The Korena take
ParaEq MKII is a blue EQ pedal for detailed adjustment when an instrument needs more space in a mix or a feedback issue needs attention. Its low-noise, transparent signal path and 27V internal operation are paired with +30dBu of specified headroom, aimed at clean operation without unwanted clipping. The compact enclosure uses 9VDC center-negative power through a 2.1mm barrel connector and requires 300mA, making its power requirement an important part of pedalboard planning.
