Empress Superdelay comes with a two-year warranty. Read our Warranty for details. You can extend the warranty to 4 years by simply registering online.

The Empress Superdelay does not run off of batteries. It comes with a power supply. The Empress Superdelay requires 300mA, positive tip, 9 to 12 VDC. Note that the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power does not supply enough current for the Empress Superdelay.

Tremelo

Features of the Empress Tremolo

The Empress Tremolo is an original design built from the ground up to include innovative features without sacrificing tone. The audio signal path is analog , but the tremolo effect is controlled digitally via opto technology.

Pristine Sound - The Empress Tremolo has to be heard to be believed. It's whisper quiet and free from the "LFO throb" usually associated with tremolos. We dare anyone to find a better sounding tremolo.

Waveform Selection - You can modulate your sound with three different waveforms. An asymmetrical tremolo was modelled after a '65 Fender Vibrolux (brown face) to give you the fullest tremolo sound possible. A square wave can be utilized if you're after a harder sound. And if you're looking for a more normal tremolo, you can use the triangle wave setting.

Tap Tempo - The Empress Trem averages your last four taps so it plays in sync with your music. You can also choose different tap to tremolo rate ratios. 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 are available.

Two Speed Mode - An exclusive feature to the Empress Trem. You're able to set two different rates, and switch between them using the tap tempo stompswitch. This is similar to playing through a Leslie cabinet and changing the speed.

Rhythms - Another exclusive feature. The Empress Trem will definiately do your run-of-the-mill tremolo sound to a tee. But you can also set it to play different rhythms. Check out the soundclips for examples.

Gain - A problem with most tremolos on the market is that when they're engaged, you hear a noticeable drop in volume. The Empress Trem solves this by having a gain stage on the output. It's able to deliver up to 6dB of gain without adding any distortion to the signal.

True Bypass - The Empress Trem employs true bypass, so you can be sure that it's not affecting the signal when disengaged.

Perfect Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 3.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.

Two Year Warranty - The Empress Tremolo comes with a two-year warranty. Read our Warranty for details.

The Empress Tremolo does not run off of batteries. It is powered by a standard 9VDC negative tip wall wart (like the BOSS PSA-120). Power supply sold seperately
