When we released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Although our original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) we set out to do even better. 
On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a fully variable sidechain high pass filter, and a two position ‘tone + colour’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.

The SV-Pre is a JFET preamplifier that has been modeled after the preamp section of the 70s SVT. Each gain stage has been carefully designed to capture the feel of warmth and breakup found on the original amp. Coupled with a cab sim, you could have the monstrous tone of the classic bass amp stack without the challenge of transporting 250 pounds of gear.

 

In addition to the gain stage design, the EQ and tone switches have been designed to give the same response as those on the original amp. The Bass and Treble controls are the standard James stack configuration, having a shelving response of the lows and highs. The eq is flat when at noon.

 

The middle control uses a simulated inductor to emulate the same frequency response and width of the mid control on the SVT. Instead of three fixed frequencies, the frequency knob continuously varies from 220 to 3k Hz. The mid eq is flat when at noon.

 

The Low toggle switch uses the same circuitry as the three-way Ultra lo switch on the SVT. With the toggle to the right, a 2-pole high pass filter is applied, and allows for a more natural drive tone. With the toggle in the middle position, the low end is unaffected. With the toggle in the left position, a slight scoop is applied, emphasizing deep lows and treble frequencies. The Bright toggle switch applies a treble boost, and is more pronounced at lower gain settings.

 

A Master volume knob has been added on the output to set the overall level. Use the Gain knob to set the desired amount of warmth and overdrive. The Gain knob is equivalent the the Volume knob on the 70s SVT.

 

The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). Do not exceed 9V as this will damage the pedal. The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 20 mA.

 

Power Supply Notes

The JFETs are sensitive to power supply noise. Ideally you should use a clean power supply that is isolated from other pedals (i.e. not daisy chained). Some switch mode power supplies tend to be more noisy and should be avoided. Use a good quality, isolated supply and the SV-Pre will perform with very low noise.

 

The SV-Pre has a true bypass switch.

Das Empress ParaEq MKII Deluxe ist ein parametrischer EQ und Boost-Pedal in Studioqualität, das für Gitarre, Bass, Synthesizer und andere Instrumente entwickelt wurde. Es bietet drei vollständig parametrische EQ-Bänder mit einstellbarer Frequenz, Verstärkung und durchstimmbarer Q-Einstellung für präzise Klangformung. Es verfügt über Baxandall-artige High-Shelf- und Low-Shelf-Shelving-Filter sowie umschaltbare 12-dB/Oktave-Hochpass- und Tiefpassfilter für eine fein abgestimmte Klangregelung. Eine Clean-Boost-Sektion ist ebenfalls enthalten und liefert bis zu +30 dB Signalverstärkung, um Verstärker oder lange Signalketten anzusteuern. Der Signalweg bleibt vollständig analog und rauschoptimiert und bietet auch bei intensiver Nutzung einen hohen Headroom und Transparenz. Das Pedal unterstützt je nach Ihren Routing-Anforderungen einen wählbaren True-Bypass- oder Buffered-Bypass-Modus.

The Empress ParaEq MKII Deluxe is a studio-grade parametric EQ and boost pedal designed for guitar, bass, synth or other instruments. It offers three fully parametric EQ bands with adjustable frequency, gain, and sweepable Q settings for precise tone shaping. It adds Baxandall-style high-shelf and low-shelf shelving filters plus switchable 12 dB/octave high-pass and low-pass filters for refined tone control. A clean boost section is included, delivering up to +30 dB of signal boost to drive amps or long signal chains. The signal path remains fully analog and noise-optimized, providing high headroom and transparency even under heavy use. The pedal supports a selectable true-bypass or buffered-bypass mode depending on your routing needs.

The Torpedo C.A.B. M+ takes Two Notes’ acclaimed cabinet emulation technology and packs it into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Thanks to this speaker cabinet emulator pedal, you can bypass your guitar or bass amplifier’s cabinet while preserving every ounce of your tone and spatial dimension. This pedal is loaded right out of the box — you get 32 guitar and bass cabinets, eight power amplifiers, eight microphones, and eight rooms. And if you’ve upgraded to the latest firmware, you also get a high-headroom clean preamp emulation, transforming the C.A.B. M+ into a premium-sounding clean pedal platform, complete with studio-grade effects.

Tief - 40 bis 400 Hz
Mittel - 200 bis 2.000 Hz
Hoch - 1.000 bis 10.000 Hz

The Parametric Equalizer offers three bands of equalization with independent control of frequency, bandwidth, and level for each band.

Each band has up to 15 dB of boost or cut. The bandwidth ranges from 0.25 to 2.5 octaves. 
Low - 40 to 400 Hz
Mid - 200 to 2,000 Hz
High - 1,000 to 10,000 Hz

The Silver Deluxe is a JFET boost with a Fender tone stack EQ. The JFET topology adds some character to your signal, while the passive EQ delivers the familiar response found on many classic tube amps.

The EQ is an exact recreation of the Fender tone stack with Mids. It is also the same as the Alembic F2B.

The Silver Deluxe is designed to produce mild JFET overdrive when pushed. This is achievable with instrument level signals, and powering the pedal with a 9V supply. For a clean output, it is recommended to use a higher supply voltage.

The Fliptop is a JFET preamplifier that is modeled after the B15 amplifier. The gain staging and EQ sections were carefully designed to give the feel and response of the vintage tube amp, offering a good range of pillowy tone that can be driven to the point of light overdrive if pushed.

 In addition to the James stack EQ and gain staging, the Fliptop adds a Master volume control on the output so you can dial in the amount of drive you want while adjusting the volume as needed.

 The Cab knob is essentially a wet/dry control, allowing you to apply 0 to 100% of the cab tone to the preamplifier output. Dialing in more of the cab response tightens the low end and cuts the high frequencies for a warm, vintage tone. The frequency response is modelled after the 15" cab.
