What do the tones of renowned guitarist such as Page, EVH and Johnson have in common? They all used the legendary echo machine EP-3 as a pre-amp. We've captured that magic in a new Xotic Effects pedal, the EP Booster. We've used the highest quality parts available with a discrete FET design and low impedance output, the EP Booster provides up to +20dB of unadulterated boost with multi-dimensional, shimmering highs and lows, and no ear fatigue. The internal DIP switches let you choose the boost frequencies, and EQ settings. A simple pure boost that pays reverence to the magical EP-3 and captures the celebrated tones of the world's most famous players. The EP-Booster,great tone starts here !

Das Empress Effects Bass ParaEq ist ein hochwertiges analoges parametrisches Equalizer- und Boost-Pedal, das speziell für Bassisten entwickelt wurde, die präzise Klangkontrolle suchen. Es verfügt über drei vollständig einstellbare parametrische EQ-Bänder mit variabler Q und ermöglicht eine Anhebung oder Absenkung von ±15 dB. Das Pedal beinhaltet Hochpass-, Tiefpass-, Tiefen- und Höhen-Shelving-Filter, die umfassende Frequenzformungsmöglichkeiten bieten. Ein fußschaltbarer Boost bietet bis zu 30 dB sauberen Gain, und das Pedal arbeitet intern mit 27V für außergewöhnlichen Headroom. Weitere Funktionen sind ein wählbarer 10MΩ Hi-Z-Eingang für Piezo-Tonabnehmer und ein automatisch erkennender symmetrischer Ausgang, was es sowohl für Live- als auch Studioanwendungen geeignet macht.

The Empress Bass ParaEq is the only parametric EQ pedal on the market built from the ground up for bass. It gives players studio-grade tone shaping in a compact pedal format that is purpose-built for low-end instruments, not just adapted from guitar gear.

Following the success of our Bass Compressor—and after hearing from countless players who were already using the ParaEq MKII Deluxe on bass—we knew it was time to give bassists more than a “good enough” EQ. The Bass ParaEq delivers the same transparent, tone-sweetening power that made the Deluxe a favourite, but with frequency ranges, filters, and features tailored specifically for bass.

With a dynamic low shelf, bass-tuned EQ bands, a Hi-Z input for upright players, and an auto-detecting balanced output, it’s built to give bassists the control they’ve always deserved—on stage, in the studio, everywhere.

Der hochgelobte **A2BP pro**, der in zahlreichen musikalischen Szenen Anerkennung gefunden hat, hat sich weiterentwickelt und ist nun der **A2BP pro MARK II** – ein hochwertiger, professioneller **2-Kanal-Bass-Preamp**, der eine präzise Klanggestaltung ermöglicht.  

Wie sein Vorgänger verfügt er über einen Head-Amp, der **Vakuumröhren mit hoher Spannung** antreibt. Allerdings wurde die **Klangregelung** weiter optimiert. **CH-A** behält die ursprüngliche Tonregelung bei, während **CH-B** nun mit der kraftvollen und druckvollen Klangschaltung des **A1BP pro MARK II** ausgestattet ist.  
※ Beide Kanäle haben, wie beim Vorgängermodell, eine **flache Frequenzcharakteristik**, wenn die Klangregler in der Mittelstellung stehen.  

Zusätzlich wurde der bisherige **MUTE-Schalter** im **Toggle-Design** durch einen **Fußschalter** ersetzt, um eine komfortable Bedienung zu ermöglichen. Außerdem wurde ein neuer **BALANCE VOL**-Regler hinzugefügt, mit dem die Lautstärke des **BALANCE OUT** unabhängig vom **MASTER**-Regler eingestellt werden kann.  

Zudem wurde der **AUX IN**-Eingang von **RCA-Anschlüssen** auf eine **3,5-mm-Klinkenbuchse** umgestellt, um die Vielseitigkeit zu erhöhen.

The highly acclaimed A2BP pro, known across numerous sound scenes, has evolved into the high-end, professional-grade **A2BP pro MARK II**—a 2-channel bass preamp designed for ultimate sound shaping.  

As with its predecessor, it features a head amp that drives vacuum tubes at high voltage. However, the tone control has been further refined. CH-A retains the original tone control, while CH-B now incorporates the same robust and powerful tone circuit found in the **A1BP pro MARK II**.  
※ Both channels maintain a flat response when the tone controls are set to the center position, just like the previous model.  

Additionally, the traditional toggle-style **MUTE** switch has been upgraded to a footswitch for hands-free operation. A new **BALANCE VOL** control has been added, allowing independent volume adjustment from the **BALANCE OUT**, separate from the **MASTER** control.  

Furthermore, the **AUX IN** input has been changed from RCA connectors to a **3.5mm jack** for improved versatility.

MXR knows phasers. The Phase 90's compact size, superior construction, and refined sound put MXR on the map, and it set the standard by which all other phasers are judged. Two years later, MXR released the Phase 45—a mellower version of the effect favored for its ability to easily blend into a band's mix. Now, you can get both iconic circuits in a single pedal while tightening up your pedalboard at the same time. The Phase 95 combines the Phase 45 and Phase 90 circuits in a mini housing with about half the footprint of a standard MXR pedal. The 45/90 switch toggles between the Phase 45 mode's subtle two-stage phasing and the Phase 90 mode's more pronounced four-stage phasing, while the Script switch toggles between two phasing styles. The Phase 95 is set to modern style phasing by default, which relies on feedback to create light harmonic distortion and gives the effect a more accentuated swoosh. Engaging the Script switch removes feedback for a lusher, more subdued sound with higher headroom and greater clarity. The familiar Speed control sets the rate of the effect. The Phase 95 may be small, but it's full of rich phase tones, and it'll take a beating on the road.

Die Walrus Audio Julia ist ein komplett analoges Chorus/Vibrato-Pedal, das mit einigen Besonderheiten aufwarten kann. Obwohl es sich bei den beiden um alteingesessene Standard-Effektsounds handelt, versteht es der amerikanische Boutique-Hersteller, mit einigen Extras jenseits der Norm Interesse zu wecken.
So auch bei der Julia, bei der beispielsweise fließend mit einem Blend-Regler zwischen Chorus und Vibrato gewechselt werden kann. Dazu lässt ein Schalter die Wahl, den LFO zu Sinus- oder Dreieck-Wellenformen zu überreden. Was diese Funktionen klanglich bewirken, schauen wir uns im Folgenden an.

The Julia is a fully analog, feature-rich chorus/vibrato packed with a wide array of tonal landscapes begging to be explored. Updated for 2020, Julia now has top mounted jacks, soft switch bypassing and updated art from Adam Forster. 

Julia is able to produce mild smooth chorus, to seasick vibrato and everywhere in between. With controls like Lag, Dry-Chorus-Vibrato Blend, and selectable analog LFO wave shapes, you are able to dial in all types of classic and unique chorus/vibrato sounds; some settings giving a familiar feel while others are not found on traditional chorus pedals.

A special feature of the Julia is the Lag control. The Lag knob lets you set the center delay time that the LFO effect modulates from. From smooth and tight modulation at lower settings, to warbling detune at maximum, the Lag knob adds a new dimension to the traditional Chorus/Vibrato landscape.
